10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: The thing with juxtaposing the modern and the, uh, not modern, is that it somehow seems to cheapen both of them, which is why the pyramid just doesn't work for me. For more thoughts check out The Houses We Live In.

10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Victory... Unfortunately I jiggled the camera. Still seems that people like it. I guess it looks okay if you stick to the smaller sizes. If you're the type that likes to make your eyeballs bleed reading on the internet, you might enjoy the writing that goes with the images in this set, it's called, The Houses We Live In. Because let's face it I suck at titles.

10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Raphael.. Le Grande Saint Michel.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: This one reminds me of Henry Darger. If anyone can tell the name/artist here, leave it in the comments -- I'd appreciate it.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Eerily modern in both style and depiction. This painting dates from the 14th century.
10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: It's hard to take clear images in the Louvre with guards hovering around all the time. And it's not like I'm using a flash, no paintings were harmed in the taking of these images.

10/29/05 Paris Hostel // Paris // France: Cooler than my fireplace mantel.

eye in a tree Luxagraf is an experiment in travel writing — highly subjective, non-linear and a bit more random than most travel writing, but hopefully you'll like that. If not, there are plenty of glossy magazines out there to satisfy you.

I didn't start out to be a travel writer, I was writing and happened to do some traveling. The results are what you see here. Along the way I've discovered that travel writing is one of the only honest forms of non-fiction. That's what luxagraf is about — the unvarnished, sometimes ugly, truth of travel, told by someone just like you.

For smaller, snack-size stuff, not necessarily about travel, head over to the new snacks section where I record my travels around the web.
