Here's another example of the amazing light effect that comes from a light bulb encased in a wire mesh in a narrow little calle in Venice. I really want you to click on the photo to make it bigger. It has an immersive quality when enlarged. Of all the photos I've made, when I see this one large, it transports me to Venice.
(click on it for an enlargement). The picture was shot it on a sweltering September night last year.I have another shadow web shot in an earlier post here.
By the way, this photo scales up amazingly well, poster size and beyond with tremendous detail. It was shot with a medium format camera using Fuji Velvia film.
Norm -
How about sending these to Hollywood? Maybe they'll bring Spidey to Venice? Imagine the webslinger reinacting famous acrobatic feats from the Campanile to the Doge's Palace? I bet photoshop could do quite a bit with that image!
How about an escape from the prisons - Cassanova style? Spidey on the cover of children's book 'The Thief Lord', another great image.
Thanks for curing the North Jersey rain blues,

Hah! Sony is my client, coincidentally.
Moving from Maplewood (North Jersey) to Laguna Niguel CA tomorrow. Ocean view, but 5 hours further from Venice (Italy, that is).

Wow. Thank you Norman. Thank you Venice.

Great site!
Glad to think someone else finds the spider shadows so evocative of Venice. I do regret that they have become less precise and distinctive since the change over from single filament clear bulbs to opaque (energy-saver?) ones a few years ago.

Norman, this is a most exquisite photo. Do you know is it possible to have it professionally printed? I would love to hang it on my wall in Chicago so that I can continue my Venice dreams. One of my fondest memories is a walk through a little street like this at dusk on my way to a concert last September. There were bats -- little ones, flying about. Exquisitely Venice.

See my post today.
