Photographer’s Note

J'étais monté en haut du campanile.
Je voulais voir Venise sombrer dans la lagune.
Je voyais tout trop bien, trop clair, trop lumineux.
Le soleil était beau ce matin là et brulait les rétines.
Alors, je l'avais pris de face.
J'avais joué le scintillement de l'eau.
J'avais provoqué l'ombre de San Giorgio Maggiore.
J'avais noirci le tableau.
Je m'étais retrouvé comme une nuit de pleine lune.

****

I was climbed up on top of the bell-tower.
I wanted to see Venice sinking in the lagoon.
I saw too well, too clearly, too luminous.
The sun was beautiful there this morning and burned the retinas.
Then, I had taken it of face.
I had played the flutter of water.
I had caused the shade of San Giorgio Maggiore.
I had blackened the landscape.
I had found myself like one night of full moon.
