Forgotten Postcard - Venice, Italy

Forgotten Postcard - Venice, Italy

I’m up to my old tricks again! I’m now truly hooked on the Forgotten Postcard concept. I went digging through my old photos today to find some that I wasn’t altogether happy with to see what could be done.

Venice is one of those timeless, European cities. I haven’t had the best of luck photographing it as both times I’ve been there the weather has been horrid. This particular shot was pretty drab and boring. Hopefully it’s a bit more interesting now :)

    I like your way of turning a common (or maybe boring, if you say so :)) picture to a nice piece of art :) Great vintage look again!

    Thank you so Lenka! Trust me, the original wasn’t very interesting :)

    Alison these are so good! Have you approached anyone with the view of selling these images to be used on real postcards!

  • Alison Cornfor... replied

    Thanks so much Joanne! You know what, I literally just started making these as I’ve been posting them so they really haven’t gotten any farther than RB yet. When I get back from vacation I would definitely like to start looking for an outlet for them.

  • Alison Cornfor... replied

    Lol! Thanks Lesley! I never liked history that much in school but mostly because Canadian history is so boring :)

    You did a great job on this one again. I can´t imagine how drab and horrid it was before, but now it¨s fantastic.

  • Alison Cornfor... replied

    Thanks Mirka! It was rainy and grey that day but in my mind, Venice should be more like this :)

    I sort of would like to know some, as I was born in Toronto and don’t really know any at all?!

  • Alison Cornfor... replied

    Hehe, you really aren’t missing much… except for the war of 1812 when we burned down the White House :)
