some lost classics

from the archives...

the blurriness, the huge piece of casi-raw beef, eds look of pure ecstasy... a winner

there seems to be a theme of incredibly cute little kids of late... in contention for the cutest little girl in the world. and what a stylish headlamp. she was convinced that whenever it was off i couldnt see her.
subi meandered up through the andes towards chile but alas, the howling 'white wind' and the pursuing snowstorm would prevent crossing the border for over a week...

kept the subi, my cozy little home, insulated quite well for the long haul

so the border crossing to chile opened up and i stormed for the frontera passing thousands of trucks that were caught in limbo and bouncing off snowbanks to reach the border minutes before closing for the night. i told them a cow had broken the windshield and showed them the beef i had cooked on the front seat and told them it was the last of the tender stuff from that damn cow. judging by the huge crowd that gathered... i think i was officially the craziest person they had ever seen
a moment of tranquility before the dash to the border... that sign marks the base on mt aconcagua at 6959 meters. thats really high. the tallest peak outside of the himalayas and high enough to ignite some colors that a photo could never do justice..

and we're in chile.. a great man once described this place, "There is nothing here. I can't even find a place to buy a towel. I had to walk five blocks uphill to this internet place and it's about 50 degrees in here and the computers wheeze like old men sleeping and they're dusty and the woman who runs the place is missing teeth. Fucking bonita is what it is." bonita in this case means tremendisimo. one of the more tranquil little towns on earth. the boys who you will see below rented a little house with the view you see above... the sun set and lit up the towns smorgasbord of colors and pods of dolphins would churn the water near the point below...
