Made a stop at my parents for the weekend before I head off to Paris. My mom asked my why I wanted to study monasteries then promptly handed me four books all marked out with research on solitude.
I fly out for a two month study in Paris in one week. Classes all week about French architectural history and meetings on independent study. Somehow I have to make a syllabus today and figure out how to read 6 books speedily.

Herzog de Meuron - Dominus Winery, Yountville CA 1998. Three tiers of gabions hold rocks in varying sizes, creating a somewhat abstract classical hierarchy of scale while providing a thermal skin that combats the region’s extreme temperatures. Photos (C) Margherita Spiluttini.
As odd as it sounds, I have felt in the last month that Milwaukee is where God wants me. I have no clue if it is just for this period in my life, school, or if it will mean the indefinite future. I am ok with this. I have come to strongly believe that there is something about this city that has captured me through the friends I have gained and the time spent wandering its streets.
Traveling to France for two months… To take my DSLR along or JUST my tlr? These are the choices I have to make. I will be sketching a large amount and also planned on some photos from my iPhone.

the ‘outside-in’ garden by architects meir lobaton corona and ulli heckmann, is conceived as a visual paradox for the 22nd international garden festival of chaumont sur loire, france - a device that enhances conditions in order to make the audience realize how by relying only on sight, they rely on imagination.
the intervention provides a sense of how vision can become a shield that precludes the possibility of having a holistic experience of life - one that involves the entire body and that extends beyond it.
Shopping for the Paris trip. Now where are the deglow fanny packs….
