The MAXXI. Rome, Italy

Ever since I saw a retrospective of her work at the Guggenheim in New York I have been a fan of Zaha Hadid. One day, I'd love to visit her BMW Central Building. I love how she has the manufacturing line running through the white collar offices, and I love her use of concrete.

When I was in Rome, I was excited to learn that the MAXXI museum had recently opened. It was to be the first Hadid building I was to visit, and it did not disappoint. I loved the interiors and the ways in which her twisted stairways moved through the interior space. The galleries themselves were open and airy and I spent much of the time admiring the building more than the art inside, shooting photos inside and out. I can't wait to visit more of her work.

This is an outtake from a series of photos documenting a trip from Rome to Istanbul.

Hi Eugene. I just looked through your Rome-to-Istanbul photos, as well as your series from Uzbekistan. They're fantastic, and I'm now following your blog. Just wanted you to know, I've posted a couple of your photos at my tumblelog, giving credit and a link back to you, of course. Thanks for sharing the photos from your travels, and again, terrific work!

Hello Eugene!

This photo is wonderful. I like the women walking in the photo she looks like the clothes she’s wearing were designed by the same person who deisgned the building, or that she’s walking down a runway. I wanted to tell you about our awesome gadget that is for photographers of every level. :) The Hufa Holder lens cap clip was designed by photographers after they had, like many other photographers do, lost a TON of lens caps. The nifty little device just clips right on your strap and keeps your cap in place while you're shooting! Turns out, we lose a whole lot less lens caps this way! :) This also works no matter what camera you are using. Here is a video for you to check it out http://bit.ly/Nu7FPx. Thanks again for sharing this amazing photo! Hope you'll check out our gadget when you get a chance.

Have a great day,
Alix
