here shown reflected in Tony's way-too-cool ray bans.... decent portrait of him too, if he beats me up for posting it, i'll take it down... going into the church was an experience, we had been teased with the exterior twice already, an elaborate disguised dome with an unusual spiral leading up to the summit. the interior drew eyes upward more effectively then any other church i'd been in, an unusually geometry and proportion helped, and the brilliance of the white plaster, personally overseen by Borromini, and shown unfortunately flat in the last picture. hmm just deliciously engaging, personable, grandiose in the best possible way... and for some reason open for only 3 hours a week, i'm glad we took the effort to get there. Randy got to impart some appreciated philosophy to the two of us, and a few more sites he had found important as a student and teacher in Rome - he really did feel a lot more certain there.
