Impossible to dig in Athens without hitting something. It all seems to have been buried alive.

Some of the results of days of dusting some film. The flowers were from an evening in Ioannina on the lake and the buildings which were actively crumbling and being rebuilt were in Monemvasia. A sun setting and a sun rising on two very different places.

15th century Greek manuscript that includes a curse: whoever touches or steals his manuscript should get a rotten hand. Even includes a drawn example of what their rotting arm would look like.

Finally getting around to dusting and editing some negatives from 2024. Here's one of my favorites from Corinth.

I can finally start editing some film from this summer. This fella’ was running along rooftops in Monemvasia.

Love these little maps, drawings, doodles, etc. that Calvino would make for his stories.

Photo of me in Amorgos by my husband. ❤️

It's been dreary in Athens this week, so I'm happy to revisit this photo of a poppy field in the Turkish countryside. I have this little point-and-shoot camera that I think many people don't take seriously, but I sincerely love the painterly quality of its resolution.

A church in the Chora on Serifos. Going through photos always reminds me that it's always worth it to force myself to get up early. Mornings are reserved almost exclusively for my husband, me, and the local cats, because everyone sleeps in.

Flipping through an old sketchbook. One of my favorite plaster casts to work from.

Paintings wrapped in bubble on the wall at the Capitoline Museum. Through plastic, the images all became something else entirely. Remarkably soft. Shades of brown were turned purple in the reflective surface of the paintings' new covers.

At the end of a very long and ancient walk between Delphi and the port town of Kirra. We walked all day through the olive groves and reached Kirra at sunset.

Villa Doria Pamphili, which is inside the largest landscaped park in Rome. I love this 17th century villa, not just for its labyrinthian hedges, but because it (sort of) shares a name with our cat, Midori. The area was known as "beautiful breath," because of its topographical height.

The interior of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere. It's one of the oldest churches in the city, but one of the best parts of the building is the facade covered in fragments from the ancient basilica. The room in the photo is off-limits, but you could see its sky.
