Sometimes\u2014yes, sometimes\u2014you get lucky. A tourist noticed me trying to take a picture of this writing on a building wall in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the spur of the moment, she joined in and, of her own accord, made the appropriate gesture. Since she spoke English (American), I\u2019ll probably never see her again. Still: \u201eA heartfelt thank you.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ambitious photographers and models, the day starts very early. It kicks off at 6 a.m. The first photographers are already waiting impatiently for the models at that hour.

Twenty photographers also means 40 elbows\u201440 sharp elbows. So you\u2019ve got to be able to take a thing or two if you want to take good\u2014or even great\u2014pictures. Pictured here is the \u201cGerman\u201d masked performer. Manu Miedl.<\/a> Find out here how a mask photographer experiences a day at Carnival:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
