Venice is unique, and every opportunity to visit is therefore special.  For hundreds of years Venice was at the merchant and cultural crossroads of the civilized world.  We were there for just a week, which is hardly enough time to get comfortable just finding your way around the narrow streets and over the canal bridges without constant reference to maps.  I had just begun to capture what I wanted, and it was time to go.  Go, enjoy, relax, and you may start to see. 

Five of the "Fading Memories" images received a Lucie Award in 2005.  (http://photoawards.com/05/contests/2005winners.asp)
