Bach Bubble Chair

Perhaps the most humorous shot of the summer so far. This is the museum adjoining Bach’s birthplace of all places.

This was the first night of nine weeks in Europe. A beautiful welcome.

Alicante in Holga

Before the trip my brother Aaron recommended I pick up a Holga camera. After getting my shots back from this summer, I am very thankful for that suggestion.

The Holga was first made in 1982 in Hong Kong. Although it is cheaply made (you can get some models for 27 bucks) it gives unique and beautiful results with an aesthetic all its own.

Here are three shots from Alicante, a beautiful city on the Southwest coast of Spain. I didn’t see these images for 3 months after I took them, but for me, it was worth the wait.

Construccion Vacia

or “Empty Construction” located in San Sebastian, Spain. This sculpture was done by Jorge Oteiza who died in San Sebastian (and presumably lived at least part of his life there). He was also a writer who wrote an important essay about the history and aesthetics of Basque art.
