El Drugstore in Colonia del Sacramento
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 11 August 2009
Colonia de Sacramento is a small town located a one-hour ferry ride away from Buenos Aires, across the Río de la Plata.

Escape from the city
Blog: Long Life in Buenos Aires - 23 June 2009
A post on how much I love Colonia, Uruguay is long overdue. I’ve been there three times now, and am looking forward to one last ferry ride over there in a few weeks. If you’re into quaint, sleepy, almost even deserted, but absolutely beautiful towns, Colonia del Sacramento is the place to be. It’s right across the river, and the barrio histórico, full of shops and so-so parilla and seafood restaurants is right on the water (some times if you squint real hard the water even looks blue).

Rechoo portchoo from Colonia
Blog: Bearshapedsphere - 30 April 2009
Last night the temperature dropped and the wind was so blowy and the trees whispered furiously as their leaves rustled against one another in the giant arch that they formed above the streets, that I knew it was fall. What's funny about this fall is that it's the summer of the south of Chile, all humidity and promise of rain and fresh smells and leaves blowing by and no trash at all because people are tidy or because it all got blown somewhere else.

A point of comparison
Blog: Bearshapedsphere - 27 April 2009
I suffer from an inescapable desire to compare this to that. Everywhere I go, I put under the subjective lens that it's taken me all these years to painstakingly construct and send into orbit, like some kind of personal Hubble Telescope, but without blowing the budget quite so much and without such stunning images. (though more than one editor in recent months has asked me if I've thought about seriously pursuing photography, but maybe that's some kind of weird ego-fanning that editors do; if I understood editors, my life would look very different.
