I don’t know where he was going. Across San Marco, hands in his pockets, eyes on the paving stones, he passed through a scene that others had stopped to admire. Behind him, the arches slowly disappeared into the fog. The pigeons had their own business to attend to. There is something about Venice in this weather that keeps drawing me back. Even in its most photographed square, a single passing figure can make everything feel personal. A Leica in my hands, one foot briefly above the wet stones, and a stranger whose story continues somewhere beyond the frame. #leica #venice #monochrome #marcosecchi #photography

From Substack to Instagram The new Photography category on @substack has helped me discover more photographers, and quite a few of us have now found each other here on Instagram too. Thanks to all Substack friends who replied to my post and shared their Instagram accounts. It’s been a pleasure connecting here too and seeing more of the photographs behind the conversations. I’m sharing their accounts below so you can discover their work, too. Take a little time to visit them; you might find someone whose way of seeing speaks to you. And if I’ve missed you, please say hello in the comments. I’d be happy to find you here too. PLEASE Share it! @emanueledellostrologo @pjmimages @kierandodds @adrianohenney @laurinovakphoto @sdptravelfineart @marielouphotography @_soniadaneluzzi @david_zumpe_photography @oliviavandyke @jeffersongraham @y.nishiguchi @yameyamey @naked.prose @aidanaveryphoto @dina_litovsky @robstephoto @ginapottenger @flakphoto and @msecchi #PhotographyCommunity #Substack #SubstackPhotography #PhotographersOnInstagram #DiscoverPhotographers #ThroughTheLens

Even someone who loves black and white has to surrender to colour occasionally. Venice at Carnival makes a fairly convincing argument, especially when the light catches those fabrics, and the lagoon becomes part of the backdrop. There is such pleasure in wandering here with a camera, finding an angle and watching a photograph come together. It's a pleasure I always enjoy sharing with those who join me for a workshop. Perhaps next time we’ll be standing here together. #VeniceCarnival #Venice #Leica #CarnevaleDiVenezia #PhotographyWorkshops #MarcoSecchi

Only in Hungary! 🇭🇺❤️ A quick trip to the OTP Bank ATM, dressed in a pink dressing gown, pyjama trousers and slippers. Walking stick in one hand, serious banking business on the agenda. Why waste time getting dressed when all you need is a little cash? OTP Bank. Banking so convenient, you don't even have to get out of your pyjamas. 😂 #Hungary #StreetPhotography #EverydayLife #OnlyInHungary #OTPBank

Two pigeons perch on a wooden barrel beside a weighing scale and weights at the entrance to a wine bar in the Dorsoduro district in Venice, Italy. A handwritten sign reading "DRINKS 2 GO" advertises takeaway drinks.
