Night swim
Rio de Janeiro. One of my friends and workshop “fixer” Flavia Davies takes a night swim on Ipanema. Beaches are often crowded here at night. It’s often just too hot in the day. #beachgames #Rio #Ipanema
Rio is Over
Rio de Janeiro. It’s over. Done. I still have a day or so to be here to finish my BeachGames zine, yet I know I’m done. It’s a let down to come out of the zone. Drug addict. So I will need another fix as soon as I can. Yet now I must flip. Go …

Rio de Janeiro. I just have to love all of the beach workers and sellers in Rio. An interesting cast of characters all around who let you know what they are selling yet do not over hustle. No matter how crowded the beaches here, one can always get a chair and a caipirinha fast. …
