Thank You Brazil - It was interesting...

My first trip to Brazil was interesting to say the least
16 Million people in 1 city = Madness!!
Crazy traffic
Crazy taxi drivers
Shoot outs between drug lords & cops
Machine gun fire
Burned out buses
Taxi crashing into another car

I will know what to expect on my next visit!

Would I come back to Sao Paulo...?

100% YES!!!

Blog 2 - test from mobile device

Just checking I can also blog from my iPhone

Elske Photography - Blog No1 from Sao Paulo!

So here we go, my first ever blog.
Thank you to all who are reading this - I plan to keep the first one short!
I am currently sitting in a hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  It is nearly 10pm here (1:35am in the UK).
This is an interesting city to say the least... 16 Million people, huge crime problem and not that happy to go out on the streets with the camera (especially at night). 

This is a HUGE problem if you are a photographer...!

 However, I think it is better to stay alive, not get mugged and come home (me and my gear) intact.

We all strive for that "killer shot" but it may be taken literally here!

One more day here then off back home to Scotland.

Really looking forward to getting home as I am (finally) taking a weeks vacation (in France)

My travel schedule has been mad over the past few months so a little down time with the nearest and dearest is long over due.

Loads of cool things going on just now:
Organising Help-Portrait Scotland Event - More on this in future Blogs

First drafts of Elske Online Magazine taking shape - Really excited about this one!
and....  well, you will have to read the next blog for the rest....!


I promise future blogs will be more interesting and I also promise to give something back to you, the reader.

 As always, Comments / Improvements / What you would like to read about here are all appreciated
