A picture I took a while ago came in to my mind as soon as I read this weekly photo challenge. I love to photograph old people but that sunday morning I was just looking for something suggesting loneliness and neglect (don’t ask me why), so I found myself courting a solitary bench; but something better got into the frame. This old woman walking through the maze of venetian streets fits perfectly with what I was looking for and she added some meaning to the shot: “you have to travel light to go as far as I did”. And she certainly seems to have gone quite a long way through the journey of her life.
Shot at f/7,1, 1/250 sec.
Nice photo, love the bit of green from the cart.
Thanks Bill!
Me too; I think it’s funny.. it seemed to be everything orange there 😉
This is such a great photo! The green and red contrasting add so much great quality to this, and the expression of the person walking by is great. Great post, from one photographer to another. Keep at this challenge, you’ll thank yourself!
Tanks Aaron!
I really appreciate your comment! And I’ve just looked at your skies.. they are great!

Una foto che racconta moltissimo!
Grazie per la visita Giorgia 😉 anch’io mi sono perso tra i tuoi colori!
nice: “you have to travel light to go as far as I did”
I enjoy the photo, but I think equal to that I enjoyed you thoughts about the photograph and journeys.
