Photo Archive #7. Sant'Ignazio
I've got so many photos from Italy that I haven't looked at since I took them.
This is the ceiling of Sant'Ignazio di Loyola (Saint Ignatious Loyola), a Church in Rome.
A dome was planned but was never built (I think they lacked sufficient funding). So, being creative, they hired an artist, Andrea Pozzo, who painted a fake perspective of the ( Read more... ) -
Little Thoughts
A broken watch is right twice a day but a fast or slow watch is never right. But is a broken watch preferable to a fast one?
The opposite of connecting is to divide. But a line can do both.
A fence encloses and excludes. However, a fence is just a circle which is just a connected line.

Bagpipes and birthdays.
I always thought this song was a bit cliche. Until I heard it on bagpipes, that is ( Read more... ) -
Photo Archive #6. Hidden in the Clouds
What I love so much about my house is the view. Not only do I get awesome sunsets year round, you can also see the mountainous region that is Marin across the bay.
It's very foggy here, but sometimes you can just make out the shapes of the mountains through the fog and clouds.
Lacking a decent zoom lense when I took this, I zoomed in as much as I ( Read more... ) -
Stray
I wandered home from Ben's at almost 4am this morning. There was this white dog nosing around Marin. I first thought it was a wolf until I saw it had a collar. It was clear that its owner was not around ( Read more... ) -

Rain makes me think of...
I could just sit here smelling the rain all night. I love that smell. They say smell evokes the strongest memories.
Earth and wetness.
Moss and forests.
Hawai'i weather, hot and wet.
Yosemite and camping and redwoods.
It smells like massive rivers running down the streets of Manarola, only five minutes after it started raining. Getting soaked but ( Read more... ) -

Photo Archive #5. Arm of the Crane
Man, this brings back some memories.
Needing a theme for my photo project I chose paper cranes as I was going through some sort of crane phase. I was making several each day for no discernible reason (maybe I wanted a wish to come true).
Anyhow, I asked Kevin to holdout his arm for this shot. I don't think it's very interesting and I didn't ( Read more... ) -
Stupid research paper...
Why is there so little written about heroism? I feel like I have to dig through all this useless stuff in books to find anything about real heroic actions. It makes me regret choosing heroism for my paper topic but I don't think I can really change it at this point (It's allowed but not practical ( Read more... )
