This could be my last GREAT adventure. My first great adventure was 36 years ago—it almost killed me. Sadly, there have been no great adventures in the interim—plenty of minor adventures, mind you—but this one is truly going to be GREAT!
I’ve got my passport and visa. I’ve been vaccinated for yellow fever, typhoid, and Hepatitis A. My malaria preventative medication is packed with my gear. I am headed to Brazil with Ron Speed, Jr., a former student of mine from the teaching years, who has invited me to go with him to take pictures on one of his highly touted fishing tours. I don’t know much about it, but he tells me it is the most beautiful place in the world. It will be my job to document that beauty and bring it back for use on his website, promotional brochures, and the like. For someone who has specialized in “people” photography for over 30 years, this will be my photographic adventure of a lifetime.
Shoot, this country boy (I’m still a boy at heart) has never even been out of the states, if you don’t count a few very short day visits to Juarez, Mexico. So this is big stuff for me. I’m like a kid waiting for Christmas. Ronny, you look a lot like Santa Claus.
