TAPESTRY 2005 -








TAPESTRY 2005 - a year very different from 2004. I had thought that the incredible brilliance of my first year in Mostar overshadowed anything that could follow in 2005. I was so wrong. The year began with a snowball fight in a Mostar parking lot - a curious forshadowing for an unusal year. And it was - The pictures from TAPESTRY - beginning with MOSTAR reveal a rich texture of many experiences in many new places that I touched down in - Sweden, Denmark, Budapest, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Belgrade - and of course the forever stunning Adriatic Coast in Istria! Please travel with me to some of these places beginning with MOSTAR ..... and feel the fabric of these images.





Stari Grad in January 2005-my first day back from Christmas break in Canada.  A rare snowfall made everything feel different.

Phil's eye for lighting captures moods and textures of Mostar...






At night the old town picks up a charm and ambience that leave you feeling you are in a fairytale.

It was the summer of 2005 and Phil and Lei joined me for their first adventure in the Balkans.
