Venice, Fondamenta Toletta (osm) Having had the luxury of enough free time in Venice, I allowed myself to succumb to the treat of a Biennale visit. So expect some images from the Biennale d’Architettura over the course of the next days.

Hanging The “Forcola”
Today I managed to hang my prints of the “Forcola” in our adult education centre’s main hall as part of a group exhibition of our local photography class. The venue is the ancient fire brigade’s car hall, with a more than difficult lighting situation as the now glass-equipped doors provide enough light to cause all…

Höglwörth Holy Grave 2013
Only every third year, the Holy Grave gets erected for good friday and saturday in the sanctuary of the Höglwörth Monastery church. This year, 10.000 visitors were expected, end even late in the evening, the volunteer fire brigade was regulating the car traffic to and from the church. The colored lights come from glass bulbs…
Moorish-Venetian
Venice, Calle S. Bernardo In earlier times, such a subject would have called for a view camera in order to remove negative perspective effects on the verticals. But how would you have set up such gear from a boat? In my film days I had done perspective correction under the enlarger (not really successfully, as…

Bailing
Venice, Fondamenta Borgo (osm) This image is unusually colorful for me, and I still have the feeling it lacks proper balance in terms of colors. The yellow board in the bow is something I would have loved to exchange for a hue already used in the boat – why not the orange? But then, this…

Hanging Out In Venice
Venice, Fondamenta San Giobbe I “borrowed” the title from Paul Maxim. What has become rare in many countries – especially with low electric power prices – is still just normal in Italy: To hang the washing on a line outside the window and let wind and sun do the drying.

Almost Graveyard Peace
Venice, Calle dello Spezier (osm) This image was taken on the first and unforgettable evening (better: morning) of last year’s business trip to Venice. Rule-obeying civil servants that my colleague and me are, we took public transport from the airport to our hotel in spite of the plane’s arrival well past 22:00 hours. It turned…

From Above II
Venice, Piazza San Marco (osm) Due to the gondolas I am more than just touching cliché here, but then, my hidden megalographer sometimes breaks through.

Leaving The House
Venice, Calle Saoneria Dorsoduro (osm) Having been deprived of car traffic for only two days, at that day it felt completely normal for me that you can run out of the house into the street without having to look left or right. Impossible in our cities, but in Venice, this is just the regular situation.
