Amidst tons of really bad graffiti, there is some pretty interesting street art in Bogota. Here are some quick shots from wandering around the last few days. Interesting walls, and an earthquake painting from the Botero Museum.

Returned to Colombia for a week and a half for a small tour through Bogota and Neiva with Chris Farmer thanks to Proyecto Sur.  There are so many awesome random things you come across on a day to day basis, so it’s nice to always keep a camera handy.  Yesterday we were walking

Had an envelope sitting at my door today with a cool French postage stamp on it.  That could only mean one thing … the new Roll’s mag is out.  I was kind of shocked how fast it got here.  Just a few weeks ago I flew out to Washington to meet up with the Vibralux tour, and the first day we had to knock out an ad for Don.  My day started in New York at 4am, flew straight to Seattle, went from the airport to skate spots, got an image Don was happy with, and got it uploaded and into design and ready for press all in less than 24 hours.  I barely

I got a text this afternoon from Jeromy Morris, with some photos of his new artwork.  If you’d like to see it I highly recommend you check out his blog here.  I figured for my daily update it would be fitting to use an image we have shot in the past.  This was taken over a year ago in Kansas City.

Bright colors and textures abound all over south America.  After extending a Montanita trip, I took a day trip with my friend Matias to Puerto Lopez.  We took a boat out to an island, snorkeled, had fresh ceviche made on board.  Walking back to catch a bus, I spotted this wall and snapped this photo.

Ah, the redwoods.  One of my favorite places on earth.  This was taken on my first trip to the redwoods, and we came across this tree that was hit by lightning.  The colors and texture blew my mind.  I keep getting short day visits to the redwoods during road trips.  I’m looking forward to an extended camping trip in the future.  2011?

Just came across this image from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  I was shooting a wedding for the Berg family and during a sunset cruise we had this view.  Then pirates emerged through the archway so we left.

I’ve realized that I don’t update my blog nearly enough … to the tune of about one trip per year. Since my last post I’ve been to some amazing places, met great people, moved a few times, and have thousands of photos on my hard drives collecting dust. This is my first attempt to start getting those photographs out into the world where they belong.  

Road Trip 09: Relaxing in Anchorage, and the final mission north December 5, 2009

It took a while to grasp the fact that we had made it to Anchorage, and difficult to put the length of the trip in perspective.  It felt strange to move out of the mobile apartment, and spend some days without barreling down some highway. 

Road Trip 09: Winter Wonderland on the Great Alaska Highway November 29, 2009

Leaving Vancouver marked the 1 month point of the trip, and it dawned on us that we were only halfway to Anchorage, and facing the most intense part of the drive yet. There are only 2 routes to choose from. The first being the well maintained Alaska Highway with flatter terrain and better weather. The other being the Cassiar highway route that winds through the remotely inhabited western mountains of British Columbia and isn’t even fully paved yet. Which one do you think we picked?

Road Trip 09: Halloween with Shop-Task in Vancouver November 27, 2009

We finally got Abby’s “documents” in the mail, and practiced her alias and alibi a few times.  After a few last minute stops in Seattle to drop off post cards and check out some thrift stores, we got over the Canadian border halfway legal with no problem what so ever.  We got in touch with Leon at Shop-Task and he was gracious enough to host us, but under one condition.  He was throwing a Halloween party so we couldn’t stay without  costumes.  Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Road Trip 09: Missoula and Seattle November 27, 2009

After hundred of miles of National Park, we braved civilization again.  The next stop was my old room mates new dwelling spot in Missoula Montana.  The house was going through renovation, and we woke up to a barricade of debris blocking our exit as the workers were tearing the roof apart.  I climbed my way through some rubble to a window

Road Trip 09: SLC and Yellowstone November 21, 2009

We left Vegas with some odd looks as we awoke from the var. A quick birdbath in the local WalMart, a short stop in a thrift store, and we hit the road for Salt Lake City. Car camping and canyon hiking can you smelling pretty intense, and we were lucky enough to spot a nice river off the road. Desert weather was still warm so we hopped in for a swim and river bath. After a nice journey through the west we arrived in Salt Lake City at our buddy Tory’s place.

Road Trip 09: Bedrock, Grand Canyon and Vegas November 12, 2009

The var was getting lonely with 3 homies gone, as we trekked it north toward the Grand Canyon.  We arrived at night during a new moon, and every star in the night sky seemed visible.  We stopped in Bedrock to hang out with the Flinstones, and then attempted to get lost on back roads and paths to acquire a good car camping spot. 

Road Trip 09: Phoenix and Fireworks November 12, 2009

We drove through the desert for hours, and happened upon a nice little fireworks shop. We stocked up with explosives, added another speeding ticket to our collection, and cruised into Phoenix.
