The work of the Gondolier in Venice begins in the morning and ends in the dark.
It is a mix of strength in rowing, the ability to speak with customers (especially foreigners) and the ability to use the Venetian dialect for any type of swearing, LOL.
In these photos there is also a small testimony of a small shed for gondolas, not so easy to glimpse in the most touristic routes.
Black and white photos of Venice are rare. All the more so for color postcard photos, which can be boring for many already. It’s good to see that there is someone who resists the magic of color and the usual presentation of tourist attractions. I love the dramatic contrasts.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Really appreciate it! 🙏
