Early Christians

One thing that fascinates me is early Christians. Long before the religion went triple platinum in the 5th Century, Christians were a strange little Mediterranean cult. On the Greek Island Milos, just a few steps from where the Venus de Milo was found is a 1st century Christian Catacomb. If you’re ever on Milos, it’s worth a visit. Click to enlarge:

Remember when people line up around City Hall for a chance to shake the new Mayor’s hand? Those days are long, long over.

I’m not going to get much into how I feel about the man. From what I can tell, he’s an intelligent man with a good sense of humor and a horrible job. I like the guy and think he was largely dealt a bad hand. With that said, he’s not without his (sometimes serious) flaws. I’ll leave it at that. In honor of the 50% mark of Nutter’s first term, here are a few slightly more interesting photos from the various photo-ops I’ve covered since he took office. Click to enlarge:
