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.

Brazilian psychedelic 1960s pop group Os Mutantes at a free concert at Stern Grove. Rita Lee, their old lead singer is too good for their reunion tour so Zelia Duncan was subbing in. Their stuff is a little too intellectual to go over well live. The warm-up act, the Venezuelan jam band, Los Amigos Invisibles, was much better, if less historically significant.

Soggy Eucalyptus trees in the fog. For 5 million people in the Bay Area this Sunday was a California Perfect summer day. For the poor souls in the coast-hugging city neighborhoods west of Twin Peaks it was just another day of eternal summer fog gloom. Enjoying the sunshine in my convertible I felt silly making a bee-line for the fog. At least the concert was good.

Meanwhile, my friend Jesse Archer has his best post yet:

I know that a Long Island Ice Tea is just a big concoction that the alcoholics drink, so I poured everything into it: rum, gin, tequila, vodka, whiskey, soda. When I topped it off with beer, the customer asked what I was doing. "It's my signature Long Island Ice Tea," I told him. Sure enough, he drank it down. Alcoholic. Link

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 I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
