Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots.

Gay Pride in São Paulo

São Paulo´s gay pride parade is on Sunday with 2 million (!) people expected. Half a million tourists, mostly from elsewhere in Brazil have descended upon the city for a weekend of of non-stop partying. Even Cariocas, notorious for their dislike of SP have been showing up. It seems the whole of New York´s DJ scene has also decamped down here for the week. Last night Alex Lauterstein played Ultralounge. Tonight 30,000 (!) are expected for the e.joy party headlined by Deborah Cox with a DJ set by Tony Moran to follow. Also tonight Peter Rauhofer is playing The Week, São Paulo´s biggest gay club. Saturday night Junior Vasquez will DJ a party at Hotel Unique. The blogger Made In Brazil has very good coverage of the events.

Of course gay pride means fabulous drag queen pictures:

I shot these photos at yesterday´s street festival on Largo do Arouche in downtown São Paulo. The distant figure on the stage is a drag queen doing Tina Turner.

Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
