Above: our apartment on Via dei Coronari; my photographic mission was to capture as many Madonnas as possible, which was quite the task considering they adorn almost every building; naturally I made a pilgrimage to my favorite Caravaggios; Below: dinner at our favorite spot near the Pantheon; the life-size Nativity at the Vatican on Christmas Eve...nice, but I want a job upgrading it for next year...I'm thinking live animals!  And would it kill them to put in a song and dance number?

DECEMBER 2005 and again SEPTEMBER 2006: Amarillo, Texas to see the new Globe News Center for the Performing Arts designed by Michael Connolly and Malcolm Holzman of Holzman Moss Architects in New York City.  (For more info and photos go to:  http://www.amarillo.com/globenewscenter/ .  There's also a wonderful video tour of the building led by Mike!)

MARCH 2005: We were off to Rome, Italy, to begin collecting photos, film footage and research for a new multi-media theatrical production based on the life of 17th century Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio.

DECEMBER 2004: I shot lots of film footage in Venice, Italy during my stay there at Christmas (perhaps to be used in our future play about Caravaggio since some scholars believe that Caravaggio may have fled to Venice while on the run from the law after killing a man.  It is here that he may have become acquainted with the work of Giorgione, a painter he greatly admired and could only have seen in Venice.)  (Right: one of the spectacular views from my palazzo's window.  Heaven on earth.

ABOVE: Left: There aren't many tourists during Christmas, so the water is remarkably still; Right: we stroll our neighborhood on our first night in town and enjoy the decorations.)
