Oh my little blog I'm sorry, 7 months without writing in you, that's some kind of personal record. I'm not sure what happened. Writing is rather a temperamental thing for me. There will be times in my life when the words flow easily, I have so much to say and to write about. But then sometimes, I just simply don't feel like writing.<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know, I'm currently back home in Australia. I spent most of last year living in Peru, however medical reasons brought me home to sunny little Perth for the summer. It's been so long since I've written in here and I'm not quite sure on where to start? I suppose I'll start close to where I left off - my birthday trip in September.<br /><br />Lima gets really grey in winter. I mean really really grey. Think no sunshine for maybe four months? Each morning I would roll over and open the blinds to look out the window, only to be greeted by a thick and miserable blanket of wet grey fog and zero sunshine. After a while it starts to get you down. I found myself lethargic, sleepy, lacking of energy and feeling down. I didn't really mind what I did for my birthday week, all I knew was I wanted some sunshine, and I wanted to get out. Luckily for me the north of Peru has beautiful weather in winter, and is also home to some of the world's best and longest left hand waves.<br />
<br />
So I went back to visit Lobitos. Lobitos is this absolutely perfectly beautiful left hand point break in a small and dusty Peruvian town. It's very desolate, hot, sunny, windy and stunning in its own strange way. I had a very quiet birthday. A few surfs, a few beers and some much needed sunshine. There were only two downsides - one was I couldn't find a birthday cake anywhere. In fact not even a piece of cake. I ended up being sung happy birthday over a pizza. Happy birthday pizza, yay! The second issue was the surf was so crowded. So so very crowded, and very aggressive. I find that lately I simply have no patience for agro crowds. My surf hunts become more about finding somewhere peaceful versus finding a perfect wave. To top things off on my birthday surf I got run over by a standup paddle board. I tried my best to dodge him, but it was windy, and as he came screaming down the line he lost control and shot his board out, hitting me on the back. I was unharmed, but left the water shaking my head and vowing to avoid over saturated lineups at all costs. It's sad when a wave you once loved so much just doesn't appeal anymore. But still, even the worst day at Lobitos is ten times better than the surf we have here in Perth!<br />

I'm living in a very convenient location. A very convenient location indeed, because I'm just a mere overnight bus ride from the longest left in the world. Chicama; it needs to be seen to be believed. Before my first trip to Peru I knew vaguely of the wave, but arrived with little knowledge and almost no expectations. Yet what greeted me was one of the most incredible sights of my life. The huge bay of Chicama is nestled in a small fishing village on the dry and barren Peruvian coastline. It is a bay of epic proportions, framed by large dusty red cliffs and a long fishing pier. And the lines. The lines wrap with impeccable shape, beginning at the headland and stretching, ever expanding, like perfect mechanical waves, wave after wave after wave along the giant bay.<br /><br />This April I was blessed with the opportunity once again to return to Chicama with Women's Surf Style Magazine, with the duty of documenting their latest Peru trip. We had the owners of the magazine, Sandra and Dan Olson, along with a group of amazing clients who had flown in from Florida. Our host, as per last trip, was the incredibly decadent Chicama Surf Resort.<br /><br />The week stated off slowly as the beast was sleeping. Chicama takes a big swell to start firing, but still consistently delivers a fun peeling longboard wave. We spent our days either longboarding, or taking day trips to the neighbouring breaks like Pacasmayo (known as Chicama's sister wave, another long left that requires less swell to start working) and visiting ancient Peruvian ruins and cultural sites. Shooting was proving challenging, with the Peruvian desert giving me no breaks with its relentless sand and gale forced winds. Walking down the point to set up required a hat, sunnies, and a completely wrapped up face and ears, trying to protect myself from the sand storms. The crazy thing about Chicama though is even when the wind blows, it's always offshore, and the waves ALWAYS hold their shape.<br /><br />On our last day she woke up. I jumped out of bed at the crack of dawn and ran down the point, board in arm, for a sneaky morning session. Our team spent the day surfing wave after wave down the bay, smiling from ear to ear, arms like noodles. One of our clients Bobby caught a wave that we timed to be a few minutes long (maybe two or three?). After our legs completely gave out we returned to the hotel to soak in a much needed hot tub, watching the big red sun setting across the perfect lines.<br /><br />I'm forever swell watching here. Watching and analysing, waiting for the next perfect swell to coincide with some time off in my schedule. I'll be on a bus North faster than you can blink, because still in my whole life of travel, I have never experienced a wave like this.<br /><br />*Look for the full story and pictures in the next issue of Women's Surf Style Magazine<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I often get asked what's my two favourite things about living in Peru. The answer is simple - waves and food. I'm going to start with the food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coming from Australia I feel we're a little devoid of a cultural food identity. We have barbecues, but that's universal, meat pies which are nice but I can't handle them all the time, and then there's vegemite. I adore my vegemite, but every time I try and feed it to a foreigner they get a shocked look and run off to go scrape their tongue out. I was told last week by a Peruvian that it tasted like a rotten salty ocean.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This brings me to Peruvian food. While a little carb heavy at times (they like to have both potato and rice in a meal, weird right?), it's amazing. They grow this little chilli here called an Aji, and I've never found it anywhere else in the world. The flavourful little gem is used in a majority of their local cuisine. The first food here that needs a special mention is ceviche, in my opinion it's the best in the world. But I'm going to write an entire post devoted to that later. Today marks the first instalment in my "Places I love to eat in Lima". Since I don't have much to do right now I'm going to devote my time to eating, and I'm beginning with two personal favourites - the most epic sandwich ever, and the world's best churro! Hurrah!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1). Churro of Epicness:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok so granted the Churro technically isn't from Peru, but it's still a staple street food. You'll find little vendors all over Lima selling them. But what makes the churro different here? They stuff it FULL of manjar blanco, a delicious hot gooey caramel made from condensed milk. Churros vary from vendor to vendor - a good one is light, hot, crispy and fresh, and a bad one heavy, cold and over fried. Which brings me to the best Churro in Lima (in my opinion). You'll find it in a little cafe called Monolo situated in Miraflores. It's just before the main Church in Parque de Kennedy. It's crispy, fresh, gooey, awesomeness. At 4 soles a pop it's a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it. My saving grace is it's hard to get parking in this area, otherwise I'd be the size of a house by now.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2). Sandwich of Epicness:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not a big sandwich lover (I don't really eat bread), but this one knocks my socks off. It comes from a sandwich chain that you'll find all over town called La Lucha. Little sandwich shops are abundant in Lima, so what makes this one different? The quality of ingredients and the sauce. The bred is fresh and crispy, but the smoked meat is what makes it. I always order the pavita, which I think is spanish for "little turkey". This pavita sandwich is the only time in my life I've decided something is BETTER without the veggies. Weird right? All this little beauty needs is bread, smoked turkey, and the awesome La Lucha creo sauces which usually consist of - aji sauce (creamy chilli sauce), a mix of thinly sliced red onions, cilantro and other goodies. I don't really know what's in it but it's heaven. Accompany your meal with a milkshake (also the best I've found in Lima so far), or a traditional purple corn drink called "Chicha Morada". A sandwich at La Lucha will cost you around 12 soles or a little bit more. Both these restaurants can be found in the Parque de Kennedy area, a popular central park which is a strange mix of street vendors, flowers and well kept stray cats.</span><br />

<br />
People think of surf photography as a dream job, and in a lot of ways it is. The avoidance of the office, life on the road, travel to dream surf destinations and working with the rockstars of the surfing world. But things are never quite what they look like on the surface. For me the surface was something I've been scratching at for a while. The surf industry does a good job of glamourising itself, the stories and images the surf magazines and media give off only work to feed the ego. The parties, the boys clubs, the lifestyle...<br />
<br />
This winter I needed an internship to complete my degree and Perth was cold, rainy, surfless and pretty much had nothing going on. My salvation came in the form of the WCT tour stop in Keramas in Bali, and one kind photographer who was willing to take me on. We spent three weeks bouncing between shooting the contest and covering some free surfing for a well known surfing magazine. Dream job right?<br />
<br />
I learnt a lot over those three weeks. First off I learnt Bali black sand is really really hot, and the sun has no mercy. Long shoots on the black sand meant trying to cover myself in head to toe with sarongs and sunscreen, overheating like a dog locked in a car in the sun. Worst thing is you want to drink water, but if you drink to much you have to pee, and if you pee you'll miss the aerial the guy you're shooting is about to pull and everyone will be really angry at you. Plus how do you pee while holding a 500mm surf lens???<br />
<br />
Secondly I learnt that shooting contests isn't a whole lot of fun. Take what's mentioned above, then apply it to a crowded beach from 7am until 5pm. I think what blew me away though was just HOW MANY photographers are on the beach, and they all have great equipment. When something happens (like John John's 10 point aerial), you have to hustle to upload and send it off before it becomes old news. A long day of shooting is followed by an evening of editing, because you have to send your images in for publication no more than a few hours after they're shot, otherwise they become obsolete.<br />
<br />
Third thing I learnt was it's all who you know in the boys club. Photographers in the industry have spent many years making their contacts. The pros only shoot with the guys they know, so first off you need a foot in the door and THEN you have to build your relationships. And as far as I can tell, it's very much a boys club.<br />
<br />
And the positives? Being on location. Being out of the office. Being part of a team. Staying in team houses. But most of all, the satisfaction when you come home to edit your pictures after a long day of shooting, and they're really good. The feeling that you've nailed it.<br />

Oh my poor little blog, you get so neglected when I'm not traveling! If I'm not out doing something crazy on the road I guess I figure it's not worth writing about. But then I realise hang on, the past couple months haven't been THAT bad. There was a work experience trip to Indonesia to shoot for Red Bull and TransWorld Surf, traveling through Lombok, bikini shoots and more... so I'll start with the bikini shoot :)<br />
<br />
I met two Perth surfer girls Kel and Rachael out in the lineup in Peru. Now were all back in Australia, and I got the pleasure of shooting the campaign for their new bikini company Cenote Swimwear. Inspired by South American designs (meaning nice and SMALL in the bum!), the collection features beautiful vibrant colours and cheeky cuts. I'm so excited to finally find a Perth company making cheeky cut bikini bottoms. I started wearing them in Latin America, and I could NEVER turn back to wearing full sized saggy bummed designs. It rained all day of the shoot, so I'm so happy the pictures turned out. Have a look at the link bellow to see my images featured on Designed by WA website and the Cenote Swimwear website. So proud!<br />
<br />
p.s. Did I mention they're designed for surfing in?<br />

<br />
Well I've definitely just had the most intense writing venture of my life. It started with being contacted by The Guardian with a commissioned request for an article on woman's surfing. I was super excited by the offer but scared. I thought, am I well versed enough on the subject to write a legit article? After the doubt subsided I realised heck yes I am. Female surfer for 8 years and working in the industry for over three, my opinion is an educated and worthy one. So I wrote it.<br />
<br />
The issue was the notorious Roxy advertisement for the surf contest in Biarritz, and it's really created quite a stir. It seems to have split the people, the haters and the supporters. And there are a LOT of haters of my viewpoint. Sex sells. We all know that, it's just a fact of corporate marketing life. That's not in question, but I guess a lot of people missed the point. It's hard writing something that's copping some flack, but as my friend just told me "if you're not getting haters, you're doing something wrong!". Roxy - props to you. Your marketing blunder, whether pre meditated or not, has just given women's surfing the most attention of it's life. That's got to be a good thing right, even if for all the wrong reasons?<br />
<br />
Have a read of the article here and tell me your thoughts.<br />
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/08/roxy-sexist-surfing-ad">http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/08/roxy-sexist-surfing-ad</a><br />
<br />
I wrote to my dad about struggling with the negative feedback. The words he gave me really helped. It's not about selling sex folks, it's about this -<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Surfing is male dominated, both the surf industry and the culture. Surfing could really benefit with more participation from women. The surfing industry could benefit financially by greater participation from women - they are the industry's biggest growth market. The industry and the surfing competitions are becoming more male dominated and sexist / testosterone oriented. That advert is a perfect example. My guess is that it was commissioned, produced and approved by men. Someone prove me wrong please. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Put it this way. Right or wrong, sex is used all the time to sell things and pretty women are used all the time to sell things. But, the commodity they are selling always features large in the advert. Ford uses sex to sell automobiles. But Ford would never ever make an advert of a sexy woman in a bikini without also showing the car. The car would be the focus of the ad, not the sexy model in the bikini. In professional marketing, sex is used subliminally. Roxy blew it, they used it overtly. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The surfing culture also really needs more participation from women. Surfing is becoming more and more aggressive in the line up. Both the guys and the girls will agree on that one. Women don't get much respect outside of the line up either. My daughter gets disrespected and even aggressively run over by agro males in the line up. That needs to change. More women in the line up would help to facilitate that change. As a parent of young children, I would not go out of the way to support my kid getting too interested in the sport/culture - too many low IQ sexist dickheads. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The feedback you're seeing right now to this ad is dominated by males - that also is not good. Why aren't the women being heard? Perhaps because the surfing industry (including the media industry) is dominated by males. Are there any women in senior positions in any aspect of the surfing industry? And women's surfing doesn't need more support/attention from yobbo males, that will just turn the girls off the sport in droves."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Thanks pops, from a non surfer's opinion, you've somehow managed to nail it square on the head. </span></div>

I'll be completely honest with you, there really is nothing exciting to write about. My past month has consisted of classes, assignments and more assignments. I've surfed only a few times and my arms are turning into skinny little non surf worthy noodles. It's becoming a bit of a bummer.<br />

But today I do have something to share. It's the latest issue of Women's Surf Style Magazine. Writing and shooting for print media is a process. I spend so long babying my articles, then finally sending them off. Then I wait. And then finally one day when I've forgotten all about it, there it comes in the mail. A beautiful new shiny copy of the latest magazine with my work in print. It's a great feeling seeing it for the first time. I have two works in this issue that I'm so happy to share; first off is the story of the Cubanitas, the last women surfers in Cuba, and second is an article about my time spent running a hotel in Northern Peru.<br /><br />You can read them at<a href="http://www.womenssurfstyle.com/" target="_blank"> www.womenssurfstyle.com</a> or pick yourself up a hard copy.<br />

I write about a lot of things. Sometimes it's travels, lately it's been work projects. But today I'm going to talk about this really tough thing called coming home. I get asked a lot what the hardest part about years of solo travel is. Most people think it would be living out of a bag, loneliness or financial stress... but the truth is it's none of the above. Instead it's this tricky little thing called adjusting to structured life again.<br />
<br />
Coming home it's lovely seeing all my friends and family, it's the best part, but I've become accustomed to a very different every day life. There's a lot of adventure. A lot of solitude. It's new places, people, waves, freedom, and of course at times hard work. That one follows you everywhere. Luckily Perth is an unreal, beautiful place to live which makes things easier. Still, it's a strange thing going to classes all week, coming home, doing the dishes, cooking dinner, paying my bills, going to work.... I feel like a little ant sometimes driving around the city. While it is great to be using my brain and learning new things, I can't help but count down the days until I'm packing my bags again, with that incredible feeling of not really knowing what's going to happen.<br />
<br />
Here's a few pictures from the past year that remind me of what keeps me going. I get asked a lot when I plan to pick a place to settle. The answer is I already am. I'm settled everywhere I go :)<br />

It's not my normal assignment. If you haven't already noticed I'm usually pretty surf oriented. However last weekend I took a break from the ocean to document UFC champ and Jiu-Jitsu master Royce Gracie.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shooting Royce's seminar I was expecting all kinds of intense UFC gnarly fighting moves, but I was pleasantly surprised. A lot of his teachings are based around self defence - the art of brining your opponent down without ever needing to throw a punch. As a solo woman traveler I have decided this is DEFINITELY something I should be learning, how to get away fast in an emergency situation. Fingers crossed I'll never have to use it, but this stuff is awesome. Royce was a top bloke too with a great sense of humour. I'll be looking him up next time I hit California for some proper self defence tutorials! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
UFC champion? No worries. I got this. </div>

Here's a days work from shooting local outdoor mums group Teeny Greenies. I felt a little bit weird being the only one without a bub, but my camera counts as my offspring right?<br />

Lately there's been a few friends birthdays and I suck at buying presents, but I thought of a great solution. Why not put my camera gear to good use? I've found making promotional or sentimental videos and birthday photo shoots can make a really special and thoughtful gift. Only danger? It can take a lot more time than you think. For me the editing process, especially video, is a bit of a love hate relationship. It frustrates me like crazy, but yet there's something therapeutic about it. You can get lost in it for hours.<br />
<br />
Here some work from two dear friends' projects. The first is a video for the very talented Annabelle Gordon. She makes beautiful, whimsical paper-cut artworks. They really have this magic about them.<br />
<br />
The second is a shoot and video for my friend Larissa. She's a first time mum and started up a monthly get together support group for fellow mums and bubs called Teeny Greenies. Working with babies was a whole new challenge. Getting them to look at you is tough. At one point I had about four babies all crawling over me trying to grab the camera. I guess it made an appealing "click" noise, plus it's shiny!<br />
<br />
Seriously though. Videos and photos, they can make people very happy. It's a gift I'm happy to be able to give.<br />

I always get super excited seeing my work on The Inertia. Here's my latest piece on working life in Northern Peru. This was a tricky one for me. Sometimes ethically I have a hard time knowing what to write about, and what to leave out for fear of hurting people or rocking the boat. But at the end of the day I just want to share stories.<br />
<br />
So please check it out and tell me what you think :)<br />

Hands down the best way to do a surf check. When flying lowing enough you can actually see the little surfers on their tiny boards clear as day. Yesterday I was lucky enough to be brought along on a scenic flight in Kauai, Hawaii.<br />
<br />
Our plane was a little six seater and I got to ride as co-pilot. Last time I co-piloted I actually flew the plane, but this time the closest I came was accidentally bumping the controls while trying to take photos. Flying in Kauai is pretty treacherous though, with tons of mountains and thermal air pockets making for a bumpy ride. For the last half hour I was a miserable motion sick mess, 10 more minutes and I would have thrown up for sure!<br />
<br />
I had NO idea what lies in the interior of Kauai, and it was SO cool. Hundreds of untouched, unreachable waterfalls, pristine canyons, valleys, rivers and craters. It was unlike anything I've ever seen. We even flew right over the wettest place on the earth - Mount Waialeale. Then to top it all of we even got to see whales jumping from the air. I don't think my stomach would allow me to do it again, but it was still an unreal experience. I've now decided the best way to check the surf is by air. Someone get me a plane and a pilot!!!<br />

I've been too busy surfing and camping. But now I've finally returned to the lights of my computer screen to post this video from my time in the Amazon jungle. The little girl is part of the family I stayed with in a tiny village. Everything revolves around the river there. You bathe in it, wash your clothes and dishes, and even drink it. It tasted a bit funny at first but believe it or not I never go sick. My favorite thing there was paddling up river in the family's little dug out canoe and drifting back fishing for piranha. Those little suckers are so feisty and so much fun to fish for. We had long wooden sticks with finishing line, a hook and meat for bait. They're not bad eating either!<br />

I'm writing this in bed. Literally just opened my eyes, and I can't believe it's the last morning of 2012.<br />
<br />
Each year I keep thinking - this year can't get any crazier or any better than the last. But yet it does. I don't want to get all mushy on you, but reflecting on this past year just makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.<br />
<br />
Leaving home in mid December last year all I had was a one way ticket to Hawaii, my new camera gear that I had NO idea how to use, and enough money to last me about 3 months. Fast forward to now and I'm back in Hawaii after an unreal year on the road.<br />
<br />
I surfed amazing waves all over the world, was the first person to document women's surfing in Cuba, was then stranded in Cuba and rescued by the Canadian embassy, continued on to run the ground operations at a surf camp on a crazy remote private Panamanian island with no electricity, water and amazing surf where every day brought new and dangerous challenges.<br />
<br />
In April I found myself being brought along on a 10 day magazine surf trip with WSSM, traveling all expenses paid to beautiful Peru to surf the best left waves in the world. We caught Chicama, the longest lef in the whole world, so good they were setting the Guinness World Record for the most manoeuvres done on one wave. The set up there was the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. But was I going to leave the country after only 10 days? Hell no! So I changed my ticket to stay with my surfboard, suitcase and almost non existant travel funds.<br />
<br />
The travel gods were smiling though and I was offered a job managing a beautiful hotel in front of a smoking point break. I spent 5 very difficult months there learning the ups and downs of business management in a foreign country. No one spoke a word of english either so I had to learn fast. It was sink or swim, but one of the most incredible learning experiences of my life.<br />
<br />
It was a very tough decision leaving Peru, but my need to move keeps me going. Will I ever feel the itch to settle? Guess we will have to wait until next year to find out, but I doubt it!<br />
<br />
To everyone I met this year, to everyone in my life old and new, to all the people following me, supporting me and inspiring me, thank you and Happy New Years! xox<br />
<br />
Here are a few previously never seen pictures from this year.<br />

I'm over on the beautiful island of Kauai right now, and there's so much awesome outdoors stuff to do that I've forgotten about the internet. Not a bad thing right?<br />
<br />
So here is the last little video from the final day of the Pipeline Masters on Oahu. The conditions weren't epic but it was still fun. Pretty much the whole beach was going for Parko. In the team houses overlooking Pipe all the surfers were going off cheering for him.<br />

I'm sorting through the final day of Pipeline footage. This guy above copped a serious free fall. While shooting Pipe is always entertaining, something was different this year. The initial OMG I'm on the North Shore jitters have worn off. I even neglected to attend the finals parties at the team houses, notorious for their festivities and boozing hot pro surfers. Does this mean I'm getting old???<br />
<br />
Still it was good to watch fellow Aussie Parko being shoulder carried up the beach and the crowd going off. Poor Kelly just sat out there in the water after loosing his heat. We gave up waiting for him to come in, and packed up the car to go eat.<br />
<br />
Here's the video from day two, with the final video coming soon. Congratulations Parko!<br />

It's that time of the year again. Podiums are built, T-shirts are printed, camera's are prepped and Pipeline is on. The circus is in town. Will I ever get sick of shooting here? Never.<br />

Lastest video from our WSSM Peru trip. It was my first magazine trip and I can't wait to do it again. Long waves, INSANELY beautiful hotels (way out of my budget), flights with Taca included...<br />

off piranha fishing for the next day's breakfast. She was a skilled fisherwoman.</span><!--EndFragment--></span></div>

You see it coming like a big puffy grey thing, and in two seconds it starts bucketing down with a "I'm gonna flood everything" kind of ferocity.<br />
<br />
I got caught out in the local markets, camera it tow. Had to hide in a store for an hour. On the way back I came across this kid having a roll around by the street curb. I asked the local fruit peeling ladies who he belonged to but no one seemed to know.<br />
<br />
I tried to sneak up to get these pics but he noticed after a while. I gave him a pack of gum and a few coins, a small price to pay and he was happy. For me this picture below captures so much. That feeling of the rain, the heat, laughter... this water had to be filthy but he didn't care.<br />

<br />
I've seen plenty of jungles before right? Costa Rica, Hawaii, Panama, Samoa to list a few... but they all pale in comparison to this one - the one and only AMAZON! Seriously I feel like I'm ticking something so major off my bucket list, like a place you dream about as a little kid.<br />
<br />
You don't realize the enormity of the Peruvian Amazon until you see it from the air. The thing is huge. I wonder how many tourists have disappeared in there?<br />
<br />
Right now I'm spending my first night in Iquitos on the edge of the Amazon river. It's the largest city in the world not linked by roads, you can only get in by flight or boat. It's cool and all but after 5 weeks in Lima I'm pretty well citied out. I can see the wilderness right there, but the question is, how do I get in it? Being a major tourist hub there are all kinds of over priced sight seeing tours, but I'm looking for a different kind of experience. Here's hoping I can find it.<br />
<br />
I really want to see a sloth. And an anaconda. Oooh and a pirahna!<br />

I love shooting the people in my life. Unfortunate for my friends, they're always like "Hey! You're pointing that camera at me AGAIN??"<br />
<br />
I finally got a new toy yesterday. Trying to do everything with the same kit lens blows, so I'm on cloud nine. Meet the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8. We're in love. He may be small and plastic but don't let that fool you. The quality that come out of this baby is unreal.<br />
<br />
So my latest guinea pig is my friend Mox. He has a Youtube show here in South America called "What da Faq Show". Yesterday I filmed a short one minute documentary about making his show and life in general. Here are the stills to go with it. I might release it soon, if you're lucky :)<br />

I love ceviche. It's half the reason why I stayed here in Peru. Well that and the really really long lefts. Each country I visit has amazing food, it's one of the main joys of traveling, but Peru takes it to a whole new level. It's out of this world! Ceviche, Tiradito, Saltado, it's all so good. The other great thing is the fresh fish. Each little coastal town (especially up north) has a pier. You can meet the fishermen as they come off their boats to buy freshly caught fish.<br />
<br />
While I was living up north the locals taught me to cook traditional Peruvian ceviche. Lots of people have been asking me for the recipe, but you'll just have wait until the next issue of WSSM.<br />
<br />
To accompany the article I shot a Ceviche cooking segment for the mag. It was a blast running around the local market filming and buying ingredients. Except the security guys at the market place told us we couldn't shoot, so we tried to sneak around incognito. I ended up behind the counter at the fish stand doing an impromptue live cooking show as the vendor taught me to prep fillets for ceviche.<br />
<br />
Here's a few snap shots from the video.<br />

Filmed this around Lobitos Lodge the past few weeks. We had a blast chasing everyone around with the camera. The one big barrel shot is of my friend Segundo. That day was absolutely firing. I remember standing up on the rocks at El Hueco shooting this and just loosing my mind!<br />
<br />
Big cheers to the amazing Kaiquin Castro Botto for helping me film/edit this. I would like to say I did most of it, but the truth is this was his baby.<br />
<br />
I'm hearing this song in my sleep now and it's driving me nuts. See more of Kaiquin's work at his latest project Eighty West <a href="http://www.eightywest.tv/">http://www.eightywest.tv/</a> The lucky bastard just set off for a month to shoot Puerto Escondido in Mex. Here's hoping he comes back alive.<br />
