Rongorongo


Rongorongo is the glyph based writing system used by the ancient Rapa Nui inhabitants of Easter Island. To date the writing system is yet to be deciphered, although it is heavily documented. Rongorongo appears to be a boustrophedon, a type of writing script that is bi-directional. Rather than being read left to right, or right to left, lines of Rongorongo alternate. No other native writing system developed in Polynesia, which makes the case of Rongorongo, not to mention the other mysteries of Easter Island, all the more intriguing.

Fielded, "Another Time"


A new video courtesy of the fabulous Powell sisters, this is Lindsay's solo project, and Alexis directed it. Who knew suburban New Jersey provided so many haunted locales?

Merida


Merida is the capital of the Yucatan province, Mexico. One of the first Spanish cities in Mexico, the cathedral in the central town square is the oldest in North America. Through a series of bizarre circumstances, my friends and I were routed through Merida in an attempt to get us back home over the weekend. Sometimes the tyranny of airline shutdowns has pleasing results for the curious traveler. I was so happy to be able to spend just one night in this beautiful town, although sadly I didn't have time to take any pictures.
