Making Movies

This group of students took me back to my film school days.  One of my favorite things about making films is the complete collaboration it takes.  It can be incredibly difficult and extremely rewarding.  This was just up the street from our flat.  I talked with the owner of the shop you can see on the left and he said that he was hoping for some money, but they gave him none.  He'll just get a copy of the film when they're finished.  I told him I'd like to see it as well.  There's no shortage of people practicing their art in Barcelona.

Capella d'en Marcús

At the corner of Placeta d'en Marcús and Asahonadors is this beautiful statue built into the corner.  It was part of the Capella d'en Marcús which is on the corner of Placeta d'en Marcús and Carders.  This statue of St. John the Evangelist was built in 1628, destroyed in 1936, and rebuilt in 1958.  Found Here.

I found this history of Capella d'en Marcús: Well worth a peek is this diminutive 12th-century chapel nestling in the tiny Placeta d'en Marcus, near the junction of calles Montcada and Carders (the latter means "Woolcomber's Street"). Originally conceived by one Bernat Marcus as a sanctuary for luckless travelers who reached the city after the gates had been closed, the chapel may have been headquarters of the country's very first postal service.

I walk by this every day and it recently caught my eye, it's so beautiful.
