This was one of the first ever digital photos I took, and it happened to be in my beloved Venice.
My new camera was only two weeks old, and I was still learning basic things like how not to get my finger to obscure the lens...
I remember sitting along the water of the Riva degli Schiavoni when the contrast between light (Palace) and dark (Prison) caught my eye. I knew right away it had to be a black and white shot. I also knew right away that it was destined to be one of my favorites. I look back on it now and smile, because my train of thought is frozen in that frame.
And, little did I know, hundreds of thousands of photos would follow it over the years, and I'd have a photography shop 7 years later...
