Cartier's Cuba - From My Minds Eye

"Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not a major concern.




Photography appears to be an easy activity; in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is their instrument.

What emerges from this recording machine does not escape the economic constraints of a world of waste, of tensions that become increasingly intense, and of insane ecological consequences."

Henri Cartier-Bresson on Photography

Fried Pig Anyone?


Deep frying will kill ALL germs, for sure.

May Day in Cuba - On the Road Again


Looks like it was quite the event, can't believe I missed it. Apparently, the travel ban is still on from flights in and out of Mexico. I was hoping to fly through Mexico on Tuesday, we'll have to wait and see. Here in the airport in Quito and once again - free wifi! Every one in fifty passengers is wearing a silly-looking surgical mask. From what I've read, they only help get the germs from someone that is sick from spreading to others. Still, I've already washed my hands twice this morning, and I've only been up for two hours. At least I made the flight this time - Chau!!

Hail to the Drifting Beard Grower


This guy rocks, it seems like there's few adventures left to be had. The point really is the journey. The destination became mute back in the 50's, I think. I half-heartedly still fantasize about walking the globe, maybe someday. See more about Christoph's walk here. (note his awesome carrito at the end)

The Lamb of God

Animal market in Otavalo. If only that blue truck weren't in the background. It's always something in the way...

For David(s)

Meat vendor in Coca, Ecuador, deep in the Amazon

I had a LOT of help along the way here in Ecuador but especially wanted to say thanks to both the David's for their emergency financial support; what with B of A locking me out of my account and then the equipment theft - thank you both!
