Pix and places



India photo first: I have so many, I'm just going to keep inserting them. This is me with Kim's friend Deepa Shah, during our outing to the fascinating Chandni Chowk bazaar in Delhi. I have my Flip camera, the better to film Kim, who was in the rickshaw behind us. Deepa was a great guide! She negotiated the rickshaw fares, took us in to the Sikh temple and found a hole in the wall snack shop for us to grab a delicious bite in. As we ate, I asked her for the name of the place. She looked around, shrugged and said (with a laugh) "I don't know, but it's in all the guidebooks." All I can say is, as you enter Chandni Chowk from the Red Fort, it's not too far in, and on your left. Good luck!


Onward


I work with creative people and we like to share links to cool sites. Most, if not all, are design oriented and I hope to become more adept at finding well written and edited sites. Here is a compilation of design, writing and quirkiness (in no particular order, except the first one, Mysterion, which I just came across today, is most definitely quirky).  Maggie Taylor is awesome! And the Ron Morgan site is truly elegant.





And here are two Amy sites: Fabric artist Amy Butler and photographer Amy Parrish. AB is in Granville, Ohio (beautiful home of Denison University) and AP is not too far away, about 30? miles to the west in Columbus, (home of my alma mater, The Ohio State University). 



Finally, this is the What is Blik site, where you can buy neat, fun, elegant, playful and cheesy decals for the walls in your home. Cheaper than painting! And, speaking as someone whose dining room has been a mess for months because I've taken on a painting project that I only get back too  intermittently: FASTER!
