Venice | Italy

To us, every canal in Venice is grand; but to the Venetians only one can be named as the true Grand Canal and that is just what it is. Gondolas are known to bestride the canal as they await the brimmed hatted striders to climb aboard and call passersby to join them. Stepping down into the aged vessel a sound begins to wind its way into your ears as the gondolier steers the craft into the canal. The sweet sound grows stronger and with more grandeur as it translates to the sound of love; of amore. Slowly you drift with that sound, trying to hold onto it endlessly. So in walking past these floating melodies, I had to capture their sound with an image, just to hold on to that moment a little while longer.
