Leica X2

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.
