The long way home

Spain and Portugal were a pretty cool experience. It was a little rushed in each place but my sister, mom and I were able to enjoy it nonetheless. It was so interesting to see where a lot of the Portuguese culture and construction techniques influenced Brazil.

My body decided it had enough and needed some rest when I first got to Madrid. So after a few days of a weird stomach bug that forced me to slow down, I was myself again. Maybe it was hummus withdrawal, I don't know...

I'm finally settling in to the US central time zone again. A few days ago I got the chance to photograph four amazing graffiti artists in an all night event in Dallas. I was only able to do it because I was still in the European time zone. For the first time ever, I was thankful for jet lag. I'm editing some of the photos and might post them later. It was a collaboration with Key City and Stainless Studios and I had a blast.

I was kindly reminded by my brother that I need to go visit my nieces in Brazil so one more big trip for the year coming up and I'm ready for 2010! When did I decide to become this nomad???
