A few of my friends, Troy (Foggodyssey) and Marcello (Wandering Trader) are on a 10-day photography road trip with Mikey (Lightenupandshoot). They posted this video in the midst of their adventures. I’ll be sharing more…
Help Portrait Medellin 2011
This video captures a photo-charity project lead by my buddy Troy Floyd. Help Portrait Medellín 2011 from Katie Hudson. The concept is simple: it’s comprised of photographers and volunteers who want to come together and…
Lightenupandshoot Parkour
I discovered Mikey and Andy, the photography duo behind Lightenupandshoot, late last year before I had to leave Colombia. Aside from their funny videos and laid back approach toward teaching photography, they spend part…
Photo Essay: Christmas Lights in Medellin
I previously shared the lights of Envigado in December, so let’s head north to the display set up by Medellin along the river that runs through the city. This is the real epicenter of holiday decorations in the valley,…
Photo Essay: Envigado in December
“Wow” was my first reaction upon seeing Envigado in December. I’d never seen anything like the lights strung above the streets. Since all Colombian cities, towns, and pueblos feature a main square, it’s possible to have…
Colombian Street Food
Colombian street food is heavy on the calories, salt, and fat, however there is something for everyone. Fresh fruits can keep you cool, while the richness of arepas with cheese and butter can quickly become addictive.

Video – Colombia: A Year in Photos
Robin from The Arepa put together a great video of photos from the past year. If I knew how to edit video, I’d be doing the same!
Photo of the Week – Me and My Personal Trainer
Camilo was not shy about pushing me to work hard at Dinamo, the gym a few blocks from Maira’s apartment in Envigado. On the other hand, I’ve gotten several compliments since returning home, so apparently all the hard…
Photo of the Week – The Cow Across the Street
Go to Sabaneta on a Friday night and you might run into a few horses tied up on the street outside a bar while their owners enjoy a cold one. Roll past Palmanova Apartments in Envigado where I was living, and you’ll see…
Video: Sunday Afternoon Graffiti
It seems Robin over at The Arepa is a multimedia juggernaut! Not only is he starting up the city’s only English-language nightlife guide, he’s good with a camera and editing videos! I’ve taken some shots of graffiti…
Visiting the Museo de Arte Moderno
Update: This post was written based on a visit to the old location of the museum. You can read about my visit to it’s new location here. Visiting the Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellin (MAMM) has been on my “to-do” list…
Photo of the Week – Homero Restaurant
Colombians love The Simpsons, and I saw this restaurant named after Homero on the bus ride back from paragliding in San Felix.
Photo of the Week – Mountain Views
I look out the windows of my (Maira’s) apartment often. The weather pattern can be constant for weeks at a time, but within each day, you can have a wide range of conditions. The last two months have been part of the…
Photo Section Added
I added another new feature to the blog – a photo page. Unlike my Medellin sets on Flickr, these photos are hand-picked and represent the best shots I’ve taken. I have two albums – both viewable via automated slideshow.…
Photo of the Week
I think this photo sums up my view of the world for 3-4 hours per day, 6 days per week. It is the fancy, modern laptop I use at the copy shop across the Las Vegas Avenue entrance to EAFIT. A large screen makes blog…
Photos of the Week
David’s (Mexico) willingness to forward my teaching advertisement via e-mail to friends and peers lead to my first regular private student. Just yesterday, he mentioned another person he knows might be calling me soon.…
Photos Of The Week
Choosing to end my trip around the world by settling into Medellin means I am going from taking 1,000 photos a month to just a few dozen. The details of life here, and the urban landscape, continue to emerge for me.…
