Maria Galatsianos

I found out yesterday evening that my beloved yiayia (grandmother) Maria passed away. She was 86. I was named after her.

It has been really therapeutic for my mother to go through photo albums and scan photographs of yiayia. Mom took this one of her mother in 1980 in the kitchen of her old house in York, Pennsylvania.

Hooray! Frontpaged on UniversalHub again!

Yet another one of my photos made it to the UniversalHub frontpage!

I was walking around the Back Bay area on Sunday night and just happened to have my camera with me. I’ve always wondered about this castle.Was this an old armory? My google-fu fails me here. Does anyone know the story behind this structure?And yes, admittedly, this is a rather sub-par photograph.

And yes, also admittedly, I’m not updating this blog NEARLY as much as I should. I’m taking a hard look at where my content is (isn’t) going, and I’m trying to figure out what makes the most sense to concentrate on here. Cardinal Rule #1 of Blogging is to keep content fresh, and I’m breaking this one left and right. It’s been nearly a month! Ai yi yi. Sorry for the silence on my part.
