Doors Of Prague
Communication is architecture
I’m taking pictures of doors. They are very cool, and way more ornate than average doors have any right to be. It almost frustrates me, because I stop at these cool doors and think “No Fair! Why can’t *WE* have cool doors like this in Portland?!” … and then I realize that these doors are in themselves probably older then Portland. Justin thinks otherwise: he thinks that the doorways are probably older that Portland, but the doors themselves have probably since been replaced. He may be right, but it’s still unfair… stupid doors..

TV Tower & Jewish Cemeteries
television for the soul
We went to the TV Tower observation deck (with creepy weird child-art things on the side of the tower) and from there we saw the small cemetery next to it. The cemetery at the base of the TV Tower is not the “Old Jewish Cemetery,” but we went to that one too. Over 50,000 people buried in the Old Jewish Cemetery, many on top on one another (thus the stacked headstones), and most of them died in 1942-44.

Kutna Hora & The Ossuary
the hip bone’s connected to the thigh bone…

What do you do after a huge plague has wiped out too many people to bury? You use their bones for decoration in your churches!

Peggy & Justin’s Reception Photos
(will be back up soon)
On April 23rd, 2003, Peggy and Justin got married!
At a small ceremony at the Multnomah County Courthouse, we added a formal commitment to our already strong relationship of five and a half years and got married. We realized on our two year anniversary of dating that we were going to stay together and we exchanged rings, simple as they are, and minus the social titles, have always been as sure of our relationship as any married couple, if not more. The technicallity of being married never meant much to us and is why we had such a small ceremony involving the six most important people: the two of us and the four who brought us into this world. We are very aware, however, that it is not just having each other which has made our lives so exciting, supportive, and fulfilling, but all of our family and friends who have been there fore us. The fact that we just got married gives us a perfect opportunity to throw a party for all of you who have added to our lives and to say thank you.
