Venice | Italy

When light and water play, the game is delightful to watch. And in a city like Venice, water itself can become the playing field. In a watery Venetian “street” already lit with soft, inviting hues, we noticed light streaming down the canal, shimmering on the water’s surface. We set up our cameras and waited for all the players to join in. Moments passed, travelers passed. Then, in a flash, a gondolier passed. The light caught a long oar perfectly, then sent its glowing reflection to the waiting water, which, ever cooperative, passed it down the canal to us.
