My 25th birthday was exactly 2 weeks ago (on Valentine’s Day — I’m a love child) and as a gift to myself I have decided to do something that I never expected to willingly do. I’m about to spend 40 days backpacking through 4 countries and 10 cities in South America. I have spent the [...]
The first two weeks of February were spent visiting my dear friend, Lorena, in her hometown of Vila Velha in the state of Espirito Santo, a charming little beach city on the other side of the bridge from Vitória. These first photos are from Setiba — a beach about a half hour away.
These next [...]
As is the tagline for Chase Jarvis’s Best Camera app, my iPhone has become my point-and-shoot camera while spending the NY winter Carioca style (read: sun, sand, and saltwater instead of snow). All photos have been edited on the iPhone using the Best Camera, Mill Colour, and Photoshop for iPhone apps.
After a day of rest on January 1st, 6 French, 2 Brazilians, 1 Belgian, and 1 American set off to an island that has made it’s way into my top 3 places on the planet (interchangeable with Isola Elba and Le Cinque Terre, both located in the lovely country of Italy). I’m not going to [...]
I’ve always had this theory that New Year’s Eve should be spent on the beach. This year I have proved my theory correct and elaborated on it: New Year’s Eve should be spent on the beach in Rio.
And also, the first day of the year should always see a sunrise such as this:
On Christmas day I left Rio to spend a couple of days on my dear friend’s father’s farm a couple hours outside of the city. Now you have to understand that I’m originally from Northern NY where commercial farms abound and there are more cows than people. I didn’t really understand farms such as this [...]
If I haven’t talked your ear off about it for the past six months, you are a fortunate soul. I am currently in Brazil for an indefinite period of time. The initial reason my ticket was booked was for my dear friends’ wedding. After being laid off from my art director position at Honey Magazine, [...]
Last weekend I was asked to photograph a baby shower. Mind you, I don’t recall if I had ever been to a baby shower prior to this. I vaguely remember attending one for a babysitter when I was maybe 5 years old. It’s clearly been awhile.
At any rate, although I am not a baby person, [...]
Some days my job is just about all I can ask for out of life. Those are usually the days I get to photograph sexy sirens like Lové Anthony. If you don’t already know who she is, allow me to enlighten you: food critic/world traveler with an up-and-coming television show, “Love2Eat.” The HoneyMag article [...]
First of all, I just have to say that I’m glad I was warned about the mud. After 3 days of people tramping around the soggy park the place was destroyed, but my handy rain boots kept me (mostly) clean and dry. I was not one of the brave souls to really get dirty — [...]
