This is my second visit to Venice and Kathryn’s 4th! As with any place, you see things from a different perspective during subsequent visits. Obviously, this time my perspective is from behind the camera while last time it was with honeymoon eyes.  One of our goals for shooting Venice is to get some street shots, close-ups, and people shots. Our next post will have some more traditional shots of Venice for you to enjoy. But, now, onto today.

Here are nearly a dozen shots from our first 24 hours in Venice. Enjoy them, and…
