la dolce vita

I suddenly feel very exotic, just wish I could read this.


Update #2:
Thanks to Bia, I now have a much more eloquent translation...

"This terrible rain that devastated Sao Paulo today caused me, besides the traditional "gray day" lazyness that asks for a comforter, a strong desire for summer. And that's how, in a Beach Boys vibe, that I caught myself thinking about California, about its colours and shapes, its retro vibe beaches with merry-go-rounds and ice-cream shacks painted light hues...

I was reading my favourite blogs, that I frequently read and I came across this amazing american photographer, who portrays landscapes that have this sunny American Way of Life mood, kind of dusty, with fading colours and some sort of nostalgic feeling.

Although it is in Kansas, a state which is more famous for The Wizard of Oz than for beaches, the images of Mike Sinclair could perfectly have been come out of a surf movie from the 60s.

I share them with you so we can cheer up this winter a little bit, which is more londonlike than tropical, and who knows, the sun encourages itself to show up..."


Update:
Here is the auto translation from the Portuguese...

It was stroll us my blogs of estimation, that I am going to read with frequency and I found that incredible American photographer, that portrays fairly landscapes that has that footprint American Way of Life sunny, dusty a little, with colors faded and a certain air of nostalgia.

Despite of it be of the Kansas, more famous state by the Magician of Oz than by the beaches, the images of Mike Sinclair perfect could have left of a film of surfing of the years 60.

I divide with you for see we cheer a little that winter, that is more for londoner than tropical, and, who knows like this, the sun is encouraged it come back it appear...

Momba Riders



In the summer of 2001 I spent several Saturday nights photographing people as they waited to ride a roller coaster called the Momba.

I just posted a few of those pictures here.

Happy 4th.
