Previous | Next :: Sleeping Man Giant Tree : Sau Paulo : Brazil | January 13, 2009, 9:45 pm

So the flight down from NYC to Brazil is 10 hours or so.......... luckily we were upgraded ....... so we flew over night in luxury..... thanks to Continental

We got in at about 11AM today........ Greg proved himself to be a fully assimilated American as he can hardly drive a manual car..... so funny...... only being able to drive an automatic is such as US thing how bizarre for a Brit!!!! .... hehehehehe

Then we just strolled out in the locality of our hotel...... Sau Paulo proved a pretty friendly place.

I shot the above guy sleeping in the roots of this amazing tree...... he never woke but others came to chat while I shot this image and all the people we met were receptive to having their pictures made.

We walked until in the end we were completely lost...... we just could not work out how to walk back to the hotel...... we even looked at pictures of the horizon and buildings we had previously shot near our hotel to remind ourselves what they looked like........ in some of these pics was a big blue building and as we stared at the real thing from a distance we tried to work out were it was in relation to our hotel...... in the end it became clear the blue building was our hotel.... hehehe :-)

Thunder and lightening are making it interesting outside my hotel window ........ but Id better sleep...... JE our Mega Art Director extraordinaire flies in from London tomorrow at 6-45AM....... we then need to take another internal flight then get on with the actual shoot.

Cheers Jez XX

PS.........The hotel just got struck by lightening...... knocking out all the power...... but we seem to be back in business...... for a bit...... but the storm is pretty heavy duty.
