While roaming around Venice in 2009, we found one of the top Masque manufacturers and shops in the city, Tragicomica. This is a cornucopia of artistry applied to carnival masques. Sometimes its easy to get overwhelmed by choice in subjects to shoot!

These are beautiful works of art that I cannot do justice to. I’ve tried to show some of the skill and beauty of these pieces, but no mater what I do, these images are still lacking.

More to come.
