Away from the crowds, away from the clichés, on a discovery of the real Venice
This collection of photos by the great Venice lover, and soon to become a new citizen of Venice, Jon Gerrard, shows the strong connection between Venice, the water, and the Venetian rowing.
As if through a subconscious process, Jon’s collection alternates the immortal beauty of Venetian landmarks with everyday life, situations, and weather condition just as every Venetian experiences on a daily basis, thus making locals recognize their “home” and helping everyone else discover the uniqueness of the real life in Venice.
