Picture of the Week #461 "Boo - Trick or Treat" Venice, Italy 2017 Signed & Stamped

At the Venice Biennale I came into this room filled with imposing masks. Needless to say I had to document the installation. And now that we are approaching Halloween tomorrow night I thought what a fine representation these masks make for the annual holiday. I'm sorry that I don't know which artist or country had made this intriguing exhibition. Trick or treat.

Picture of the Week #460 "Colorful Cleanup Crew" Paris, France 2017 Signed & Stamped

Again traipsing through one of my favorite cities on earth, Paris, I always find something to record. This time it was soap. I don't know many photographers that find what I find to record. I also try and have a sense of humor with the image or the title. This was a no brainer. Snap and it was saved for posterity. Or at least last longer than the soap.

Picture of the Week #459 "Chicken Window" Paris, France 2017 Signed & Stamped

Walking the streets of Paris ALWAYS offers me something to photograph. This window obviously caught my eye and I snapped away. You can still see some of the street reflected. I am focusing my photos from this trip on color. I love that they blare out at you. I can't promise all of the images from this trip will be as bright and fun as this one, but I'll keep looking thru the 4,000 photos I took. 

Picture of the Week #458 "Silver Haired Beauty" Paris, France 2017 Signed & Stamped

Walking by the Pyramid at the Louvre I spotted this beauty having her photo taken by a friend. I couldn't help but notice her and snapped a few images myself. Then I walked behind her to get a shot of her silver braids when she turned just enough for me to get her profile. Once back home in my studio I was able to clean up the background so that she stood out even more. A true ten. 

Picture of the Week #457 "Perusing Puffy Pillow Piece" Venice, Italy 2017 Signed & Stamped

Another installation at the Venice Biennale that caught my eye. The room was dimly lit but you could still get the power of the color and shapes. I have a few more pictures but without anyone there. You couldn't tell the scale until this woman happened to come in to check it out.
