Venezia...
As you all know or should know I have a never ending passion for Venice...

As Venezia in Italy not some pseudo copy around...

However, spent my last rolls of film with the bessa r3a, the ultron 35mm CV and industar 61 "all'ultimo giorno di Carnevale"!


Although the rainy day the Bessa performed as well as my eye did.

And after actually loosing some shots cause I could not shoot as much as I wanted I decided to go digital.


Someone actually wanted to surprise me by gifting me with a nice M8 but considering it arrived broken and I should have waited other weeks before another one would arrive I decided that if I will ever own a Leica it will be film and when I could afford one.


I have to consider many things if I want to work as a pro in the future ( I do think that at the moment I could be as capable as few are in the business). That however does not fit my idea of doing architecture in uni...


And Venice is one of those places I like to abuse of. Simply daydreaming.

Magic... hope you understand my point of view!

And every time I go there I do not act like a tourist but as a person who would actually love to live there...

And for that reason I probably see those places noone will ever see...

And take photos of things all day photographers do not consider as photos.


With all those masks who would like to remember a face like that?

Or


He was smoking and I kindly asked if I could take a photo of him smoking but he preferred not. The coloured thing you see on the right is some sort of schedule.

Or

Jesus fuckin Christ... You can't see him every day...

Also because everyone took this photo


Industar performed quite well... and you see really really poor scans here!


Shot two rolls of colour film and for my fortune it was rolling when it had to...

The thing I did not like about this guys is that they were actually asking money around... You should'nt... And they were gipseys...


The necessary brick test..


When I was shooting this there was this guy with his big tele zoom trying to see what camera I was using... that made me think people do not even know what a fuckin bessa or leica could look like... poor poor guys!

However... the only thing I do not like to is scan! Takes way too much time.
I should be packing everything cause I finally found a nice apartment where I will actually have a living room, a kitchen, a sleeping room and not a hotel fucking room!

Nice... I can finally cook!


This made me think my grandfather actually raised pidgeons and as long as they eat healthy things the meat is really really good.

But... he is old and kinda hates me now!

The same old story of the sons paying for the mistakes of their parents.


Chillin...


The owner was really happy about the mask touching the little fella... the best photo he took all day. I bet he said that to other...




Did I mention I like details...


And DOF... I am really thinking about the canon 40D for the possibility of the 85 1.2 (1000euro never mounted on a camera) I mean who buys a 2500euro lens and does not use it! Just like the 50 1.2! in my opinion that is sickness!


As sick as I am for details... dunno!


Thinking about putting some of these photos togherther for a portfolio and send then to some magazines here and there...


That guy was the official photographer... WTF??

Snapping here and there trying to escape from me papping him... made my smile!


Love the things you see and not expected to (girl's face on the right)...

Just like asking old ladies if I can pap them...


So sorry she did not do eye contact...


This was before I asked and her friend noticed but was not as pretty as my "girl"!


Then I walk around...


This photo made me think of the HDR fan as Chris calls him on DA...

And about how prick he is...

And that cool photos will never be of popular interest if you are not a famous bitch or a cock sucker...

Choose your target... aim... shoot! And hope the photo is good!

Some seconds of pure passion and high blood pressure! That's it...

Of course that is my opinion!




After all the carnival is all about masks no??


This actually made me think about some porn film...


Oh... all film was 200 iso pushed to 400!

I'm stuck on 400...


Details...

And moments...


And masks...


But with moments inside...


I should have done more photos of this!

Considering the photos I saw yesterday in an expo, mine could be considered as perfect creative movement!

yeah...

But..


Probable lesbian couple dressed as men is far more interesting that a Violin player...


This made me hungry...



I am realising I actually had colour film when I needed it...

Lucky me..

5b&w films are waiting to be scanned...




Pidgeons always do their part...

Entrepreneur...


This kid chose the only pidgeon fucked up by human presence...




And masks...

And masks...



And painters..


I actually have a photo of them near the fish market from some year ago... Was glad I found them and took a photo of their faces and not the thing they were drawing...


I loved their style.. and that they paint together...

Even if I use fuck here and there and don't praise the holy mother I'm pretty romantic...

However..


I was disturbing them so I changed point of view...

Wonder why she was surprised...

We were all watching some guys performing...


And they were happy we did...



Wondered what this mask was about.. could not see their faces...

This was all before I got kidnapped by asterix...


Kidding...

Ok...

Another complete b&w post soon...

As soon as I scan the photos and find a place where I will have internet...

So happy about changing house...

Gotta go pack some stuff, pick up some shirts at the laundry shop and eat something.

Love, light and champagne,

Yours,

Ovi

Fun!
I love Venice. But I *did* not switch to digital, you wheenie. I just insertd anotehr roll. And anyway, I shoot little.

You have some nice shots here! And... That lady which made you hungry, is a friend of mine, I photographed her a whole day...

I am still scanning and preparing the venetian images, I don't know well what to do, since I never got a real uber.com fan and I will publish just a couple of shots on deviantart. I will probably make them privately available to the mentioned lady, if you are interested.... I can tell you how to reach the images.

you make it so terrifically romantic! I wish I'd learned Italian so I could study architecture there.

Great shots! Even the shots of those damned sky-rats look nice! ;-)

Someday I will get to go myself... *sigh*

Dude.... some gorgeous shit there... I think I prefer your colour work to your BW work... your colour work is seriously the shit. Some fucking gorgeous shots, put them together and send them to a magazine - asap. Send them low res JPEGs, they'd be fools not to use some of these in a story!
