Felix da Silva is one of our neighbours. He and his partner live two houses away with their three cats. Felix is a well-known fashion photographer, and he came over one evening to show us some of his work and tell some "war stories". Since I have little interest in the world of fashion and the associated photography, I let Felix talk to my wife while I snapped some images: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9.jpg Alla is a second cousin of mine. We were quite close as children (we are exactly the same age) but had lost contact in recent years. Alla was born and grew up in Odessa in the then Soviet Union (now Ukraine), and she and her family emigrated to Israel during the 1980s. She is an opera singer and now lives in Houston with her husband, who also sings opera. We had not seen each other for 27 years, until she stopped by last week--she had been visiting her father in Israel and was on her way home, with a 4-hour stopover in Amsterdam. I met her at the airport and we went into the city. She is most certainly not a cold-weather person: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9alt1.jpg And now some winter images from around here. My cat checking out what is happening outside, from his favourite position: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9alt2.jpg A canal near my house: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9alt3.jpg Frozen weeds: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9alt4.jpg And finally my poor motorcycle, which I had left uncovered, thinking I would be riding it to work now that we were in March and spring was coming: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_9alt5.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2005.html and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
