Why
This "skirt" is actually a pretty awesome pencil dress. Although I wore it as a dress to work, I decided to add my ruffle sleeved top and studded belt to make this outfit a little more interesting. Today I also went shopping in my mom's jewelry box again- hence all the pretty vintage rings.

The Basilica Cistern (Turkish: Yerebatan Sarayi - "Sunken Palace", or Yerebatan Sarnici - "Sunken Cistern"), is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople), Turkey. The cistern, located 500 feet (150 m) southwest of the Hagia Sophia on the historical peninsula of Sarayburnu, was built in the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
Ancient texts indicated that the basilica contained gardens, surrounded by a colonnade and facing the Hagia Sophia. According to ancient historians, Emperor Constantine built a structure that was later rebuilt and enlarged by Emperor Justinian after the Nika riots of 532, which devastated the city.
Historical texts claim that 7,000 slaves were involved in the construction of the cistern.
The enlarged cistern provided a water filtration system for the Great Palace of Constantinople and other buildings on the First Hill, and continued to provide water to the Topkapi Palace after the Ottoman conquest in 1453 and into modern times.
This cathedral-size cistern is an underground chamber approximately 138 metres (453 ft) by 64.6 metres (212 ft) - about 9,800 square metres (105,000 sq ft) in area - capable of holding 80,000 cubic metres (2,800,000 cu ft) of water. The ceiling is supported by a forest of 336 marble columns, each 9 metres (30 ft) high, arranged in 12 rows of 28 columns each spaced 4.9 metres (16 ft) apart. The capitals of the columns are mainly Ionic and Corinthian styles, with the exception of a few Doric style with no engravings. One of the columns is engraved with raised pictures of a Hen's Eye, slanted braches, and tears. This column resembles the columns of the Triumphal Arch of Theodosius I from the 4th century (AD 379-395), erected in the 'Forum Tauri' Square. Ancient texts suggest that the tears on the column pay tribute to the hundreds of slaves who died during the construction of the Basilica Cistern. The majority of the columns in the cistern appear to have been recycled from the ruins of older buildings (a process called 'spoliation'), likely brought to Constantinople from various parts of the empire, together with those that were used in the construction of Hagia Sophia. They are carved and engraved out of various types of marble and granite.

Day 6 Oct 6th
"I will realize my own worth when i accept...the story I tell is the story i live.
...It seems as if you have been trying to convince others and yourself that something or someone other than you is responsible for all that you 'have' and 'have not' done to move yourself beyond this predicament.NO ONE IS CONVINCED BY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!obviously,neither are you!Perhaps that's why you keep telling that sad story,the sob story, the tickytacky dramatized version of your life. Enough!
As a matter of fact, your story sounds more like one big,fat excuse than a resonable explanation.
Today i am devoted to talking the time to re-write my story!"

Having retreated to a safe distance we see the fire brigade dampen down 08348.
Despite railway history being full of courageous acts of traincrews pulling vehicles away from adjacent blazing vehicles and despite a shed full of men and locos, no one bothered !!

Difícilmente te das cuenta de lo que ocurre a tu alrededor cuando vas andando por la calle. Basta con quedarte parado unos minutos en cualquier esquina y mirar a la gente que pasa para entender lo que sucede.
Si además estás en la plaza de la Luna entonces el número de cosas que están sucediendo se multiplica por 10.

You hardly realize what is happening around you when you walk down the street. Just a few minutes just standing on any street and watch people going to understand what happens.
If you're also on the Plaza de la Luna then the number of things that are happening is multiplied by 10.
Frank goes through the square on their way to La Latina. It is Sunday and have to go for a beer
"Do not take off the headphones, please."

Through a friend's (firepavedskies) suggestion, I went to the Melody Inn last night in Indianapolis to see The Winter Sounds from Athens, GA. When I arrived at the venue I looked around for someone to possibly approach for the project but no one really jumped out at me until I saw Mario emerge with his guitar from behind his singer during their set's opening song. It was the t-shirt that got my attention. Add politics and music and I'm sold.
After their impressive set was complete and they finished packing their gear into their van I approached Mario outside of the venue. We had a brief conversation about the show and my affinity for his t-shirt and then I told him about the project. I wasn't nervous at all until we started taking some shots. I'm still pretty unfamiliar with my new camera especially when it comes to low light situations and was a bit reluctant to be creative. We took a couple shots outside and then Mike the bouncer/soundguy told us about the lounge area in the back. I'm so glad that Mike was there to direct us back there.
Mario, it was really cool to meet you and thank you so much for participating in my project. Next time I hope I can take you up on the offer to photograph your band. I hope you all enjoyed your visit and hope you have a safe trip to Chattanooga.
I would highly recommend checking out Mario's band, The Winter Sounds. I particularly liked their songs "Trophy Wife" and "Poor Sailors" and those songs can be sampled on their MySpace page. Also, I hope I got this right, they will have a new album out in a month or so called Church of the Haunted South.
Brandy, thanks. She discovered them when they shared a bill with her husband's band, Waltz for Venus.
