While in Venice, I came across statues of the horses of St. Marks. I didn’t have a camera to shoot them with that I could use without a tripod. Since St. Marks would not allow tripods inside, I had to wait a year. When I returned this past December, I took my Hasselblad so I could shoot inside the building.

I don’t normally shoot statues or buildings, but the past year or so, mostly because I’ve been visiting Venice (as a holiday and respite from my usual landscape photography), I’ve engaged in it.

I think all you can do, is photograph the things that speak to you.

I really liked the horses. I don’t really have anything more to say on it, except that I like the bronze look to the final edits I’ve made, which I had envisioned at the time I made the images.
