Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

wonderful, memory-keeping pictures. so good to see S8'ers connecting and connecting in such happy ways.

who was taking the pictures? they are very good.

Free as a bird!!!! Thank you for the pics!!!! So nice when I can see S8ers getting together to make the connection!!!! It brings it all the more closer to me and everyone else too!!!!

yes! véronica waved, and came to laugh and hug and touch my hair (it makes me easily recognizable anywhere, which is an advantage most of the time ), and then she talked spanish to me, and i tried some english, and then we mixed it all up and it didn't even matter because ah! who needs language in such a moment??
and later on, she pronounced my name and the name of my town in the most stunningly perfect way, and it must be she had been there with me in an earlier life....

ah, and the bag for doreen - of course! we walked by it, saw it and both shouted simultaneously "this is doreen's bag!!!"
here it is (whatcha think, dor?):


and we walked down so many streets that we kept having déja-vus about maybe having already been there or probably not, and found that coins were only achivable with the help of chewing gum, and that trees were so manifold and each of them having its own personality, and that the buenos aires cicadas sound different than our black forest crickets, yet equally loud, and véronica kept taking pictures of me while i was eating and looking edaciously voracious (haven't seen those yet!), and together with my friend christine (who speaks spanish, and who took those pics that show v and me together), we gracefully blended three languages, and the city seemed so very familiar to me and it was probably all because of véronica's great laughter and presence (hey, and about the shoes in the trees, véronica - both of your theories may be right! i searched a little - look here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/gangs/sneakers.asp and http://www.shoefiti.com/index.php?s=somehow !)


christine and véronica having breakfast


véronica in the dangling shoe café sometime in the afternoon (i think - we were so timeless most of the time!!)

yeah! it was beautifully timeless most of the time!!!!!

interesting links about the sneakers, anemone! I didn´t knew about all the meanings mentioned!!!!! Add also this one: http://files.nireblog.com/blogs3/quepas ... nti_02.jpg

and gracias for the photo with Christine!!!!! she was also a great translator!!!!!

and now panta eating an alfajor santafesino from Rosario (she was brave!!), eating icecream despite the wind, writing (my favourite one!!), saying no more ...pleaaaseee!!!!! and laughing and smoking!!

very funky, charming photos.
really intimate invitation to sit right down and enjoy.
(oh, who's jealous, what, me jealous?)

thank you so much for posting these, arcadia dear and panta.
Panta writing! a wonderful capture!

ha! those are great! (i don't look hoggishly gluttonous, no??)

judih, oh yes... you were definitely missing!!
(and see the hummus leftovers on verónica's plate?)

i like the writing picture, too. especially since i've got the appropriate vis-à-vis:



also arcadia was successfully eating ice cream against the wind as well:

great shots!

love them all!

(cool bag, too .. thanks for thinking of me)

What fun you had! lucky you! looks so comfortable and pleasant

And ahhh ... to be anywhere where you can where short sleeves in february ..... sigh.... again, lucky you!

Whoa... Panta y Arcadia. I almost missed this globetrotting sensation. Splendiferous! Very colorful, beautiful, literary, and... fun! Cool. Thanks for these great moments.

judih!: I have the feeling you´ll meet again soon!!!!!!

doreen: great that you liked the bag!!!!!! and the fact that we thought in you!!!!!!!!

(And to tell the truth: Christine was the only one of us that ate the icreacream like a lady despite the wind!!!!!! )

I loved Anemone´s idea of sending postcards to some of you, paradoxically (or not!) , the moment when we wrote them was the more emotive-rich and complex (or not!) of all the ones both of us shared together ... and hey! panta ... I wrote with the eyes closed???!!! (gracias!!). (I didn´t send the four postcards yet, we are still looking for three addresses ! )

mnazz: globetrotting! yeah! I like that word!!!!!!

yeah, verónica - you wrote with eyes closed or shaded to keep the emotive flow and liquid laughter from flowing onto the writings....



rich moments they were, for sure!! and beautifully intense...

....but whatcha mean we two weren't like ladies? you mean because of the hair in our mouths and the ice cream in our décolleté ??

(and are we looking for three adresses? i thought two??? let's email... i'm still searching!)

mark, thanks. it was a grand tiny piece of mind- and city-space globetrotting indeed....

doreen! glad you like the bag!
we acquired it for you visually, sort of....

well..., let´s tell the truth... ...we ate icecream more like kids than like ladies!!!!!!!!! I liked it!!!!!!!!

two?.. mmm...yeah... (I´m still looking to an envelope!!!!!!) I´ll e-mail you about it tomorrow!!!!

yeah... you were a great mirror... (I´m both a llorona and a big-mouth laughter!!!!!! )

speaking of mirrors:



i like how we're both having the almost exact posture here!!

(only your glass is full, and mine is empty...)

the two together.... it's a banner!

heh

dor:

looks like yin and yang in a funny way - same, but different. different, but same... (and there's also the sideways eight in it again - seems i can see it everywhere these days!!)

yeah, i forgot to remark about the eights you mentioned

too cool!

yin yang.. yeah!
