Alash, a Tuvan throat singing ensemble, was in Pittsburgh on Sunday, December 7th, for a concert at YourInnerVagabond, the hip, global coffeehouse and lounge in Lawrenceville, PA. The Alash quartet has collaborated with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones on their Grammy nominated album, Jingle all the way. Give that album a listen for a new twist on popular holiday tunes. (Imagine a Tuvan throat singing version of Jingle Bells !)
The concert was a fantastic experience. Alash rocked the house with folk songs from Tuva. The venue was perfect, and the audience enjoyed every bit of the concert. Here are some photographs from the concert:

I was in New York last weekend, and visited the Empire State Observatory. I was returning to the Empire State Observatory after almost 9 years. My last visit was in the fall of 1999. I had taken a number of photographs from the observatory, and one of them was a photograph of downtown Manhattan, with the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in the background.
As I gazed at the void left by the twin towers, I began to choke up. I’ve had great memories of the twin towers, and used to visit them often when I was living in New York city. Last weekend, I shot another photograph from the same spot. The void hurts.
