russell and i stood atop that regal iceberg in Stortorget, and delivered jewels of information about stockholm’s old city to our faithful student subjects down below. it was a mildly intense feeling, giving a presentation about a place that we had modeled in detail and labored over for a week in studio – and now [...]

spain escape
friday = best flight ever day.
lamb + goat cheese sandwiches, red wine, and chocolate creme cookies. thank you KLM.
we emerged from the danky depths of the metro (‘renfre’) and slowly rose to the level of Passeig de Gracia. a breathtaking [and slightly wobbly, due to airplane wine] vision of wide, tree-lined avenue warmth! [...]

jutland jaunts

hello copenhagen!
