The desire to photograph Carnival in Venice, has been a dream of mine for many years. My wife, daughter, and countless friends made that dream come true this year. Not only did we go to carnival, we were able to participate.

To do this, Sue Ann, my wife, set out to create an original costume in the traditional style of carnival.

Enjoy with me now, the beauty, the excitement,
and the celebration that is the
Grand Carnival 2000 Venice, Italy.

After months of planning and design, she spent approximately 150 hours, sewing over 30 yards of material and 60 feet of beads and other accessories. To complete the costume, we went to mask artist Larry Wood of Kensington, MD to have him create an original leather mask to fit the design. And finally, to add a more grandiose appearance,we designed 12" platform shoes giving her a total height of 7 feet 8 inches. Costume complete, we're off to Italy.
