hi kees, good to hear from you! So the mysterious swimming pool…I hope you and the clients still like the project. I am jobbing for Michael Maltzan (MoMA Queens). And I am moving soon, to Hollywood (yessssssss, I made it!!!), changing my 1hr commute to a 10min bike ride. So is LA. I feel close…

The day before the manager of the apartment I preferred called that my application was accepted – just after I signed a lease for another one. Why didn’t he call a day before?? Now I have to figure out how to resolve this within two weeks. There is no question of preferences. I don’t think…

I went downtown to pick up my bike I left there the night before. Walking on the sidewalk you can spot a group of people focused on something, as if they were all looking at a storefront window of a shop. It’s blocks away so you can’t recognize exactly what’s going on. If you don’t…

I don’t know exactly what Memorial Day stands for. I think it is in memory of all the soldiers killed in wars. At least it’s…

My (almost) all mechanical old fashioned Nikon F3 fails to advance the film properly. Facing major service charges I am in consideration of buying a replacement. But whatever you think about cameras these days: As with anything else you end up digital. I really love this F3, it is exactly doing what it should do…

‚It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.‘ Upton Sinclair It is really impressing how Al Gore tries to popularize the issue of global warming. And if I am looking at the present government: what an outstanding chance was wasted in November 2001. Who…

MULGREW MILLER – piano IVAN TAYLOR – bass RODNEY GREEN – dr There was one song reminding what jazz is, I think it was called ‘one’s own room’. He is a rather quiet piano player, very focused, concentrated, reserved, out of the spectacle, the music itself more traditional jazz, but with the details doing something…
