This week in photos

Spent most of the week in front of a computer screen screen and behind the camera.

Out of scale

I went to this house today.

Book project

I'm working (during my free time - ha) with an english carpenter friend on his M.A. dissertation.  He wants to document and comment on chairs used and made by the majority of Nicaraguans.  We went driving through the barrios in Managua last Sunday taking photos of the chairs and people we spotted from our truck windows.  Here are a few shots.

Happy belated año

Pyrotechnic Amsterdam.

Royalty

I enjoyed thinking about three hundred years ago and how the thousands who visited the old palace today would never have stepped foot in certain places (i.e. the kings bedroom) then.  I wasn't impressed by the scale, or the oldness, or the art work.  Walking through the halls I looked more at cracks in the walls, and variations in the hand formed glass panes, and the way people experience the palace today.

French street

Family touring.

Paris apart

The Paris home base.  Enough said.
