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.

Take me out

Friday night I went to go see the Dodgers beat the Giants, 3-2. This was my first pro baseball game in, I don't know, 20 years, maybe. Dodger Stadium dates from 1962 and has only been lightly renovated since then. It retains this sort of Astro-Age design that reminds me of the Jetsons and the old Tomorrowland at Disneyland.

Being a native Northern Californian I was vaguely in favor of the losing team. My friend was as well, even going so far as to wear a Giants sweatshirt. This subjected us to some heckling from the drunk, upper-deck fans who went so far as to call us 'fucking faggots' (If only they knew...).

My next time in Northern California, I may have to go see the Giants play at the newly rebranded AT&T Park. Originally opened in 2000 as Pac Bell Park, the stadium has now changed its name twice to reflect M&A activity regarding their corporate sponsor. Some have suggested it be renamed 'Telephone Park'. May I suggest Corporate Action Park, or perhaps, Branding Consultants Field.

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 I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
