terlitsi and plants
"There is always a need for terlitsi! Or how about a plant, you need some plants for your balcony... And then we will find you a man!"
reflecting and filtering
foil and lace.. . . . . . . .
tumbling balconies on a thumb
"I released it from the crane and it fell, knocking off every balcony on its way down."
photosynthesis
"Pff a lot of good that does me! Do they think I can just go out there and photosynthesize?!"
panel code
Under all the original layers and before its covered anew, look quickly. It's just beyond the bristles of the brush.
vines that bind
Come fall,
Wine making is in the basement.
the beautifying campaign
"bez kozmetika, Baba kakvo pravi!?"
without the cosmetic things, what's a Baba to do!?
balcony to basement
pipe works of new kitchens on balconies.
balcony breach
the company of the first floor balconies.. . . . . . . .
messenger pigeons
"It's nothing, we can talk from here, I'll just yell for you."
glass boxes
for some reason, usually rarely inhabited.. . . . . . . .
shades of grey
"You got here at the worst time"
concentrated corners
. . . . . . . .
checking on the neighbors
“susedite mozhe da gledat si rabotata!”
the neighbors can mind their own business!. . . . . . . .
doggy in the window
“Nobody really owned dogs during communism… now there are these massive dogs in these tiny apartments..”. . . . . . . .
bird cages
the latest in ornate security.. . . . . . . .
muffin tops
"It's like putting on a shirt that's way too small...."
balcony spout
symphony playing over the nuclear bomb test sirens, neighbors with buckets of water, and a synchronized arcs of water from the balconies above.
pushing out and glassed in.
pushing the space out, yet the connection to the outside gets further and further.. . . . . . . .
frames, apertures, and filters
The blocks of Trakiya were designed for maximum sunlight.
True to modernist form, the windows are large, the balconies beyond them reaching out to pull in more sun.
The inhabitants . . . . . . . .
kolio’s balcony
Every morning Kolio comes to his balcony, parts the fresh white lace curtains, and swings just one of the panels of his glass enclosure inwards. From there, he leans out and lights a cigarette....
loggias v. balconies
Some have innies and some have outties.. . . . . . . .
glowing balconies
Stepping onto the balcony is a particularly conscious action...
fog ships
In the fog though, it suddenly feels like stepping onto a ship setting out on a lonely journey off into my own world.
reflections
'Mom, when will we glass in our balcony? All the other kids have glassed in balconies!'
the entry council
The lace looks forward. The brick turns a shoulder, slyly stepping its own entry down to the ground out back.
a clean bulgaria
neighbors with different views.
seasons
'A box in the world theater' - Walter Benjamin
If you need me, I'll be here, watching the world theater unfold.
clear
so I cleaned my windows.....
and then I cleaned the second layer of windows that glasses in the entire height of the balcony.
spilling balconies
"Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,"
