5722+ views, 48 faves. This is one of my favourite shots taken on Ilford black and white roll film and with a Pentax ESPIO 150SL 35mm film camera. This was taken in St Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy. I have scanned the print. I like the timelessness of this shot and the sense of innocence. She was surrounded by the pigeons at first and she didn’t mind. But later, one flew on her head and she minded a lot.
This shot was featured in the ‘Urban Art’ Group, the ‘Other Side of Italy’ Group, the ‘I love Italy’ Group, the ‘All Street Portraiture’ Group, the ‘Black and White Enhusiast’ Group, ‘City Life is the only Life’ Group, the ‘Retro Conglomerate’ Group and the ‘Magic of Black and White’ Group.
