It is known that from all the brazilian beaches Lopes Mendes is in the top list.
After arriving to Ilha Grande, you can choose two paths to this gorgerous beach, a 20 minute boat trip from Abraâo or a 3 hour adventure walk across the island.
Living the trekking across Ilha Grande got us the prize of arriving to this unique beach, surrounded only by nature and peace.
Ilha Grande, RJ, Brasil.
now with cozy kitties!

This cute little side dish is one of my favorites of my folks. The plate being over 50 years old, I'm surprised it has lasted this long without breaking. Enter me, about a month ago. Oops. But I was determined to fix it up and keep it. So I did. I 'mended' it as best as I could, and keep it forever I shall! :)
I tried to catch a candid portrait of infamous New York photographer Louis Mendes as I rounded the corner outside B&H Photo. I stuffed this up and it's a little soft but I love the pose, the expression and that Speed Graphic camera he's holding.
On the inside it is clear that this cabinet door has split and been repaired. From the outside the crack is almost invisible.
Our Daily Challenge: MENDED
While in the city 2 weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mendes, who was standing outside B&H Photo. When I passed him, I had to stop because he looked like a photo just waiting to be taken and I said so. He said - what are you waiting for, you get ONE shot. So... I opened up my backpack, and took exactly one shot. Here it is. Thanks, Mr. Mendes. For a photographer, you make an excellent model! :-)

Photographer Louis Mendes rides a historic New York subway car
The timing of our December 2015 visit to New York City coincided with a special event on the New York Subway system — a day when historic subway trains run along one Manhattan route. Our sons had told us about this before, and we all met up at the south end of the line to catch the first train. It is made up of a variety of cars — some from just before the vintage of the current trains and others from much further in the past. It is a big event, and by the time the second run began there were big crowds. (One fun thing was watching the looks of the faces of folks at stations who didn't know about this... as ancient subway trains rolled in and stopped to take on passengers.)
As I walked through one of the cars there was a big group of photographers, many of whom were using various vintage film cameras, some rigged up to work with modern electronic flash units. This fellow immediately caught my eye, and for a bunch of reasons. Many years ago I father had a camera almost exactly like his, and I thought it was the coolest thing back then. I also was taken by the contrast between his rig with his giant camera and multiple flash units, and what I use to shoot in circumstance like this today... a very small mirrorless system that works so well in low light than I never use flash. And I was pretty sure I recognized him, and thought that perhaps I had read about him somewhere. It was too crowded and noisy to talk, but I later figured out that he is street photographer Louis Mendes, who is well-known for photographing with this eclectic equipment in Manhattan. (I later ran into him again in front of the B&H store, and I later read an interview in which he said that is his "third favorite" location for photographing.)
