Everywhere I go I see faces. Venice is full of delightful faces, here are some of my favorites.
The 2 above are on the front of the theatre in Venice.
I got 3 for the price of 1 here.
A gold face near Rialto bridge.
His eyebrows are bit chipped, but I like him anyway.
I hope the subjects who posed for this looked better in real life.
An early peace sign.
He was keeping watch over a vineyard on Torcello along with the next one, whose “hair” I quite liked.

I love faces…it’s funny, but I was expecting real people. I particularly liked the one of the Madonna, but hate those nasty pigeons….I know they are part of St. Mark’s square, but they absolutely ruin everything. Despite that, I loved the photo. Toni

I have done a series of faces in various places. Sometimes there are people. I am not always comfortable taking photos of people.

Great faces, Deb. The door knob (assuming that’s what it is) is amazing. I also enjoyed the dove on the head of the Madonna.
Hugs,
Kathy

The door knob is lovely. I have seen similar in Rome.

The cat and mouse was quite a surprise at the end and made me smile. The pigeon looks extremely comfortable on top of the Madonna’s head!

I love the cat and mouse poster! IL Gatto! From top to bottom, it’s a beautiful post. The pigeon action is great, too! Cheers, Theadora

Loved this post, especially the cat poster and the door handle. I was expecting real people, too, but this was more interesting!

Sometimes I take photos of people, but I find it difficult to approach people. There are also posts on faces in other cities.

Love all the photos and the poster of the cat!….my challenge now, is that I try to translate everything including that wonderful poster…..and then learn a new vocab. list.!! Must be some kind of new addiction…in any case my Italian teacher will be pleased. 🙂

I loved the cat too. I need to work on my vocabulary. I will be back in Italy and I will have 4 months to practise.

Four months would be great!…I am looking forward to one week study in Florence in August…wish like anything it could be longer!…still better than not at all 🙂

Thank you. I use a Canon G12 and I love it. I haven’t got past point and shoot yet and I don’t use photoshop, because I don’t know how.

Wow Debra..really like this collection of faces – and what a great concept. They’re all so old…yet still so beautiful.

Love these themed posts Deb. I love the Madonna and bambino. They remind me of modern day refugees.

Great pics, Debra. Just as usual. You really spoil us!!! I love the Madonna and bambino, the one with the pigeon (and I do love pigeons… I must be one of the few people who do!!!!). There is a lady in Bagni di Lucca who could have been the model for that statue. Her face is almost identical.
And I also love the San Marco lion. Almost human!!!!

I actually like pigeons too. To those who don’t, I suggest they take a look at their war record.

I love that all the faces are a bit different! It’s not like there’s a standard mould they use…thanks Deb!

I love your detail with faces, Deb, and wonder if some of those resemble Venetian dignitaries or rogues? – was thinking about the face on the winged lion – wonder whether the artist possessed a sense of humour? Love that perpetual pigeon on top of a carving or statue. Why not enjoy a pretty perch?

I loved the “faces” – it’s funny how I see them all the time but don’t really notice them! Thanks for pointing out all their character! Next time, I will certainly pay more attention to them! What a great idea to make this a focus of your photos!

I love the details wherever I go. I could spend days wandering around taking photos of these things.

Some really interesting features. I’m sure some of them would turn out great as prints.
