a sunday school teacher at the office said i should bring her some leather-bound relics from rome ... with louis vuitton written all over 'em


those australian barmaids again


bring me my bow of burning gold


a bold promise


night must fall


inside the pantheon


outside the pantheon


water water everywhere


are they baths or coffins ?




Santa Maria della Vittoria


























of course, a real gentleman would instinctively understand how to operate this


fifth century mosaics high up in santa maria maggiore




in the gallery beneath the dome of saint peter's, just before the ascent to the cupola





the messengers




manzu's doors ... just about everything else in saint peter's seems to be presented as some sort of monument to the vanity of the popes
