What does it feel like to have one of the world’s greatest and most visited touristic spots virtually just for you?
The surprise of having it almost empty in an awesome evening, in one of the busiest times of the year for tourism in Rio, is priceless.
I guess everybody was down there enjoying Rio’s Carnival already…
P.S. – You can have a feel of the Santos Dumont approach in the first half of this video. Thanks to Avianca pilots for making this.
For those missing the Grincheux series, here we are…
“Oh, and there´s a platform up in the mountain from where you can see the whole city…”
Who would resist?…
Thanks, Renan.
Last day in town, and that guy you´ve only exchanged a few messages with now says he´s all about taking pictures. Even better, he has access to a very interesting research facility.
So we set sail… To the lab!
Thank you Daniel.
What do you do when you´re driving back home, after a long, busy day, and an almost full moon emerges from the sea in a beautiful night?
You find a small road towards the countryside, leave the busier one, and seize the moment…
Wanted to share with you what it looks like in the moments before we actually start to shoot. Of course, when the shooting takes place in some open, public space, things don´t flow like this and doing it quickly is the only alternative… :)
What to say of someone who just got to know you, but joined your crazy project of leaving town to get into some dirty road in the middle of the sugarcane plantations outside the city to try to reach that particular spot you saw in the satellite image? A common friend joining in the last minute only adds to the thrill, and I didn´t expect any less from my hometown men…
Thank you guys.
These are fast changing times in a fast changing region. Centuries-old sugarcane plantations and so far virtually untouched mangrove areas have been giving room to a shipyard, an oil refinery, a growing harbour and many new industries, roads and countless services associated. No landscape seems to be taken for granted anymore as it was the case for our parents, grandparents and so on. Let´s enjoy it, while we can.
More images form our night out will be here in the coming weeks.
Happy 2012!
On a second look, it kinda resembles an inverted Xmas tree…
Happy Holidays!!!
Some say São Paulo keeps trying to be New York. If it´s true, I hope it just keeps on trying and doesn´t lose its own character. I wouldn´t mind if it had half of NY´s public transport system tough…
