Laundry Day in Venice -- from the 'Elegant Decay' series - Jim Dawson Photography
If you've traveled through Europe and found the need to wash your clothes you'll find that washers and dryers (often a combo) is small. Midget small. You'd be lucky to wash a couple of pairs of jeans and a shirt or two. For that reason, Venetians hang their clothes outside along clotheslines. The clotheslines often cross over the canals which leads me to wonder how they managed to string the lines. Also, it seems Wednesdays seem to be a favourite day provided its sunny to hang out the laundry.

Giorno di Bucato / Laundry Day in Venice

From $249.00

Where modernity presses up against the walls of antiquity, everything is more fascinating and romantic—even laundry.

Clotheslines zigzag above the Venetian canals. Sheets cling to them like football banners from the girders at a stadium.

Bricks once faced with white Marmorino plaster or stone from Istria now resemble crumbled graham crackers on the top of a crumble pie.

Testimonials

Christine Duncan - Photographer

James’ use of light and composition goes beyond the rudimentary “rules,” but are used artistically and intentionally. He doesn’t feel the need to over-process, letting his work in the camera shine through. James uses space and balance in interesting ways, allowing the scenes room to have impact, and the way he frames up a scene never leaves one wondering what the point or subject is.

The way James captures his images really brings out the beauty in his subjects and landscapes. The colours and sharpness of his photographs make me see the world differently. James has a great skill of turning natural landscapes into beautiful art and capturing the uniqueness of the world. EmilyHuttonFineArt.com and @Thesigniturefinearts
