The stained glass in the Chapel are gorgeous. In the large windows, top register depicts the Old Testament and then the bottom shows their fulfillment in the New Testament. The details are from smaller, eye-level windows. I will try and provide some additional commentary or identification at a later date. […]

A relatively sunny December afternoon and few visitors made for a bright and open chapel. You may use these images freely, but must attribute: ©Christian MM Brady, http://photoblog/targuman.org
I was on Tybee Island, GA this past weekend and captured a few sunrise photos. I did not have a tripod so this was all handheld, but the results are not bad.
When in Rome…we visited perhaps the most interesting monument to me, a scholar of ancient Judaism. The Arch of Titus was built in 82 CE by Domitian after the death of his older brother, Titus. It commemorates Titus’ victories, particularly the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 70 CE, depicted […]
Florence, “Firenze” in Italian (I only point that out because I had no idea), is a beautiful, busy, and crowded city. Taking good pictures of the buildings would require a tilt-shift lens, but I was fascinated by the people taking selfies. I am not going to criticize them, I don’t […]
This gentleman sits in his little shop writing and illuminating texts. Many of which are in Hebrew, from the Bible and other texts. (I saw one quote from Pirkei Avot.) This day, he was working on a text and image for a Bar Mitzvah. The artist’s name is Even Caredio […]
Yesterday there were massive rains on the mountain. I am told that it even dislodged boulders that rolled into the streets causing massive damage to cars and the roadway. I took another two more hikes after the rain, last evening and again this morning. Here are few shots, particularly of […]

This weekend was the fourth running of the US Grand Prix in Austin, TX. I joined two close friends for an incredible weekend. Wet, but incredible. We sat through a torrential downpour for the UT game, they beat K State fairly convincingly (if you ignore the second and third quarters) […]
There are a wide variety of doors and doorhandles in Freiburg. Consider this the beginning of a series.
When we stay in Freiburg we walk into town at least once a day, just to stretch our legs and pick up some groceries. (These little fridges make US-size shopping impossible!) Today I took my D810 and 50mm 1.8.
We travelled up to the small island of Föhr, off the northwest coast of Germany in the Nordsee and part of the North Frisian Islands. It is a beautiful little island, only 32 square miles, with a residential population of 8,000.
