Ok, Rio is pretty cool. But, dude, Buzios is insane! It is seriously like something out of a movie. The whole little town is a fishing community in a peninsula located a few hours north (by bus) of Rio. I was able to talk Reagan into experiencing the Brazilian Rodoviaria and cross-country bus trip that … Continue reading And I thought Rio was cool→
I was resolved to wake up before dawn this morning, so that I could shoot the sunrise from the point between Copacabana and Ipanema. Reagan was a really good sport, and came along with me. Not even being dramatic, it was one of the most fantastic sunrises that I have seen. I’m totally glad that … Continue reading Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning→
Reagan took me to a futebol game today. It was in the Maracana, which is one of the largest stadiums in South America. It has held as many as 200k people before. Here we are field level about an hour before the game started. Also about 5 minutes before we took our shirts off. It … Continue reading Fluminence-1, Palmeiras-0→
So stoked to be back in the BR. So far, Reagan loves it too. She didn’t sleep much on the flight, though. So she is currently passed out. We arrived at our hotel around 1:30, got some lunch, then went straight to the beach. It was a bit overcast, on and off. But, we are … Continue reading Rio Rio Rio→
Ugghhhhh. Packing is the worst. I have seriously been putting it off like crazy. I’m sitting here paying bills right now, and even IT seem more fun than packing. Anyway, I’m not sure what kind of connectivity we will have over the next 10 days, so the blogging will most likely get pretty sparse. I … Continue reading Procrastination→
I took this shot of the construction at 1 World Trade Center, last night on my way home. It is weird sometimes how certain seemingly random things will set my mind in motion, wandering down equally random paths. Last night, for example, after observing the construction, admiring the workers, etc., I started thinking about the … Continue reading Pensive non-sense→
On Friday, Reagan and I are headed to Brazil. I’m pretty stoked about it. I haven’t been back there since ’99. It’s so crazy. It will be almost exactly 10 years. Here is a photo from last time I was in Brazil, hahaha. Notice those blue skies. Reagan has been doing some Rosetta Stone lessons. … Continue reading Brazil or Bust→
This week musica coolica is kind of a big deal for two reasons. First, it is the year anniversary since I started doing musica coolica. Hahahahah, ok, that really isn’t that big of a deal. The other thing is that Reagan and I will be headed to Brazil, on Friday. So, in anticipation of our … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #46 (Bonde do Rolê)→
When I was just a little tyke, snowboarding was just starting to become an acceptable sport. What I mean by acceptable, is that it had it’s foot in the door, among the alpine sports community. There was only one resort along the Wasatch Front that allowed snowboards in, and it was only on two lifts. … Continue reading What I love about snowboard culture→
This year was the 40th New York City Marathon. It was such an awesome race, for so many reasons, including the fact that an American won the mens’ race for the first time, since 1982. For me, though, it was especially cool, because I was able to photograph it from the photo bridge at the … Continue reading 2009 New York City Marathon→
