I wrote my senior college thesis on architect Tadao Ando. Today, at long last, I finally got to stand in one of his buildings Chichu Art Museum on Naoshima Island of the coast of Japan. And it was exactly as miraculous as I had imagined. #tadaoando (at Chichu Art Museum)

More than twenty-five years since I climbed Mt. Fuji with @jenifer.ruby and a half dozen other amazing students studying abroad @kansaigaidaiuniversity. It was a grueling and miraculous and halfway insane day (and part of a night) that probably changed the course of my life.
