We got our first assignment yesterday too and I went out to start shooting for it. We each got a slip of paper with a vaparetto stop that we need to go to and investigate. Images are due on Wednesday and big group critique is Friday with both classes combined. My stop is Ca' Rezzonico. Sadly, the main building to see at that stop is under renovation but it's more about investigating the neighborhood and reporting back so that we all learn about different areas in Venice. We had dinner just over the Ponte Accademia last night, pizza duh. I stumbled across a fruit vendor yesterday thank goodness and bought strawberries (fragoli). I'm going back to this supermercado I found yesterday called Punto in the Santa Margherita area to buy snack bars, fruit, and veggies.
I'm really excited because we are going to have dinner at all of the Profs' apartments while we're here. Tomorrow night I go with my photo 1 class to Holly's apt, next week we go to A-ray's (Andrea Raynor), and then we go all together the third week to Andrea G's for cocktails! Pics aren't posting for some reason right now...maybe later.

I'm going to be that person that comments way to much on everything. Regarding a previous post (it's almost 3 here in portland, can't sleep even though my body thinks its 6am, and so i decided to read from when you first posted to the present so i'm only up to this so far) it's really cool that venice is really eco-friendly. Do you know how the electricity thing is set up? It's so smart, i really want to somehow set that up for my house, I'm constantly forgetting to turn lights off.
ReplyDeleteAlso good job on the exploring. I'm sure you've memorized all the maps and such. And with a 2 hour lunch break...that's friken brilliant!
