Watch The Sky
These pictures comes from the roof of the Catedral de la Almudena. The figures look out over the city, and I managed to catch the sun behind some of them.

The Lay of the Land
the LIFESTYLE has been low key for a few weeks and we hope everyone has had a great start to the new year! We are continuing to strive to be a place for dialogue and thoughts of Reflection and Response. Our weekly schedule has changed a bit so here’s the breakdown for the LIFESTYLE moving forward:
Mondays: Original work from Peter and Vicken
Thursdays: Snapshots from the Collective
Fridays: Fridays will alternate each week between Talk of the Town (Discussion Questions from the Collective) and our continuing Feature series of collective members and their work.
Meanwhile, on the Twitter we will be continuing Peter’s Saturday Flows From Madrid (SFFM) as well as throwing up thoughts, articles, and quotes that connect with Reflection and Response. We will also be shouting out RR Artists of the Week, linking to influential craftspeople whose work inspires us.
With the new elements of Snapshots from the Collective and Talk of the Town we will be looking forward to email submissions from Collective members. Snapshots consists of photographs that people want to get out there and share. Talk of the Town consists of Discussion Questions focusing on any topics interesting to any viewer that feels like it can spark dialogue. Photographs and questions should be sent to the LIFESTYLE’s email at: the.lifestyle.rr@gmail.com. One photo will be posted each week and a question will be posted every two weeks, with dialogue following up in the comments sections. Come one come all!!
the LIFESTYLE’s power lies in its collective; a communal place whose axiom of Reflection and Response drives creativity, collaboration, and dialogue.

Recollections, Part 5
Part 5: The Outro
The final installment in this series is a photo from Vall de Boi, a town in northern Spain…
The narrowness of this street is wild. It’s an interesting use of the space, from an architectural standpoint, especially for a small town in the mountains.. What’s really intriguing to me about this is the way people have appropriated the space – with various versions of suspended “gardens” on balconies. A mean #ReflectionandResponse on #ReflectionandResponse, in a way… The architecture was built off of interpretations of the space, and the suspended gardens are interpretations of those interpretations, if you digg me on that! The connections and levels of RR run deep!!
Once again, the Recollections series was a creative LIFESTYLEbrooklyn shoutout to my brother P holdin down the LIFESTYLEmadrid big time!

Part 3.
This photo is from Mallorca, an island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain..
The one green shutter on tilt-mode disturbs the basic color scheme and the strict, Tetris-grid-like architecture of the building.

Barcelona: From Romans to B-Boys
Barcelona. November 20th, 2011. Roman wall next to the Catedral de Barcelona. A group of young men are breakdancing in the square in front of the church. Next to the church is a Roman wall that dates from the first few centuries AD. Time flies and it is remarkable how much culture has passed through this spot.
I also wanted to take a picture from the perspective of the spectators. I think public street performance is framed by the populace enjoying the show. Perhaps this second picture invokes a more complete idea of what the scene was: A combination of public performance and audience.
