rio filho!

soooooooo, way back in march, i went on a spectacular 2-week vacation to south america with some friends to see the radioheads...and do other stuff. it was amazing - everywhere you looked in rio and buenos aires was a phototunitiy. (sao paulo was another matter, but i digress.) and i shot some photos...600 or so...really good ones...of really beautiful places...but no one believes me because no one other than me has seen them. because since i've been back, i've taken a million pictures...of lovely people and events...who have paid us money to do so and expect their photos in a timely fashion. but that fact hasn't stopped the chorus of "WHEN ARE WE GUNNA SEE RIO PICTURES???" messages i've been getting from pretty much everyone i know. so, yesterday morning my brain clicks awake waaaaaaaay too early. and instead of diving into work pics, i decided to make a quick run through the vakay pics to quell the masses. so, here are 6...594 to go.
