Digital Diary: 7 Artists. 7 Days. 7 Videos. Photo 64 of 90.

Pants window, Venice.

Although the digital diary was filmed all in Friuli Venezia Giulia, after the filming I had a couple spare days to spend in Venice. So my photo diary extended a bit. It was my first time visiting the ancient city and my impression of the place was truly fantastic. I’ve been traveling for many years now, but this place was simply stunning. From the canals to the architecture, it is truly a unique place in the world.

Second in the Digital Diary of Italy series, a set of seven young video makers from all over the world joined us in Friuli Venezia Giulia to do some serious storytelling.

I was one of those seven.

Over the seven day assignment in Italy, we were force fed prosciutto and drowned in wine daily as we went from the Italian Alps to the Mediterranean Shores. We went kite surfing, horse back riding, caving and cruised through vineyards on vespas (or in my case, a sidecar). I would wake up on a small island and go to bed in an ancient castle. This photo series documents my digital diary of Friuli Venezia-Giulia. The photos accompany this video.

The area is truly beautiful with an amazing population. Please help share the place with your networks by sharing this video.

Mille Grazie!

Many of the statues in northern Italy are dangerous, as demonstrated by Dutch filmmaker Caspar Diederik. Each year, four tourists are eaten by ancient statues.

382 DAYS - 365 PHOTOS - Photo 334, taken September 25, 2011, Shenyang, China.

A couple in matching “Astroboy” sweet shirts strolls through Shenyang’s lavender field, September 25, 2011.

I see couples wearing matching outfits frequently in China. I’m never sure if this is a decision made by both parties or if one party convinces the other that it would be cool to wear matching outfits … but I am happy that I don’t do this.

Why not jump? Its fun, it makes for cool photographs, and given the right timing — you can have some strange effects, as exemplified by Maysha in this photo during sunset in Dubai.

Don’t believe me? Try it. Hard not to smile at the jump shot.

Proof that not just Jewish grandmothers pull cheeks, as displayed by this young man pinching the cheek of a grown man on a motorbike — carrying two more in Sana’a’s ancient alleyways.

In the ancient city of Kathmandu a boy pees outside a holly temple.

While I find the city of Kathmandu truly fascinating, it is also truly gross. The trash problem is only exacerbated but people using the ancient alleys as bathrooms.

375 DAYS - 365 PHOTOS - Photo 184 taken October 26, 2009, Beijing, China.

This was one of those funny surprises coming to Asia. I expected many things, but I didn’t expect children’s pants to come without a read-end.

Even in October, when this photo was taken, children in China frequently have pants that come … for lack of a better word — butless. This helps parents in emergency situations. If your kid needs to go, just hold him up, spread the legs and your kid can take a dump anywhere with no notice and need for clean up/diapers. The effect of this is a lot of children’s poop in public places.

Its about as wonderful as it sounds …

Dan is currently based in Aspen, Colorado. When you take lessons from Dan, its not an ordinary class. Its an experience.

This curious raccoon was watching a boat race one morning on Lake Tahoe. While working for the Tahoe Daily Tribune I had an early assignment to shoot the race. While hundreds of people watched the racers, I turned around and saw one more audience member holding on looking out high above the rest, it was this funny looking guy.
