This is an image taken as I was wandering the back streets and canals of Venice Italy. Wanting to get away from the main tourist attractions, I explored the sinking city with no agenda other than taking in the local side of this European jewel. I happened upon this scene in Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio. This shot was taken with my Toyo 45A 4x5 camera with a Horseman 6x12cm panoramic roll film back. The sounds of old men speaking Italian talking about foreign subjects in the local cafe, the neighborhood boys playing soccer in the streets, and the antique boats parked next the the vibrantly colored homes all seemed to capture the essence of this magical place. It was by far my favorite place that I visited in Europe. While Piazza San Marco, and the Rialto Bridge were truly something to behold, it was this little piazza that will always hold a special memory to me.
