Roadtrip Video

I shot this footage on our roadtrip from Montevideo to Santa´Ana Do Livramento. This footage compresses the 5 hour car ride into a heartfelt 3.5 minutes.

Thanks to Band of Horses for making such incredible music and helping to increase the quality of my life over the past several years and thousands of hours spent listening to their music.

Uruguayan Road Trip

We packed up Ruy and Lucy´s little white compact and headed out of Montevideo. We were heading due north, straight through the heart of Uruguay.


We made a quick gas stop in a town named Pasos del Toro. This giant bull stands guard near the entrance to the town.


As for Central Uruguay, as you can see it contains lots and lots of fields. Green fields, brown fields, corn fields, cows, horses, ostriches, sheep, goats, watermelons, squash farms and more.




As you can see, the interior is filled with bright blue skies and fertile soils. It reminded me a lot of what the interior of the United States looks like as well. Except here, instead of farmers, they have Gauchos. Who keep the old school traditions alive in the Uruguayan heartlands.

Durazno Zoo

We returned from our short roadtrip to Brazil yesterday and I was finally able to grab some photos to throw up here.

We headed out of Montevideo heading north. We made our way through a few departments and stopped for lunch in Durazno at their free, local zoo. Durazno is the spanish word for peach.


All these pictures are of birds even though the zoo had a bit of everything. Lions, Tigers, a bear, goats, deer, turtles, warthogs, monkeys, rabbits and more. But these are just the standout photos. The lions were amazing to see, but they were just lounging around trying to cool themselves in the summer heat.

I love the bright, tropical colors exhibited by these birds - well all excep this last one that just looks comical in its serious tone.
