There’s a reason poets and artists sing the praises of Venice. It’s beauty is so rare, that even in the Italian sea of beauties, Venice stands out like a sunrise-hued rose in a field of white blossoms. In fact, it’s easy to swept up in the colors of Venice, and miss her other, subtler glories. So on this trip to Venice, I played with seeing Venice, in black and white, or at least mostly black and white. See what you think?
