León Salas is the most shy yet energetic three year old I’ve meet in Chile. Max, León’s father, (I know León’s name should be Max), has been an amazing help for Samantha and I while we’ve been in Puerto Natales. Not only has he kept our bellies full by taking us to eat at his amazing pizzeria, Mesita Grande, but he has also helped with every detail as we photograph his good friend Adan.
Jeff, Mike and I are at the base of the Calbuco Volcano at Alfredo Salas and Nicole Barriaux’s home in Puerto Varas. They were nice enough to make us a wonderful homemade dinner complete with homemade bread. After dinner, while we were doing our video logs… (yes, we are actually doing them) Alfredo made us his own creation: a Chilean Mojito. Instead of mint, he uses special limes from the north that have a surprisingly minty taste when combined with pisco… by far the best pisco drink in Chile.

We rented a car and drove from Santiago to Puerto Varas, one of the most beautiful cities in Chile. The drive was long and tough, but beautiful. We drove through the wine country and through Concepción, the second largest city. After 1,300 kilometers of driving we found ourselves at a hostel at the base of a snow covered volcano and surrounded by two others. These are just a few photos of the time we spent at our mid-term as we caught up with our group and shared our experiences thus far.
Quite a few of my photos from the Rock of Life Concert were published on a Chilean web site!!!
The Rock For Life Tribute Concert that Samantha and I shot yesterday was published today online. The photos might also be printed in a National Chilean Newspaper so keep your fingers crossed :)

Yesterday Samantha and I shot the second ever Rock For Life concert in Santiago, Chile. More then 15,000 people showed up to this free benefit concert to promote pro life. There were six tribute bands that performed including; U2, The Doors, Rolling Stones, AC DC, Guns & Roses, and Pearl Jam.
Constanza Olave is the cutest girl I’ve ever met… Jeff and I kept fighting over who could get the best photo of her. I think I won with this one.
