Joshua, Ronny, Philippe, Jim and all others... thank you very much for the kind words and Like received
Always really impressed by the quality and the variety of images I find here every days... usually twice a day
These two images are not so special but I found interesting because show life traces (not human) in Death Valley
It seems my 16-35 was stuck on 16mm and f/11

Ronny and Joshua -- you guys are in another realm, along with such folks as Fred (and others, too many to mention -- well, there's DigitalAM, Bob, darbo, Manuel, Werner, and Helena, to name a few more).
Such a consistent flow of great images. I am honored by your "likes" and you raise my game by your examples and vision. Thank you!
This is a terrific thread, full of comaraderie.
Sorry to leave off so many great artists -- you are all admired, as shown by my frequent "likes".Jim, thank you! I am very flattered.....
We discovered this particular spot by accident 4 years ago and the images from this were wonderful. So, we went back to this spot and this time around, it seems the rendition was even better. Back then I used a zoom lens and now I resorted to a prime with a faster aperture. So, maybe just the difference in gear selection caused it.
Joshua -- I've been wondering, and perhaps you know, how do these performers keep their costumes so impeccably clean? I thought of this the other day with your bright "Limoncello" photo. I see them posed touching walls, lampposts, props and each other, yet they look very clean on all edges. Any ideas?
Secondly, how do they get paid? Is it private short sessions, or multi-photogs at once? What do rates run, and is there some union or casual agreement on fees and locations?
It seems a fascinating performance culture!

Hi Jim,
First off, they are all enthusiasts, just like the photographers. They are not getting paid like we are not getting paid. No money is being exchanged, just friendship at least with several of them. After doing this a few times, they know you and know your work. They pose for you and in return we send them the pictures. If they like your work they are more than willing to pose for you in a private session. They will do extra effort to have you take their pictures based on your past work. We also go out in street clothing for dinner together after the shooting is done. As matter of fact, that's the passion and friendship that I treasure a lot in addition to just taking pictures.
We communicate via email or on FB and since those folks wear costumes that change on a yearly basis, it would be hard to recognize them behind masks. So, they sent me a few images before hand for me to be able to recognize them. In other words, it is more than just simply taking pictures, there is more behind the scene or below the surface action that takes place.
Most of what's going on at San Marco Square is more an open event. At any given moment there could be 50 people in costume/mask and photographers crowd around them to take their pictures, just like paparazzi's. The better looking or more sophisticated costumes/masks will attract more photographers. I do pull some masks that I think are unique aside and direct them to do certain poses for you but there will be a throng of photographers that follow you around and take pictures with you at the same time. Here is a behind the scene image of what's going on at San Marco in the morning. We are talking about photographers with sophisticated gear/lighting to just simple phones here
.
Yes, we do private shoots, too. Then it is mostly our small group and the model. In the last 7 years or so, the 3 of us, Bobby, Luz and yours truly, went as a group. Manuel LaMantia lives in Parma, really close to Venice and I invited him last year to join us. Too bad, he couldn't do it this year.
Sophie Farfalla (her stage name) and her husband, they are our dear friends, share the same hotel as we do and I know she does that. I am sure others do clean and take care of their costumes every day or even more often, as needed. BTW, believe it or not, some dedicated folks come with more than just a single costume. Sometimes, even 3 or 4 costumes. They spend almost 2 weeks in Venice and go out 3-4 times a day to have their pictures taken. Talking about hard core and dedication/passion. It is not cheap to stay that long there....
Hope this helps,
Joshua

Jim and Karl-Heiz,
Thank you for your compliment and interest in this event. Just a few more notes regarding this. Although it sounds/looks like fun, and it was but let me tell you that it did involve a lot of hard work.
I arrived Venice and checked-in at the hotel around 2:30 PM. I was out by 3:00 and did a grueling private session until dark. I was pretty much the only photographer and there were 4 models. Early the following morning when it was still dark, I was out again shooting at the open event at San Marco for about 2.5 hours until about 8:30. I went back to the hotel and had breakfast. After a short break, i went out again doing various sessions at various locations until dark. I did that 3 full days in the row. In the evening at dinner I had a glass of wine or two. Then I went back to the room and downloaded the files. No processing just looking and apparently I dozed off right their at the desk.
Frankly, I noticed that this year, this is my 5th carnival in the last 7 years, that I was really exhausted by the 3rd day. On the 4th day, I just did a morning session, then I had to pack my stuff and I took the water bus back to the airport. I felt that with so many things going on, so many private sessions that I wanted to do and cramped in in a short period of time, I was running out of time and energy. If I am doing this again, I will do it over 5 or even 6 days and I would take it more easier that way.
Here is Paolo Favalesi, a good friend, during a private session. After our private session, we went with him to San Marco on the way to the hotel. He got "mugged" by people that wanted to take his pictures or had their pictures taken with him there. He told me later on that it took him 2.5 hours to walk back to his nearby hotel.

Thanks Joshua. I know from experience if something looks utterly effortless - like your images do - there is a tremendous amount of hard work behind it. The energy you stick into your projects is breathtaking. Congratulations for another stunning images producing effort on your part and on the part of those wonderful folks in the costumes and behind those masks. WOW! All of that must require quite a bit preparation, just thinking of the creativity and work to make those costumes and masks.
Many thanks again to all of you, Karl-Heinz.
