NOT IN LOVE - END OF AN AGE
My friend Anna Adamo suggested this song to look at a new beautiful book I just got. It seems perfect for the pictures. The book is End of an Age by Paul Graham.

MESOPOTAMIA - FRANCO BATTIATO
Franco Battiato is one of my favorite artists. I really love this song for the beautiful text and sound. I also feel very connected to it because he names Ettore Majorana, my relative that misteriously disappeared in 1938..."

TAKING ZIRA TO THE VET
It has been a crazy week. Zira fell of the balcony from about the height of a fifth floor. She is finally back home and safe. She's been fighting hard for her life.
In the meanwhile I'm reading a nice book by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb (Aperture).
