One of my favorite subjects is women. Today I have to post a couple of photos from Feli, who also loved to be photographed. I think we  had good chemistry doing the shoots, and she and her husband are really nice people. I was really lucky to meet them while they were in Boston.

Tonight I'm going to this 'new' party. Something has to be new in you. A new friend, a new thing you wear, a new thing you do. Cool right? Me and a couple others were invited by strangers to this. We'll be the new people! The one thing required though is positive vibes. I'll bring what I have.

November is almost gone! Seattle is back to normal, that is, cloudy and not so cold. The snow is gone, and some sun shines here and there. Today I got to see beautiful tiny white-black-brown cute birds in my backyard from the window of my room. Simple pleasures in life.

Here are photos from Budapest and Bratislava in April 2008. I loved Budapest and its thermal baths and great food, and beautiful people. Next time I go there, I won't go alone, since I think it's even a better place when you go with friends. Bratislava was exotic. It had all this communism remnants I just loved, in the trains, clothing, and city landscape.

Girls on a long red couch. This was a Sunday in the fall of 2008 in Cambridge, MA. I don't know why the had a very long red leather couch on Church St. Everyone was really happy about that. The girls I was photographing were taking photos themselves. The girl with the gray sweater is beautiful out of the ordinary. I think this series of photos portraits well Cambridge. You can see the bikers, the couples, the older and younger, the calm, and its interestingness.

Yesterday it snowed a lot in Seattle. It is beautiful. However, it gets problematic if you want to move around the city. There are very few buses working. Walking will get you around your neighborhood though. In mine, children, dogs, and adults were enjoying the snow and the sun during the day. Kids and dogs were really exited. I wished I had a dog, or children, or that I was one of them.

Following on the black and white series, I'm bringing back photos from February 14 2003 in NYC. It was a festive protest against the invasion of Iraq. It was cold, and mostly young people showed up. It felt so good to be surrounded by people that also thought invading another country was non-sense. I was there with my good friend Marie. Good memories.

Today the Huskies football team won! Pretty cool. I start to feel some of the excitement football fans share... and have been particularly happy today. I don't know why! Maybe it's the new apartment, maybe I'm figuring out myself??? It doesn't matter. I like it.

I'm moving into an apartment all for myself soon! I'm thrilled about it. It will be the first time. I know I was really lucky to have spent all the time I did in Cambridge. Here are photos of Harvard in the fall of 2009. A building and a tree. Shiny bikes. A student!

I'm looking for a new apartment closer to the action: downtown Seattle. I'm also working on a proposal about savannas. And have been fascinated by the connections between soil and climate, they are much more connected than I had imagined.

Today I want to post bike photos from last fall. Enjoy! I miss Cambridge when I see them. Ah, nostalgia. Last night though, I went to see the Waterbaby Bagatelles at the PNB and they were amazing... beautiful. I feel transported to a magical world when I see these dancers move the way they do, with the music, light, costumes, and so much life and perfection of their own. I'm also living beatiful times here.

We are eating oil! Our food is produced with oil-derived energy that is needed to create fertilizers, transport stuff to the field and out of the field, plowing, harvesting, and then cooking it. When we run out of oil, we'll also run out of food... But I don't think that will happen any time soon. I hope! I like food.

Today I want to post some images I got from the trip with my parents to Vancouver. I love my parents very much. I was very happy traveling with them.
