| While walking in the street in Venice, I encountered this charming gondoliere and his friend. I tried to take the shot surreptitiously, but they caught me—and smiled anyway. Grazie! [To see more "street" shots, go here.] |

It does look like Venice has been around awhile. From the looks of those walls, at least from...
ReplyDeleteA place that gives rise to such genuine, unaffected smiles deserves a few more thousand millennia.
How surreptitious was that, by the way?
You must have kept your large format camera in your purse.
That is such a warm, wonderful shot. They were probably tickled that a "bella" wanted their photo. :-)
ReplyDeleteTall Gary, it would be quite a purse, to hold that little camera! Rather difficult to carry over the bridges.

How cute and cheerful they are... I knew your city today because the walls gave it away. Yes, it is hard to be surreptitious when you have a honking big camera!

I think their smiles show they are very flattered. & I am sure they loved a pretty blonde taking their picture!
ReplyDeletethis is a great portrait Alexa.
What could be more wonderful that a candid shot when they see you and smile. Great shot.
