Tbilisi
March 23-24th, 2010
The Sameba Cathedral is build on the hills of Tbilisi, only around a decade old, it is the highest building in Georgia.
I might have forgot to mention, i bought a point and shoot Konica on a flee market in Berlin for six Euros. It leaks
light at some areas, but I still enjoy using it!
The Georgian Alphabet has been in use since 5th century AD. The most commonly used is Mkhedruli which has
33 letters.
Dial those numbers counter clock wise!
No Tooth ace, but I did get pretty sick during our four days in Georgia. I was able to film during the day, and then
once night struck around seven I was laying in bed with slim fever & watch CNN all day... No plains though!

This is a small portion of the thrive to travel for me, not being able to understand my surroundings.
Babushkas are not always down for a photo... but she was!
Trying to find skateboarding spots... not always easy in countries that had a war just two years ago.
Kirill is always down for a Georgian dance!
Almost all the males in Georgia are called by first name 'George". But before going to Georgia I always asked myself
why almost everyone's last name ends with a 'Shvili'. 'Shvili' means
son off someone in Georgian. But you can also
use the term 'shvili' to call someone else. For example "Hey Shvili, can you grab me some cheese bread". After Nick
(aka. George) told me, i couldn't stop using the term 'Shvili'.
Destroyed Lenin's head & Stas. Love this photo. By the way in case you didn't know, Stalin was born in Georgia!
It was raining on day, so Nick took us up the hill. He didn't mention, that we would witness the craziest tombs i have
ever seen!

Reed pulling some Nosemanuals in Tbilisi. Kenny had the funniest slam on this pad, where he bailed and fell on his
ass, and a second afterwards pulls out his phone from his back pocket, having us all think that he broke his phone,
but at that moment someone called him, he takes the call like a champ. Perfect timing & hard to explain in words
this funny situation. But we all agreed, that was such a
Kenny move, just like flying to Xian from Kabul all the way
around South east Asia!
My film back opens sometimes and exposes the film, sometimes i get really bummed since it ruins the whole shot,
but in this case, it actually gives the frame more energy and meaning. Georgian manikin.
