Lots of news today!
First, today is the last day to link up for January’s Photo-Heart Connection. There’s been a great response to this new series! I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to connect with each of you as you connect with your heart. I love seeing the community of kindred spirits grow around this. Don’t worry about being a “latecomer” to the party. It lasts a week so that you have time to find your heart connection and write about it. That’s not always easy! Consider joining in today.
Second, the winner of the Evidence of Love postcard giveaway is comment #20: Sharon. Congrats Sharon! Enjoy sharing a little love with the world. If you didn’t win and you would still like to share the love, the images in the Evidence of Love series are all available in my RedBubble shop. Or, as always, I encourage you to create your own images and share the love that way. So many options!
I continue my sharing of new Market/Wheels images today with this one from Venice. As I showed the other day, in the Venetian Lagoon it’s not all delivery by water. Wheels are needed to get the market wares to the shops, the same as in any city, they are just smaller and non-motorized. It takes effort to live and work in Venice.
This image shows you what a typical market store looks like in Venice. Tucked in a side alley, off the tourist paths, you will find these little markets bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to the permanent population. The texture that is found everywhere in Venice comes through here, from the rust on the cart to the crumbly brick walls. It’s a perfect example of why I loved photographing Venice so much, with the bonus of being part of the market/wheels series too.
I hope you have a wonderful day today!
Kat, I think this is my favorite image so far in your Market/Wheels series.I love the textured wall and the inky shadows. And I noted that not only the little cart, but the market stand itself is on wheels. Your post reminded me of the book A Thousand Days in Venice by Marlena de Blasi. I was amazed at both the quantity of food she described eating and all the walking she did on her daily shopping rounds to obtain it. It must have been a perfect balance, because she looked great in the photos at the back of the book.
That sounds like a book I need to read, Lee!
I am really enjoying this series. I love all that brick work. Such an old world feeling.
Another beautiful image. Filled with beautiful textures and colors. That wall is just wonderful. Your images make me yearn for a trip to Italy and getting lost in the streets.
Hi Kat, we are taking part of Photo-heart Connection! We really enjoyed the experience of photojournaling! Although our time is so little, we are trying to practise everything you’ve learned from you! Thanks!
This photo so takes me back to my visit to Venice! You mention the rust and the crumbling brick walls, exactly what I so loved photographing my trip to Morocco! Love your series!
I would really love to get to Morocco someday! It looks amazing.
I have been enjoying your series. Some day I would like to see this kind of market for myself, but if not, I’ve experienced it thru you.
Am really enjoying visiting as many of the PHC participants as possilbe. What at great link. Can’t wait until next month.
This photo makes me want to jump on a plane and head to Venice. It is also making want to take some photo excursions to our street side fruit vendors here in PR.
