Month: January 2005

My mother in some town near Rome. These pictures were taken by my father in 1962. Maybe they’re boring for accidental visitors to look at.  

Pantheon. I take pictures here every time I visit . 

Pantheon 

Colloseum from the south. The hill to the right is basically a 5-story deep roman ruin. Underground is the remains of a portion of Nero’s palace, and above is a park full of the ruins […]

View of the Capitoline from the Via Sacra in the forum- you can see the Vitorriano and Curia (on the right) that are featured in several of my 2003 Lomo shots.  

Shot by my dad in ’62- see last week’s posts for my shot of the forum from approximately the same place in ’03.  

No reason to include this shot of the Vitorriano except that I also posted my own screwy-looking Lomo shots of it.  

Oxcart! 

View out the hotel window. I think all these buildings retain the original 1890’s lead-flake based paint, because this is exactly how the city looked on our first visit in ’98.  

God damn paparazzi took this. Or perhaps our Watsonville Patio-pal Greg Windell. I forget. This is the kind of “rock and roll” lifestyle we have here. Booze, broads and what-have-you. That’s McKinley violating my girlfriend. […]

Saxophonist Tim Willcox. 

Saul Cline hanging at the Blue Monk. Lomo. Saul was the bandleader on the Queen for a couple of years, and is one third of Lower Monumental.
