A visit to the Castelnovo
di Sotto Carnival which takes place in the three weeks before Lent is always
good fun and is also interesting to photograph.
This is a typical Italian
carnival, far more typical than the Venice carnival. Huge carnival floats are
towed around the centre of this small town each one blaring deafening music of
the worst kind. It is all very raucous.

One has to watch
out as lots of paper confetti gets thrown from the floats and it is impossible
to remove. I still find bits of it in my camera bag after two years.

This year I wanted
to do something different with my photographs to try and emphasise the bright
colours of the floats.

Best to avoid getting the "bath" though.
