Sunset Sunday: Venice

March 2014 - Venice, Italy

It rained on and off the entire time I was in Venice, but on the last afternoon the sky finally opened up. Liza and I were down in the Dorsoduro area getting gelato, but with the sight of blue skies we hauled our butts to the Rialto bridge and were blessed with this gorgeous view. 

Beginnings

I am finally feeling a little more settled in with my new laptop. I've gotten better at faking my way through Lightroom and even made a weak attempt at organizing the photos on my hard drive. I've had the best time looking through my photo archives. I've been laughing my butt off at how I thought some photos I took were really hot shit, but looking at them now, they are actually terrible. There was a time when I only shot in no flash mode and in JPEG. Que horror! 

Anyway,  here's a very old one from China Summer 2010, long before I got my hands on a DSLR and understood anything about photography (what am I talking about, I still know nothing). This serendipitous shot was taken at Hangzhou with my point + shoot.   I was walking around the West Lake, looked back over my shoulder and snapped this fleeting moment before it rode away.
