I have written about Os Gemeos before. They are a Brazilian duo that does street art. When I say duo, I mean twin brothers. Os Gemeos actually means “the twins” in Portuguese. There is a very distinct look to the art that they do. They use a lot of bright yellows and reds. I first … Continue reading Internacionale: Os Gemeos→
Haas and Hahn have teamed up to work under the moniker “Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn.” Their latest project is to bring a little color to the infamous favelas of Rio de Janeiro. I love Brazil. I love Rio. I can’t wait to get back there and check this out (from a distance, hehe). Graffart.eu … Continue reading Street Art o’ the week: Rio→
It was bitter-sweet, to leave Brazil yesterday. We really had a great time there. We were initially planning on just having a casual Sunday and gearing up for the flight home, while lounging around the hotel, or something. Instead, we ended up having an action packed last day. We initially set out to photograph some … Continue reading Chegamos→
We stared out the day with a bike ride around the lagoa, that sits about 6 blocks inland from Ipanema. It was a really fun ride. The outside perimeter of the lake is about 8 kilometers. It is great to see how many fitness minded Cariocas were out running and biking. Nike plus had a … Continue reading Botanical Garden & Bike Ride→
Reagan and I were both kind of sad to leave Buzios. We are now back in Rio, this time staying on Ipanema Beach. It is really nice here. It is a good spot to wind down and get ready to go home. It is going to be tough to go back to the grind, after … Continue reading Back in Rio→
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→
