Photo by @williamalbertallard // Venice, Italy, 1969

My first visit to Italy was for @ナショナルジオグラフィック magazine in 1969 to make photographs of Venice. On the day of the Regata on the Grand Canal I had arranged to be allowed to photograph from the window of an apartment overlooking the bend in the Canal. I used a special wide angle camera I owned briefly to make the image. It was called a Zeiss Hologon Ultra Wide with a fixed 15mm lens. I’d received the camera earlier that year as part of winning the White House Photographer of the Year Award. I was a member of the White House Photographers Association although I never worked in the White House. The image of the regata I made has always reminded me of a miniature painting with great detail that reflects a more ancient era. The camera I used was stolen later that year by two kids zipping by on a motor scooter as I walked along a roadside somewhere in South Vietnam. I was disappointed to have it stolen but I can’t say I really missed it. I’ve never been a wide angle kind of photographer.
