This new year transition has given me the opportunity to take a few pictures, the by-products of visiting friends. Here are more glass objects from the same window sill I photographed in an earlier post. It's always interesting how the passing of a few months and different light transforms everything. And then there are portraits of two of my favorite Basque people. On the right is Johnny Curutchet, the only living American-born berstolari, and on the left is Agna Iriartborde, who has kept Basque culture alive in the San Francisco bay area for decades.
