Hello everyone and thank you for all your wonderful comments on Venice Week!
For the final installment, I’ve brought you a special treat.
Many of you know that my husband David is a marvelous photographer (and the unwavering champion of my creative endeavors). For several months, he has been working on a new project which has now been released: Venice, Images and Reflections, a spectacular 240-page, multi-media travel e-book featuring five videos and 300 of his gorgeous photographs of Venice. I asked him if I could share a few images and the intro video from the book with you here:
The book is filled with amazing panoramas, unusual details, and classic but unique views of Venice.
Many days during our trip, we set off in different directions, so D’s photographs cover areas I didn’t even visit. And he gained access to photograph many seldom seen interiors:
Included are chapters focusing on gondolas and gondoliers, including wonderful scenes of “off duty” gondoliers, and Venetian residents going about their daily lives. My favorite chapter is devoted entirely to D’s photographs of the ever-changing, impressionistic and enchanting reflections to be found throughout the city:
If Venice has captivated you, but a trip to the city is not in your near future, this book will transport you there.
It is available in an iBooks version for the iPad, ePub version for other readers and in a printed version.
– You can download a very generous sample and also purchase the iBooks version for iPad here.
– You can purchase the ePub (for Kindle, Nook, desktop computer, laptop, etc.) version here.
– A preview of the first 37 pages and the hard copy are available here.
Thank you again for joining us and allowing us to bring our unforgettable trip to Venice to you.
Wishing you a week filled with love, beauty and fulfillment.
much love,
G

Ha! You certainly have some competition there! Love the photos with the reflections in the water – stunning! Hope you have a lovely week xo
Georgianna, the video is SUPERB ! I looked at it twice ! Your husband is an amazing photographer, I love his work and these photos are breathtaking. Does he have a website with his portfolio ? I’d love to see his work. You can be sure I’ll buy a copy of his book, it’s so beautiful ! Thank you for the links and have a great week !
LOVED the video! Your husband is very talented and amazingly transported me back there in a moment’s time. As always, your photos are spectacular. Hope you have a great week, filled with blessings.
The video and photos are awesome, tell David how much I enjoyed viewing everything. Funny, how we find water mesmerizing to watch and you know what? I found it even more so with the reflections – is it because I’m a pisces? :-)

Hi Georgianna, I just went through all of your Venice posts. It was heaven! Thank you so much for sharing. Love what you did to the canals in your previous post, the pictures I mean, love the editing, the colours, you’re such an artist. Love the video your husband let you share here for us all, and the pictures, especially love the ones with just the reflections in the water, they’re fantastic! Venice is such a unique place I’d really love to visit once, even more now.
Bye,
have a lovely week,
Marian
Wow! The video is just amazing.

Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos and video…I love them !!!
Oh my…both you AND your husband are spectacular photographers. So much talent! Absolutely beautiful photographs…the video is wonderful.
What a creative couple you are. Congratulations to your husband and thank him for letting you share his work with us.
I just adore your images, and your husband’s work is amazing too… what a truly talented pair you are. The reflections and interiors are such a contrast, but perfect for showing this utterly unique city.

Wow G, The video is so compelling. I do agree the reflections are gorgeous. He is a fabulous photographer.
Oh Venice, you both have made it come alive for me again. David’s book must be amazing, if what you’ve shared here is any clue. I know you must be so proud of him. All the best to both of you!
Congratulations to your husband! You are both so very talented! :D
Alas the video is not working for us right now :/ we’ll be back later to try again.
Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. Hugs.
Having been just back from Florence, I am totally touched by these images. Haven’t been to Venice and David’s photos has just convinced me that I should.
I wish you both all the luck with his endeavor!
So amazing water reflections. Stylish! :)

Oh, Venice is such a beautiful place. It is many years since I was last there and whenever I see beautiful images like these I want to rush back!

Dear Georgianna,
Magnificent! the photos of Venice are amazing and how wonderful the book will be.
You and your husband are so very talented and love seeing your amazing photography.
Many thanks for visiting me

Love the video. These images certainly are quite different from yours, and that’s what makes it special, your viewpoints are different. Thanks for sharing. I’ve looked at the 37page book preview at blurb and am very impressed; I particularly love his abstract scenes on the water. I am tempted…. :O) But, please tell David, not everyone is on Facebook (leaving a comment means I have to be on Facebook).
Absolutely stunning video and gorgeous photos! What a talented couple you are!! My eyes are popping out of my head with so much visual beauty. Thank you for the inspiration!
Heavenly!!!! I love Venice and you make the best out of it!!!!
Hi G,
The dust has finally settled after lots of family Thanksgiving fun. I wanted to tell you two how much I enjoyed looking at all your Venice captures in the last posts and David’s video! Wow, spectacular work and an amazing place! Thanks for sharing. Visiting Venice is definitely on my list of places to go :)
Take care,
xo ~ A

Congratulations!
Hi G! I am just catching up on all your wonderful postings of Venice. Truly incredible!!! Yours and David’s images are so beautiful and creative. I hope to visit Italy one day myself. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family, hope your brother is doing OK too. :)
I’ve missed many of your blog posts it seems. This is so exquisite, and of course I love all of the Venice images, and Paris, and London…and anywhere you go!
My Goodness…just so amazing…wonderful shots…incredible…and i can feel so much emotion and passion in these photos…i love them very very much…you must be so proud of him and his project, right? thanks for jump over to us…always so fine to hear from you…and special every single line…to read and smile that it is a wonderful feeling to have contact with you…thanks, my dear friend and hopefully you have a wonderful holiday season…a big hug and kisses over to Seattle…take care… cheers…i…
The photos and video are fabulous! And the music for the intro is perfect – A Little Romance is one of my favorite movies.
Wishing you both a magical Christmas season!
