WHERE: CITIES Restaurant & Lounge, 919 19th Street NW, Washington DC 20006 CitiesWashington.com
Join us at CITIES Restaurant & Lounge for the exclusive opening of a photo exhibit by Alyona Vogelmann and discover for yourself, as she did, a whole world of street scenes of Spain. CITIES eclectic and meticulously crafted menu inspired by a variety of world cuisines, and a delightful cocktail and sparkling wine menu will further transport attendees to exotic and far away destinations, while DJ HAMMOND will add to the environment with a stunning mix of melodies.
“Once I took a brush in my hands, the world would transform into that wonderful, intensely hued reality that I saw while counting colors as a little girl.” Since early childhood, Alyona has been fascinated by seeing multiple colors in the objects even the simplest ones, such as a plain grey wall. Not knowing it, she possessed the same vision as the one impressionists captured in their paintings. Only years later she realized, that their paintings were representation of her colorful world in an absolutely perfect way. “I didn’t have the same skills but I felt that I had the same vision. The same vision as Monet perhaps! I was secretly very proud of it.”
Later on the brush in her hands was replaced by the camera and she learned to see the world through the lens — in color and in black and white. On her trips to Europe, to the places where Impressionism was born she took tons of pictures with her camera, inspired by the divine combination of light, atmosphere, people and landscape of a place she was at the moment.
During her recent trip to Spain in an attempt to capture little glimpse of Spanish culture, Alyona got fascinated by how ordinary moments that go by unseen by many people become captured for eternity with a click of a shutter, as the result is her unique photo collection “Moments in Spain.”
The complete stories behind these photos may remain untold, but you can just imagine them by looking at each of the image… An accordion player in Granada throwing his hands in the air as the final expression of his performance. The elderly couple in Sevilla proudly caring themselves across the town square hand in hand. A little girl in Madrid dressed as a miniature adult holding onto her dad’s hand gazing into the street. Maybe she is counting colors, who knows?
Originally from Russia, Alyona Vogelmann is classically trained artist with a degree in Fine Art and Fashion Design. After immigrating to the United States in 1997, she transferred her artistic skills to the world web design. In 2009 she graduated with a degree in professional photography from Center for Digital Arts at Boston University and now specializes in portraiture, wedding and travel photography in Washington DC metro area.

Hammond began his career unofficially several years ago in South Carolina with DJ Andres Catlla. Proving the South was too small for him, and his appetite for adventure too great, Hammond relocated to Washington DC in March of 2008 to officially become The District’s DJ ‘Ambassador of Fun’. Since moving to the city, he adopted the DJ booth as his new home and spins a variety of house music genres including but not limited to deep, funky, and soulful house.
CITIES offers a sleek and contemporary setting with areas for lounging, mixing, and mingling as you explore the wonderful art on view. So, come and enjoy an evening of great ambiance in the company of internationally minded, socially established, and artistically inclined strata of Washingtonians.
We look forward to seeing you at

The Charm of Small Town Life – Hoyos, Spain (life in a small town in spain, spain map charm)
Jan 21st
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Moraleja, Spain by TravelPod blogger Ksullivan.

The Charm of Small Town Life
“So I’m really loving this small town lifestyle. Sure it has it’s negative aspects (pretty much all of which would be resolved if I didn’t have to depend on public transportation), but the good aspects far out way the bad. It’s really just the small, everyday occurences that give the town its charm so I’ve composed a list of incidents to help portray this way of life:
*Everyone offers to help: one of my student’s grandma and mom when I happened to walk by their house while they were outside talking my first week here; the mom of one of the girls I tutor; multiple teachers from school who live in Moraleja. . .
*On a not so good morning, I tried to catch a bus to Caceres but for reasons I’m not going to get into, I couldn’t take it. After I had walked away from the station, a thought occured to me and I started walking back, hoping to catch the bus before I left so I could ask the bus driver a question. Unfortunately, he had already left the bus station and was sitting at a red light. That didn’t matter, he opened the door and answered all my questions while he waited for the light to turn green.
*I was on a bus back to Moraleja late at night. We stopped in the town before mine, and one person got off. The bus driver announced the town’s name again and then, “There’s was another girl.” He then proceeded to get up and look for the girl who was sitting a few seats behind me, asleep. He woke her up and off she went. That would never happen in a big city, mostly because there’s just too many people on the buses. I often take naps when I’m traveling by bus so it’s nice to know the bus drivers are aware of who, or at least how many people, should be getting off at each stop and care enough to pay attention!
Now, these two bus drivers I’ve mentioned are about the only two who drive through Moraleja and am officially fans of both of them. They’re just so nice and friendly!
*So, I had to set up a bank account so that I could get paid. There are two men that work there, and I had to talk to both of them throughout this process. After turning in all the paperwork and stuff, one of the nice bank worker men told me that I needed to make a call to set up my on-line account. He then walked me over to the vice-president’s desk where I sat down in the VP’s chair and used the VP’s phone to make the call so that the nice man could make sure I got everything worked out. Once I made the call, the nice man helped me, on the VP’s computer, to access my account for the first time to make sure I could do it. Oh, and when I asked the nice man what I needed to bring with me to take out money (ID, etc.) he said, “Nothing. We’ll recognize you.” Love it!
*After that pleasant visit, I went back one day to pay my rent. Not only did the two men recognize me, they remembered my name! (I should probably learn theirs. . . ) On one hand, my name would stick out among all those Spanish names, but on the other hand, I’d think it’d be a little harder to remember since it’s not a name they’re used to. Anyway, I was happily surprised by that. On top of that, they always talk to me for awhile, ask me how things are going, if I’m heading home for Christmas, etc.
*One colder day, I was sitting in the park working on my computer. The park benches are metal and therefore cold when it’s cold outside. One old man, as he was passing by me, felt the need to warn me that my behind was going to get cold if I sat there for a long time. He knew, he had just been sitting on a bench and now had a cold behind. So nice of him to warn me!

THE MOVING TOWN by Alberto Nacci (trailer)
Feb 15th
A picture for images, music and concrete sounds.
Orio al Serio (Bergamo – Italy) International Airport is like a… moving town in which passengers co-exist with space and time in the rare knowledge of living an in-between moment connecting the present and the future!
Sound represents the element which was used to create this piece. Sounds, produced by aircrafts, machinery for transporting luggage, other vehicles in the airport, or the mobile phones of passengers waiting for their flights… become the engine of a music composed by Alberto Nacci using the same tones and rhythms.
This background sound, which is further enriched by the Senegalese percussionist, Dudu Kwatech, represents the soundtrack over which Naccis alto sax sings to describe soft melodic lines which only in the final scene express all the required energy in order to… give flight to an idea: the idea of a reality that adapts and moves to follow the needs, desires, expectations… and dreams of people who are about to reach a different far-off destination where they will be greeted by another… moving town.
