Day 2 — A Place For Everyone
Venice, California: The place where cultures, art, uniqueness and eccentricity meet and give a daily show of togetherness and separation.
Togetherness because it brings to a single place enormous contrasts of people and different backgrounds, but also separation because everything has its place. For surfers, there’s a place, for graffiti artists, there’s a place, for skaters, bikers, rollerbladers, hippies, models, drunks, green doctors, painters, psychics, homeless, bodybuilders, there’s a place for each one of them in Venice too. Venice is a place with sense of community and respect for each other: No matter how close they are, they are sharing a material world and a part of their own intellectual one as well.
For the photography part of this challenge, this time I’m going to start by showing you the edited photos first and then, the originals.
The edited ones:
And of course, I couldn’t have left without some good photos of the skateboarders.
As you can see the day was unusually foggy, but I think that helps to set the tone of the pictures.
As per the originals, they are grey, probably too grey, so hopefully you’ll notice how much work went in them to try to replicate the colourful mood Venice always has. Here they are:
That’s it! I hope you like this post.
See you tomorrow for the third day!
Stay strong,
Juan.
P.S.: I’m going to post these photos along with yesterday ones (and also future ones) on my Instagram account if you want to follow me there too:
Cheers!
