Nascar – Phoenix International Raceway
I came across some lost photographs I took at a Nascar race last year at the Phoenix International Raceway. I have no idea who won the race, as we could only bear half the laps. In addition to cars, here are a few things I saw.
Update: We couldn’t even bear half the laps, Ryan Newman won and the guy in overalls tried to beat up DZ
Austin Travel
Just returned from a quick weekend trip to Austin, a warm respite from the enduring lengths of a Chicago winter, a great wedding, cappuccino at Juan Pelota Cafe at Mellow Johnny’s and back to back lunches at Stubbs BarBQ. Live music starts before morning coffee. Here are a few snaps around town.
Yugoslavian War Memorials – Spomeniks
‘During the 1960s and 70s, thousands of monuments commemorating the Second World War – called ‘Spomeniks’ – were built throughout the former Yugoslavia; striking monumental sculptures, with an angular geometry echoing the shapes of flowers, crystals, and macro-views of viruses or DNA. In the 1980s the Spomeniks still attracted millions of visitors from the Eastern bloc; today they are largely neglected and unknown, their symbolism lost and unwanted. Antwerp-based photographer Jan Kempenaers travelled the Balkans photographing these eerie objects, presented in this book as a powerful typological series. The beauty and mystery of the isolated, crumbling Spomeniks informs Kempenaer’s enquiry into memory, found beauty, and whether former monuments can function as pure sculpture.’
Caribbean Travel
Our scheduled Thailand Trip quickly became a trip to the Caribbean after the record snowstorm closed the airport for a few days, forcing us to change plans. From Puerto Rico we visited St. Maartin, Tortola, St. Thomas, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitt, and Barbados. Gladly we now have a fully planned Thailand trip ready to go when we get a few extra weeks.
Northeast Travel
We recently spent a few days traveling through the Northeast. From Manchester, NH; one night in York Harbor, Maine at the York Harbor Inn then driving up Highway 1 to Bar Harbor, just outside Acadia National Park. We spent a day hiking in Acadia NP, returning to Manchester the next day and heading to Baltimore.
