CROATIA

So I just got back from the XSTATIC'09 festival in Split, Croatia.I can't get over how beautiful this place is. The ruins/architecture, the ocean town, the food and coffee. Everything about this trip was amazing...except the flying. I hate airports and 3 planes there and 4 back with huge layovers and long flying times was miserable, but who am I to complain with a free vacation. Thanks to Pero for hooking up the event. The biggest honor was getting to meet and hangout with so many amazing and legendary writers. Big ups to Ces, Sub, Won, Besok, Can Two, Atom, Wow123, Kent, Loomit, Efas, Mystery, Darco, Smash 137, Jazi, Belin, Robadiga, Morka, and everyone else.

This is the Hotel where we stayed which was built into the old Palace ruins.

This cafe had the best coffee I've ever had.

one of the numerous walkways. Very common down there.


I took these two photos for my buddies Graham and Jason. Bon Apetite!

My favorite dish of the trip, Seafood Risotto.

Sub, Belin, and Robadiga picking their paint.

Belin, Me, Mystery, and Robadiga

Yes folks, Ces can paint circles around you with both hands and his eyes closed...

these kids kept begging for "spray" and eventually would just steal our spray cans when we weren't looking. Most of them were cool though.


better pics to come later, we couldn't flik it properly yet becasue of the scaffolding.

It was an honor to be able to hit these guys up on the wall when we were finished.
that's all for now.
peace.

~ Oliver Herford

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths. Art is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon things beautiful and immortal and ever-changing. To morals belong the lower and less intellectual spheres.
~ Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891

There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!
