Venezia, bianco e nero by David Korchin

Ponte dei Sospiri (“Bridge of Sighs”), Venice IT

It’s probably one of the most visited—and photographed—cities in the world. Winter, I thought, would be a good time to point a lens and without throngs of tourists becoming part of the scene, though there are many great photographers who make crowds the essential subject. My first hours were pretty snap-happy, having never visited before. But after a few days I felt if I ever shoot another gondola scene again it’ll be too soon. Here are a few night time frames, gallery views and isolated moments.

I just got back from a business trip, this time to Tulsa, OK on some client work. One evening we managed to take in the Tulsa State Fair, which for any photographer is a kind of heaven. Would have loved to spend the week there.
