What an amazing year, it truly has been an excellent adventure and I really enjoyed dedicating time to taking photos and improving my photography. Selecting the top 50 best photos had to be done over many coffees, beers and sakes. A big thank you goes to Steve for not only helping selection but lending his […]
In March 2015 we were in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I spent an afternoon in the grungy suburb of San Telmo focusing on photography and in particular portraiture. Due to all the top summary posts of South America at the time I didn’t publish these images. We’re on the home stretch of this trip and […]
Six months travelling from Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina has resulted in the below 26 shots which we seem to keep coming back to. The feature image above (making 27) captures our experience the most comprehensively. The image was taken while submitting Volcano Purace in Colombia and reflects the amount of […]
The land of meat, wine and turning up late; you’d be forgiven for applying this simple tag line to Argentina. We have spent ten weeks soaking in meat, wine and a lifestyle that couldn’t care less about what time it is, the longest span in any country we plan to visit. With so much time […]
Steve and I have spent The last 10 weeks in Argentina and can’t believe we are leaving at the end of this week. Below are some of our favourite photographs from that time. Click on the photos to be taken to the relevant post the photo was originally in if you’d like more context. To […]
So far from the jaded colourless world that was ours in 2010 we now stack the notations of six months in Latin America scribbled so busily onto a laden notepad into bulging back pockets. To borrow from the one and only Queen Elizabeth, 2010 was our ‘Annus horribilis’, when the machinations of our modern world […]
A long drawn out and much needed exhale is what we find ourselves within, a temporary pause in the midst of the whirlwind that has been our last six months. In the rush of this adventure we have been assailed by sights, experiences and immersions so relentlessly that a slight pause becomes more than a […]
Jumping the gun slightly with a few days to wile away in Buenos Aires it’s time to deviate somewhat from the social commentary, cultural immersion and environmental observations. It’s time to recount what any traveller needs to know about South America. Forget the travel guides, TV shows and, ahem, the blogs because we have all […]
So far from mountains we find ourselves, alpine escapists no more as we delve into the heady sweaty hum of one of the worlds great big cities. Buenos Aires unquestionably defies the Argentinian cliche that we’ve seen in cities settling some distance from the vibrant culture that defines this country. Buenos Aires has swagger, flair, […]
Travelling, what a romantic notion: sandy white beaches, not a care in the world, cocktails at any hour of the day and mind broadening experiences. Yes it’s all these things and more, when travelling it’s nearly impossible not to catch whisps of politics, tensions and history from anywhere you go. Every country in this great […]
