When we’re paddling around Venice we often get photographed, very often indeed, and every once in a while the photos appear here and there, in magazines, on web sites, in blogs or even in advertising. We do stick out a bit in the canals of Venice.
Last month when I was out paddling with a couple, I paddled backwards down the Canal Grande, just so I could get them some good holiday shots from their kayaking tour in Venice.
By chance Fausto Maroder who works at the Alloggi Barberia in Venice, noticed it and took some photos. He has later put those photos on his blog.
Interestingly, while I did it to take photographs, he imagines I did it to be photographed.
Here are a few other photos from that same day.
