“…I travel on your black and white roboted roads
Through your thick iron breath that you inhale
At six in the morning and exhale from five noon…”I often think about this as I commute. Inhale, exhale…inhale,…Read More

Appreciate it.




The dreaminess of this photo makes me think of all the stories. The sameness yet uniqueness of every building is very much in contrast to modern matchbox developments with their carbon copy apartments. Something very romantichistoricalmythical in this photo, almost like 1001 Arabian Nights. This picture is serious but it also makes me think of…Read More
