sunday vertical

This was in Segovia, Spain, in July. A lot can happen in five months.

a time for reflection

I really miss the café culture of Buenos Aires. This was one of the cafés I usually stopped at in San Telmo, El Federale. You could sit there for hours, undisturbed, and sometimes I intended to...but would get distracted by thoughts of my bed.

friday i'm in love

This handsome man came to visit me over the Labor Day weekend. Like a good tour guide, I took him to shoot photos of "The Bean" in Millenium Park.

the driver

This handsome man has been squiring me around town all month on the back of his scooter.



That's a lollipop, by the way. And it's his birthday today! Happy Birthday!

work update

Here I am, shooting more luxury hotels in San Sebastián. This turned out to be a real nightmare, as most of the hotels were completely booked and I was unable to shoot a lot of rooms. This just meant that I scouted a ton of the smaller hostals and pensíons, which was kind of fun.

Luxury Hideout

With all the flooding and power outages, I decided to leave my house and stay at a friend-of-a-friend's in Palermo, one of the very swank areas of town. I was upset about the situation at home, but I've gotta say it's really nice to stay somewhere posh for a few nights. It is like living in a hotel. I've only met this girl twice and now I'm living in her apartment while she is out of town. Life is great like that. This luxury hideout even has a rooftop pool. Unfortunately I can't use it because of all the rain.



This morning I came in around 5 a.m. and sat for a spell with one of the security guards. I have no recollection what we talked about, or that I even took this photo, but hey, here it is. I do remember that when I stood to get in the elevator, I said good-bye and gave him a kiss on the cheek, which is normal in Buenos Aires, but probably not with the security guards. But you know how once you start going in for the kiss, you can't just change your mind and do a handshake. That would be even weirder.


PS: For anyone who likes Jeff Bridges as much as I do, there's a great photo feature in the NYTimes Magazine that is worth checking out.
