She asked me if I could pick her some flowers….because I am tall. She asked me to pick 8……I picked 9. She smiled, I smiled. She speaks Spanish, I don’t. We are both human, and for a moment we shared life together. We laughed, and off she went with her 8 purple bougainvillea flowers. This is Life. Cuetzalan, Mexico

Standing in front of this cathedral now: Built from 1530 to 1768. 238 years! Nearly the same time USA has been a country! And……it was finished before the USA signed the Declaration of independence. Think about that. Hand made, no machines or USA needed.

I still can’t get over the The Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Museum of Anthropology) in Mexico City - I went to this Museum last week…..as an architect, as a visitor to this great Country, and as a pupil of Life. This museum (even without any of the artifacts inside) is a History lesson of Mexico in “Pure Form”, and inspired me to no end. I made this video of the “Feeling” it bestowed upon me, and I played some music to it………that’s enough for now…..”The Feeling”. I am still wandering my way through my pictures and memories, and I intend to make a detailed post of this amazing piece of architecture. It deserves it. Mexico should be proud to have such a wondrous history, and the architects and architecture to hold that history in place.

The musings of a 56 year old Man, alone on a motorcycle, in the remotest parts of the Himalayas, and has a camera for the first time in years. You can do things…. Dreams.

Sun rising, and Nepal goes into the garden for breakfast……even in the city! Most people I know in Nepal grow their own food, and ALWAYS have. It is simply part of life……to grow and forage your food. Natural.

Crossing a Street in Kathmandu - Don’t Die Here’s an early morning, not too much traffic, street crossing in Kathmandu. No street lights, no cross walks, no lines in the road……..just flow. “Rule of Hierarchy”: the Biggest thing has the right of way”. Trucks over cars, cars over motorcycles, etc etc. Humans?……are the last in line. Rule of thumb…..keep moving with the flow, don’t stop.

I planted this tree for my friend 20 years ago….Look at it NOW. My friend in Pokhara saved up enough money to buy some land 22 years ago. I helped him design the place, and when it was finished ….I planted a tree as a blessing. (which I do a lot, my whole life). Now…..that tree is big. That’s how it’s done, simple action. “A small deed is better than a great thought.”

The New Puebla….or is it Sacramento?….or in India?…..or…. It could be ANYWHERE I travel the world, and it’s starting to ALL LOOK THE SAME. Bad architecture, cheap materials, and parking lots. Even in a place like Puebla, which has 500 years of precedent.

The Cities of Nepal are still……….…. Villages. The People of the villages in Nepal are moving into the city, and the cities have become “large villages”. -Pokhara, Nepal

Mornings in Puebla - This is my street. Stones. These streets were designed and made………before cars were even a dream. Imagine that. These streets were not made for cars. Boom! Context.
