Photography, I get all my desktops from that! It's a big
gothic cathedral right now... viva la architecture!

in studio!!

hahahaha I remember those days without sleeping before
finishing the projects...the radio was my only partner...
and those days in which you have time to play more than 100
cds while drawing... nice times though...I liked this topic,
I have copied and pasted it in my pc

.....omg, really, we called it arquitortura, which
translates exactly into architorture....i remember one time
me and a friend, for a final stayed up for 3 days(and
nights) in a row, sleeping in shifts of 15 minutes every
four hours.....by the end of the third day i could hardly
speak......

as Nacmat said, it´s awesome to findout the similarities in
such different places such as spain, u.s. and my little
country.

; )

love the smell and taste....mmmmmm*

18. ...you've used an entire role of film to photograph the
sidewalk. **omg....i know this sounds too silly to be true
but it's sadly true....my developing bills were enormose*

24. ...you take notes and messages with a rapidograph and
color markers. **ohh my rapid-e-o's....i remember how
precious mine were*
27. ...you've got more photographs of buildings than of
actual people. *still MAJORLY TRUE to this day...i love
photographing decayed or buildings that are falling down
especially*

30. ..you can live without human contact, food or daylight,
but if you can't print it's chaos. *ehhehe....sometimes if i
saw a human i screamed....LEAVE ME ALONE*

33. ...You refer to great architects (dead or alive) by
their first

*AHAHHA....yes, but only ze company of OTHER architects,

planet*

yep, i used to get the feeling that people looked at me like
a freak that wasted my time drawing, taking pictures and
building models, but once they get to know your actual work
they´re like ..."ohhh,,i like zees, how on earth did you do
that.." i like the look on their faces at that little
moment, i feel appreciated and usefull. And by the time i
started working ze repect is back for ze
wee_one!...hehehehhe

anyway, i´m probably mumbling.....i´m going to bed now.
hope you have a goodnight sleep little witch
*zee wee_boy goes happy to bed ´cause he shared nice
memories with ze witch*

*(wonders where all ze war days have gone.......prolly
better ally forces with ze wicked one.)*

nanight you.
