Shelter

A good friend of mine offered shelter during my stay in Chicago. 
It was warm and calm.

Picked up my Chicago film roll today! 
A lovely city, it is.  

California License plate

Back home at last-

This van from afar was parked in front of my house.

Brooklyn Shrine

Blurry Chicago

An all-American city! 
And a truly shaky phone photo of the inebriation I feel.

Unidentified Suspended Object

During a sunrise in Hawaii. 
What is that floating in the sky? A lens flare? A processing error? An invisible planet in eclipse?

Rotation

Proof of us spinning in space.

The Vortex

Hauli

Meaning "Without Breath," the light skinned Hawaiian kids are referred to it. 
Hawaiians are intermixed with all different kinds of races- in the land of exotic fruits are also exotic faces. This Hauli boy is 1/8 Japanese, 1/8 Hawaiian, 1/8 Irish, 1/8 I can't even remember. 

Hanging out at the Heiau, a sacred site in Hawaii. 

The West

The grandest sunset I saw in Hawai'i was at Waianae, which is along the west coast of the Oahu island. The sun and cloud danced together a glorious dance.

Fish

Hawai'i has the best sushi I've ever had- 
There is a small, hole-in-the-wall place near where I stayed. The food there is unforgettable, as is the sushi chef. 

Aloha-

I've returned from a Paradise lost in the Pacific. 

Hi

Aloha from Hawai'i! 
Back in a few days- 
Bye!

See ya

Flying to Hawaii for work for 10 days.
Ciao! 

Guggen Cubes

One of the artist that I did a profile on for the Guggenheim show had the most amazing dress. Wish I had a full framed view- it was amazing. 

These guys' works are awesome.

Eggs

I opened the carton and it was a gradient.

Homeless in Toronto

Did not notice the bird till after developing the film. 

Organ Donor

In Brazil I met a friend whose great-grandfather, by the name of Furio, was one of the greatest organ player in his time. He supposedly had a custom made organ brought from Italy to the Cathedral de Sao Paulo and played for the pope, and for other monumental events. It was given to the Cathedral posthumously.

The old man standing with the organ is Furio's son, my friend's uncle-in-law. He knew every date, every year, every milli-details of Furio's organ. 

The organ pipes were super tall and the keys were made of strong ivory.
