Making this was a true labor of love. In every sense of the word. Hope you like it! As you can see I am getting maximum use out of the guy working the wheel. This is the 2nd video he’s in. And might not be the last!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!
*sigh* *sigh* ok,so when are we all moving to Venice?
I am sitting here crying. You see, Mary Ann, I am European, born and raised and lived there most of my life and unforeseen circumstances have left us stranded here now. Our children are here also. But I am homesick. So terribly homesick that seeing the video
makes me want to howl. Love it. Please let me know what music you are playing. I am not familiar with this piece and it is hauntingly perfect for the video. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous treasure.
Wistful and Lovely ~ the music so perfect ~ Bravo! xxxj
Wonderful!
sabina the music is by michael hoppe, martin tillman, tim wheater from the album AFTERGLOW. the song is A THOUSAND WHISPERS.
Well, this pretty much seals it for me. Next year, 2014, Italy it is!! Thank you so much MaryAnn for this wonderful trip! At some point will you please post the stores that you went to so I can add them to my itinerary. Hugs!
Just splendid, Mary Ann Spielberg! I, like Sabina am also weepy, will attribute half of this to stunning cinematography and half of this to an unbearable longing to see Italy. I was set to go my senior year in college (hint, Jimmy Carter was president) and had to cancel, am still hoping to reschedule….
Life goes on.
just beautiful
Lovely!
This is a dream. Love it.
Ahhh…the bells, the wheel, the water…truly delightful. Thank you.
Absolutely bewitching – brought tears to my eyes!!
all of the above and more! awesome! haunting! heartfelt! Thanks you so much.
Very beautiful, Mary Ann. Thank you for posting.
What they said. The words to describe how wonderful this video is have not been invented yet.
Girlfriend, you have so many tricks up your sleeve…simply bella. I am feeling a little Felliniesque and want to jump into a fountain and bare my breasts:0
I love, love, love this video also. tears of joy. and my favorite? the grandma with the two different heels, walking arm in arm with her grandson. so.much.love.
You are so gifted with a sense of truly SEEING. All the glint and grit. The arthritic grandmas and belted fashionistas. The weathered wheel and knotted shimmer of ribbon. An extraordinary capture of an ordinary Venetian day.
Aha! Genius idea! I thought I would try a techno free day a week, but this is a much more achievable idea! I SLEEP with my iPad! Very bad!
Finally managed to upload my journal to Vimeo, take a look if you so desire.
Enjoy your self directed days!

What a beautiful video- and the sound track was perfect. A labour of love indeed!! Niki
Absolutely wonderful video. I love your cinematography. Makes me want to travel to Italy!!
Absolutely Amazing! Did anyone else notice the elderly fur-coated lady with the red-coated escort was wearing two different shoes. The heels are definetly two thicknesses. I so love the quirky. Makes me want to have coffee with her…bet she has a story or two to tell!
You captured such a wonderful “feeling” of Venice! The usual travel videos concentrate on the big attractions, and you definitely focused on the small things that make it so MAGICAL! The video quality, the editing, and the music are all perfect!!
MORE, MORE!!! Pleeaassee!
This video was way over the top…the music, too went along so well with the picture of the everyday movement in Venezia. You have captured so much more than my ordinary camera did when I was in Venice for 2 short days! Hopefully, this October I will do better. And after seeing this amazing video, I am more than anxious to return and you can bet I’ll have my Ticket to Venice journal in hand, too!!! Thank you Ms. Moss for all of the extra goodies that come with this class!
thanks for posting the name of the music, perfectly matched to the video. I can’t say enough good stuff about every aspect of this class. You are taking it WAY over the top! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE.
LOVE!!!! L O V E!!!!!! LOVE!!!! what else is there to say. Because of you I now carry Venice in my heart. I’ve loved everyone of your journey’s Mary Ann and I am sure I will love the many more in your future but this Venice experience that you’ve shared has stolen my heart, it’s nestled itself in a very special place. Not a day has gone by that I don’t think of it through your eyes. Imagine the boats on the canals, people just living their lives as they’ve done for centuries in a magnificent place surrounded by water, I imagine the hustle and bustle of the tourists all clamoring to capture a piece of Venice for themselves and then there is you, knowing the importance of slowing down, following the ebb and flow and understanding you don’t have to see it all; that savoring what crosses your path is all that matters and seeing it with your heart and capturing it there. Did you know you have a very powerful camera in your heart; that the pictures it takes resonates with so many of us. That sweet Mary Ann is a gift and you are so lucky to have it. SIGH going to go watch the video again as it’s a great way to move forward into my day.
so lovely!
What a beautiful blend of video that dances to the slow rhythm of the haunting music. If I ever visit that wonderful place I can see I’ll have to find a fur coat in some antique shop. Though I’m not sure I’d ever make it all the way up those steps to cross the canals. I’d better start saving money, so I can pay a handsome gondolier to carry me across. Thanks for this special treat, Mary Ann.
Oh Mary Ann…I am so in love with Venice now! Thank you so much for this wonderful adventure you so graciously shared with us!
Absolutely breathtaking!
So love your video. Evokes a real feel for the place—the mist, the chill in the air, the people and of course the water. Really enjoyed your heartfelt glimpse of Venice. Thank-you.
OMG! Stunning, absolutely stunning! Really, Mary Ann, you have left me speechless on this journey so many times. This vid is over the top! I think your second career may be film making, directing or editing. I can’t say enough!!! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!
Fabulous! Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into life in Venice.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the lady with the mismatched shoes.
I want to be the woman of a significant age, in the fur coat, fabulous hat, leggings and high heels, on the arm of her grandson. I think I will start every day off watching this video. FOREVER!
This is stunning, Mary Ann. I’ll watch it again and again. Thank you so very much!
Goosebumps!! you’re a film maker my dear! xo
well, I had my husband listen to it and he just sat there….so very quietly and I knew he had a lump in his throat and a longing to cross the Atlantic right there and then. Thank you both for the music and your wonderful class.
How do I put what is in my heart? Your film renders Venice, now a few days back in LA, a pearlescent, shimmery dream. A phantom, not quite real, but not quite passed either – it feels as though every drop of water, and every whisper is somehow dancing on the edge of memory. This is your best work yet – haunting, transcendent, you are beyond artist – you have become a poetess of the visual form. Thank God or whoever for Mary Ann Moss.
whoa.
Mesmerizing and beautiful. Obviously another talent of yours! The music you chose was perfect.
Complimenti Marianna! (my Italian father-in-law liked to call me that, even though my name is Anna Maria.)
I’m quite sure you were sent simply to inspire me, because. you. do. xoDonna
Thank you for sharing this with us. It is simply beautiful.

Stupendous images ! Delightful music ,
Thanks a lot!
This was wonderful! I am going to Venice this year – God willing – and this has totally made me anticipate the trip even more! At the end of the video it says January 5, 2012? Is it 2012 or 2013?
I agree with what everyone else said so I’ll keep this short. I’ve got two words for this video…too short!! Thank you.
Mary Ann, you’re a PRO! What an amazing accomplishment!
Lovely. Just lovely. Your taste in music is fabulous as always. I will never travel the same way now, having seen this faraway city through your eyes. You know how to really appreciate where you are. Actually, I am going to try to remember to see my surroundings with the love and appreciation you evidenced here, as often as possible. There is no reason my everyday can’t be this lovely. I live in a wonderful city in a beautiful part of the world afterall. I’m so grateful to have been able to share in your journey in this way.
