Architectural Tour
















Saturday I met with a family to plan their portrait. Susi was nice enough to invite me on a little tour on Sunday. She is half Kuwaiti and half German. Her husband is American and works at the Embassy. She did her thesis on Kuwaiti history and architecture. We went scouting for locations to take photos. I honestly don't know how I stumble into these things...

Anyways, we talked about how the older buildings were built, their purpose, and how many locals are asking that the government restore them. They haven't had much luck. We did go to the Modern Art Museum, which was formally a girl's school.

When you think of all that oil money their government has I can see where that would be very frustrating.
