Bauhaus Youth Hostel in Brugge, Belgium

Bauhaus Youth Hotel in Brugge, Belgium

Europe's Famous Hostels

Bruges is a magical little town straight out of the history pages of medieval Europe.  During the day, it's Belgium's most visited city & at night, there's a deep dark mysterious aura surrounding every cobble stone road & town square.  Haven't figured out where all the tourist go at night, because I've only met the locals & they're always 1st on the scene 2 buy me one of their famous Belgian beers.

The Bauhaus Youth Hotel in Bruges, Belgium, which was a remarkably clean & modern hostel, served my 11 Euros a night just right!  They had 2 cool social bars with a full restaurant menu, a very posh Internet Cafe & a wicked Photography Gallery that was currently showcasing the work of Ziyah Gafic (famous World Press photographer) - Sweet-@s, baby!

In late July, I stumbled across this web site that featured a listing of great photographers.  The editor critiqued each web site listed & gave his own personal views about why he chose 2 list that site.  Of course, I found this web site pretty interesting, but what really got my motors running was when I realized that I was actually inside the links page of Photographer: John Beardsworth's web site.

It was a total PHOTOdose of inspiration.  4 the past 3 years, I refused 2 add a links page 2 The PHOTOhype, because I felt an ordinary links page wouldn't work well with the overall structure & layout I was building with The PHOTOhype.  Thus, Photographer: John Beardsworth taught me differently & showed me that it can be done.

Earth From Above photography exhibition

The Crazy Ones.  A poem by: Apple Computers Inc.

Absolutely Brilliant!  Aerial photographer: Yann Arthus-Bertrand of France spent 13 years photographing the world from above & today, his work is creating lasting impressions where ever his 24 hour a day open air photography exhibition lands.

Earth From The Air photography exhibition

I had the pleasure of seeing Earth From Above while it was in Göteborg, Sweden (August, 2003).  120 24x36mm giant size prints made this unforgettable photography exhibition.

It's funny how inspiration can just sit on a wall.  I was in California, wandering around one of those Apple Computer stores, when I stumbled across this poem titled: Here's to the Crazy Ones - it was located behind "The Genius Bar".

Inside this poem, I saw The PHOTOhype Project.  I saw myself, as well as everybody else who built this web site that Alice Keating once called "a complex world of art & emotions".

Stefano, Italian backpacker Corto Maltese

This Italian backpacker named Stefano writes:

Travelling has been a matter of life for me since I was a little boy when Corto Maltese's adventures kidnapped both my mind & fantasy by pushing myself into dreaming of distant horizons.  I love being a citizen of this more & more smaller planet.

I like travelling independently, because I think there's always something new to learn from other cultures & people.  I carry an Italian passport which is probably one of the best passports you can carry, because Italians are welcomed in every corner of the world with an open & genuine smile.  My dream is to leave "home" to reinvent a new & completely different life somewhere else.  I still have to find that place & I hope to discover it one day...
