Rio de Janeiro. The Wall. My 6-7 weeks of shooting on BeachGames zine comes down to this wall. This is not a sequence, not a layout. Simply the best pictures up so I could walk around with a coffee or beer and study the images. To think about what works and what doesn’t . These selects will probably be cut by 50%. When I start the layout I will know for sure. It’s to be a zine not a book. For sure it’s a real life story. Not documentary in the traditional sense. Yet an authentic adventure or diary. This ends my shooting in Rio which started in 2010.. A NatGeo story (2012) and my book (based on a true story ) came out of this long immersion. Now my final BeachGames to be published this spring. Is this goodbye to Rio? Well for shooting probably yes. I have squeezed the lemon. Time to move on. However I will always return to see my Carioca friends who are so dear to me. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. No project I ever did ran this deep. The Wall. Life.

    I’ve been following and enjoying with great interest as usual your fun in a Rio. But I have to admit I’ve had a tough time seeing your Rio images in BW. I just can’t get used to it and I honestly can’t understand why.

  3. David I have enjoyed and been a bit awestruck by every post you have put up while doing beach games. Wonderful, unpretentious work and somehow always a fresh look at one of the most heavily documented spots in the world. I will, of course, buy the Zine. I look forward to it.
