Madrid
Hello from Paris! A new day, a new language.
So, it's essentially impossible to capture Madrid on film -- the noise, the sun, the traffic, the people, the scale of the buildings -- unless maybe you have an IMAX camera, which I didn't. I stopped trying after a while, so what I'm showing here barely does this beautiful city justice. I found I did best if I focused on little things OR if I was up really high.

| There is a room reflected in this lightbulb; Patricia and I spent a lot of time in that room, because that is where my interviews took place. Eventually I could no longer resist the urge to take a photo of us in the reflective lightbulb. (Click to enbiggen.) |
