June.29.2009 German-born photographer Fritz Henle
A link to more about Fritz Henle on the NY Times The Moment Blog (probably my favorite place to go on the web these days).
16.05.2009 Things Found In A Bag
Recently, I've had to go through things left behind by various deceased (R.I.P) and these are some things that I found in a bag.
March.17.2009 Grateful Dead
In 1995 I sneaked into the Grateful Dead show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. A few months later Jerry died.
Feb.21.2009 Was I really there?
As time marches on, the significance of the photographs that I've taken over the years increases. They are the proof that I was there.
Feb.5.2009 Backing up
If you are a regular visitor to the blog, you'll have noticed that I'm not updating as much. It is due to a new job and a decrease in time (and the fact that I must attend to various other blogs).
Here's an image for you all the same.

December.16.2008 I'm going to Pennsylvania
I'm going to be in the U.S. for the next couple of weeks after an extended period of time away I'm not quite sure how it will be. There's a new president and congress didn't approve money for failed car companies, so things are all dire in the U.S. I'm going to try and post pictures from the U.S. during my time there. A homecoming diary of sorts. Stay tuned.
December.13.2008 I think I get the message
Sometimes I complain that in Mexico road signage is poor, but this image from Central Pennsylvania goes a bit far in the opposite direction.
December.11.2008 Looking North From the Top of Warmington Tower, Goldsmiths College, London
This was taken from atop the Warmington Tower on the Campus of Goldsmiths College, University of London. It looks north and you can see East London and the New Cross Sainsbury's!
December.10.2008 Nature takes precedence over architecture
In Japan it is common to find trees that are hundreds of years old and that have been shaped by generations of caretakers. This gives these 'natural sculptures' a significance that trumps the building of a house. It is one of the joys of living in a city when one comes across an instance such as this.
November.19.2008 México vs. Honduras
Let's hope Mexico can 'inflate' themselves enough to beat the Hondurans and go on to World Cup Glory.
November.14.2008 Yayoi Kusama, Tadao Ando & Art on Naoshima Island
(Click on the highlighted words for links to more information)
Shown above is an artwork by Yayoi Kusama on Naoshima Island. For art lovers this island is a must. Located in Southern Japan, it became an art destination through the desires of a weathly industrialist who needed an museum for his extensive art collection. So you do what anyone else would do and call up the famous architect, Tadao Ando to build a museum for you.
You can stay in the hotel, which has been built into the musuem or you can stay in Mongolian inspired 'yurts'. You can imagine which one is more expensive. In the end, you can see art all over the island and it is really quite relaxing and worth the journey.
November.13.2008 Examples of Dutch Architecture in Almere, Groningen, & Rotterdam
Here are some examples of Dutch Architecture. The first image is a bicycle parking station in the middle of Rotterdam. The second photo is from Groningen (I think). The last two are from the recent development of Almere, near Amsterdam. As you can see, there are similar characteristics in all the photos, water, flatness and allusions to the principles of modernism.
November.11.2008 Making Connections Through Photography
Circuito Interior at 18.30., A Sleeping Bag in Golden Gate Park, A Neighbors Wall, & an Urban Still Life.
