Picture of the Week #217 "Masquerade Madness"  Venice, Italy 2011 Signed and Stamped

Look closely. I took this photo of a costumed Carnival goer at the Venice Carnivale. They were part of the 306 people that I had the absolute joy of photographing full figure in their elaborate and sometime homemade costumes. I have no idea who made this extravagant outfit but I know it was eye catching. I floated their image over a piece of their costume which I used as a backdrop in photoshop. I printed a 44 inch wide by 54 inch high image for my home. That tells you how much I love this. I'm hoping to publish a book of them titled "Carnivale Candy".
