sweat-free digital images

san' ivo alla sapienza; borromini; very slick; "plasticity" + crazy plan and section
















papal key bonanza. free shots of holy water at the vatican if you show your tourist i.d.















from inside the palazzo massimo. not many people have the opportunity to take this picture or sketch some really bad diagrams of it. also captivating was a moment of primal carnage between a cat and two pigeons. i think the increase in pigeon references recently indicates the growing degree of overload/burnout here. anyways, there are sweet rectangular openings that cut right through the sweet poche of the loggia's barrel vault. sweet.








speaking of poche, these steps are in the wall of san carlo alla quattro fontane, leading down to some sort of recently renovated secret crypt not making an appearance in angel's and demons (which i read in three days here).











this is my favorite spigot in rome: the head of the wolf. located at the campidoglio. delicious. best in rome.















the forum. view from the campidoglio. a must see vista.












a wedding. this photo is either abstract and awesome, or ill-timed and dumb.














spolia church, mentioned in previous blog entry. spolia = old found marble junk.










i forget which bridge this is, but imagine those sunglasses on colleen. hysterical.











pretty picture from the river towards st. peter's. at dusk.











santa Cooooh stanza (seinfeld episode, george's catch phrase name...)















captions are wrapping up here.
















we ate here.






















colleen is alive, well, and chatty. and very pretty.





















look it up. hint: borromini.


















this dog has a mohawk. colleen wanted to a.) steal it, or b.) throw it in the trevi fountain.
