Carnival photography

I've always liked Carnival as a manifestation of colors and joy, laughing and being crazily happy is way better than being rich and tense. Life is good.

Covering for a few years the two most famous Carnivals, Venice and Rio de Janeiro, made me really aware of it.

I show here a small selection of all those images I took, but you can find a lot more in the VENICE CARNIVAL

... and RIO DE JANEIRO CARNIVAL websites. Enjoy!
