Ep 1R: Recap – Peru
Peru was the first stop on our journey and an absolutely perfect way to start the trip. Instead of jumping right into the adventure, we started off with “a week of no plans”. From there, we experienced Lima, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Cusco. Every stop was great, but this leg of the trip was…

#GrafNModels – South America
<< Click here for the photos >> One of the threads that ties all of my trips together is finding graffiti in every city I visit. Hip-hop culture is worldwide and finding graffiti everywhere I go allows me to experience the culture in a variety of contexts. Several years ago, I started GrafNModels.com, which has…

Peru – Artists
< Click here to see the photos > In order to understand a new country as well as possible, we usually take advantage of cultural opportunities when we can. Walking around is cool. Visiting museums is fine, but gets tiresome. Live performances give you a different feel for the energy being created because you are…

Peru – Nature & Scenes
< Click here to see the photos > It’s always special to try pushing outside of your comfort zone. When people ask me “What types of photos do you take?” I sometimes share what I *like* doing. Usually, I say “Not architecture and not landscapes!”. That’s mostly because I never “see” the world in a…

Peru – People
< Click here to see the photos > When I first started doing travel photography, I’d take my zoom lens and “snipe” people from a distance. It’s always fun to try capturing the mood of the day by catching people acting 100% natural. We did a ton of walking in Peru and I had my…

Peru – Inca & Indigenous Influence
< Click here to see the photos > After the recording stopped, Santi suggested that I read the The Last Days of the Incas by Kim MacQaurrie. I was finishing a pretty boring book that took me forever, so I started the Inca book a bit late (like the day before we left). In fact,…

Peru – Animals
< Enjoy the pics by clicking here > Even though nobody mentioned animals, I have to admit. This was also a cool part of the trip. There are three different scenes (clearly) in this gallery. We went to a spot in Cusco named Millmas where they raised some Alpacas for their wool. They have a…

Peru – The Models
Enjoy the photos by clicking here! While in Cusco, I had some time before we went out for dinner. Although I started while we were together, the lady went back to the hotel and left me in the Plaza to keep going. Using a screen grab of a google translate “ask”, I found several people…

Peru – The Food!
< See the photos on my website by clicking here > Peru. When I spoke with Santi, “the food” was one of the things he mentioned. Food came up in nearly all of the 10 interviews I’ve done so far. There’s just something about “home cooking” that you just can’t get when you’re away. …

Ep 1: Peru – Santi’s Home
We’re going to start our journey in Peru. It’s been on my list of places to visit for a long time, mostly because I’ve wanted to see Machu Picchu. I’m not a camper, so you won’t see me hiking the Inca trail though. However, the more I learned about Peru, the more I look forward…
“My Home is Special” is a Photo/ Podcast project that explores different “homes” and what makes them special.
