During that day I was with an American couple working at their portraits in Venice, we met a very broad range of weather conditions from ice to rain and finally sun.
But the images I like the most came right after this assignment.
When we were done and they went to have lunch I was walking home and saw this artist preparing to reproduce by drawing a local church on paper.

After asking if it was ok for her I set up the camera and waited for the right moment.
While I framed instinctively once viewing the results at home I was surprised to see how everything felt in its place on its own in particular the reflection for the drawing sheep of paper on her face and the umbrella used to avoid sitting on the wet ground that frames the subject.
I did appreciate also the taste in choosing colours and on how these matched the rest of the background.
The main challenge has been waiting for people to go away from the background and for the artist to forget that I was there and regaining her concentration on the drawing itself.
This is an examples of how interesting could be life in a city without cars, in most other places I would have been either on one or it could have been impossible to set the tripod on their way.
