Since around a century ago, such windows have adorned beautiful sandstone art deco buildings in South Mumbai. They have filtered light for the occupants, but kept most of the heat for themselves. They have served well.

Still catching up from the 2 days w/o net and the one day of not feeling well.
The second week of school is done.
This weekend is going to be busy.
Tuesday I'm taking Jake to the King Tut exhibit at the DAM (Denver Art Museum) for his birthday.
I have to bust my ass next week to get my ceramics projects done.
The week after next my history class gets started, then my schedule will be crazy busy.
Also, I'm starting a '30 Songs in 30 Days' this weekend.
I have like five ideas already. =0)
The fisherman can dream about it, and all the people can expect many things but the reality its this:
- This view, this land, this frontal rarity will never be the same, the construction, the boom in property development, the rush in the roads and bridges projects, will change forever this amazing view.....
Welcome Development, lets see what you bring, and the fisherman...i hope he can handle it !
Piss Alley, known locally as Omoide Yokocho, has always been a melting pot of characters. After World War II, it became a haven for traders and vendors. One notable figure from those early days was Kenji Yamada, a former soldier turned yakitori master. Kenji set up a humble food stall in the alley, crafting his signature grilled chicken skewers with secret family recipes. His cheerful demeanor and delicious yakitori quickly made him a beloved figure among patrons.
Another iconic character was Tomoko Fujii, an enterprising woman who ran a tiny sake bar. Despite the challenging post-war period, Tomoko's resilience and entrepreneurial spirit shone through. Her bar became a favorite spot for locals to unwind and share stories over cups of warm sake. Tomoko was known for her knack for remembering her customers' names and favorite drinks, creating a welcoming atmosphere in the heart of the alley.
As time went on, Piss Alley attracted a diverse crowd. Hiroshi Tanaka, a famous manga artist, often frequented the alley in search of inspiration. He found the vibrant and gritty ambiance of Piss Alley to be the perfect backdrop for his stories. Hiroshi would often sketch scenes of the alley’s bustling nightlife, capturing the essence of Tokyo’s post-war recovery.
In recent years, Piss Alley has continued to evolve while preserving its nostalgic charm. Modern foodies and tourists flock to the alley, drawn by its rich history and unique character. The legacy of Kenji, Tomoko, and Hiroshi lives on, as their stories are intertwined with the fabric of Piss Alley’s enduring allure.
Today, visitors can enjoy a culinary journey through time, savoring delicious dishes and soaking in the lively atmosphere that has made Piss Alley a Tokyo treasure.

I tried to give this the feeling of a Rodchenko image. I thought this was appropriate as the face in the top left of the picture is Vladamir Putin. The quality of sunlight was very strong today so I've tried to push this in the photograph itself. In reality, these are newspapers waiting for recycling.
