sleepy monday

Another addition to my sleepers series, two men sleeping in the Plaza San Martín.

dog day afternoon

The porteños do love their dogs, which endears me to them greatly. You'll often see the dogwalkers strolling down the sidewalks, surrounded by a dozen dogs on leashes. They all wind up in the dog parks.

working weekends

I have finally finished this shopping guide I've been shooting/writing. It was a ton of work, but fun. I tromped all around the upscale neighborhoods of the city, talked to some great designers, and ventured into a lot of beautiful stores.



I love this photo even though it's probably not publishable. And I've learned that wide-angle lenses are not great for shooting interiors. Everything always looked lopsided. I have to figure that one out still.

urban wildcats

There are lots of stray cats around Buenos Aires--not as many as Rome, but a lot. Sometimes I see people putting plates of food out for them in abandoned lots.

urban rainbow

I was shivering my way through Palermo the other day when I passed through this:



The light is changing here so quickly. Buenos Aires is about 35 degrees south of the equator, as far south as Capetown in South Africa. It makes for some nice photography in the early afternoon.

fleximart

This is the covered San Telmo market. During the day it's mostly a tourist destination for antiques, but in the evening the antique stalls close and it is filled with fruit and meat merchants.



The porteños are very orderly when it comes to waiting in line. They don't even grumble too much about it. I've seen lines for who-knows-what wrapping around multiple city blocks. They are especially good at queueing for buses.

happy june

I am just not going to explain this photo at all. Because I really can't. It was funny that I was there, and it was funny that I was taking photos, and then it was even funnier that I found it all so funny.



It has just been one of those weeks, I guess.
