Photos From Peru

This slideshow is composed of 212 original images out of more than 6,500 photos I shot in Peru in the first half of November of 2007. These images where captured in Lima, Paracas, Nazca, Chilhuanca, Cusco, Urubamba, Machu Pichu, Aguas Caliente, Pilcopata, Atalaya, and Manu.

These images were captured with either my new Canon EOS 40D, or my old Canon EOS 20D. 10 days into my vacation to Peru, I dropped my brand-new-two-week-old Canon EOS 40D camera and Canon EF 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens into a natural volcanic hot water spring by the river while bathing. Doh!

For this trip, I had my own Suzuki 4x4, and my a private driver (thanks, Chino!). In the jungle, 16 meter boat, my own private boat captain (Boris), my own cook (Rosana), and my own private jungle guide (Wilbert, aka Tarzan). This is the way to see Peru. :)

This slideshow (17:35) is an 74 Meg self-playing executable named peru.exe created using Imagematics StillMotion PE+. The soundtracks are:

9 Crimes by Damine Rice, off of 9.
Love of the Loveless by the Eels, off of Shootenanny!.
On A Day Like Today by Keane, off of Hopes and Fears!.
I Want To Believe You by Lori Carson & Paul Haslinger, off of the Crazy/Beautiful soundtrack.

If you have an Apple, or you're running Unix, or if you're nervous about running a .exe file from my site, then click here to download the Macromedia Flash version. The resolution is not quite as good on the Macromedia Flash version, and you can't pause and go backward and forward, but it loads faster, and it's a fairly decent presention.

Update: These photos are very rough, and could all use some work. When I find some time, I'll go back and clean up these images so they aren't so awful. Many were shot without filters in the middle of the day. But, hey, what do you want for free?

Lyrics: Damien Rice - 9 Crimes lyrics
Album: 9

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
With you.

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
[ 9 Crimes lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
But she's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

EELS LYRICS

"Love Of The Loveless"

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone
I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless

All around you people walking
Empty hearts and voices talking
Looking for and finding
Nothing

Don't got a lot of time
Don't really care
Not selling anything
Buyer beware
If there's a god up there
Something above
God shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless

Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
Love of the loveless

On A Day Like Today Lyrics
Artist(Band):Keane

On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky
I saw you
were sick And tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
the way I feel I'd really love to tell you
But I
could never seem to say
the things I needed to
On a day like today
no other words would do

I saw you
were sick And tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
the way I feel I'd really love to tell you

But I can never find the words to say
and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
and I don't know why
and I don't know why
and I don't know why
and I don't know why
I saw you
were sick and tired of my wrong turns
if only you knew
the way I feel I'd really love to tell you
but I can never find the words to say
and I don't know why
I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
and I don't know why

Lori Carson & Paul Haslinger - I Want To Believe You lyrics / Crazy/Beautiful soundtrack

I want to believe you.
I want to believe in us.
When everything is wrong
will you come through?
I want to believe you.
I want to believe you.
I want to believe in us.
When everything is wrong
will you come through?
will you come through?
will you come through?
When everything is wrong?
I want to believe you.
I want to believe in us.
When everything is wrong
will you come through?
I want to believe you.
I want to believe you.
When everything is wrong
will you come through?
Will you come through?
Will you come through?
Will you come through?
