These are shots of a night of camping, once again at Krause Springs. There is a drum circle around a fire, and some playing with incandescent sticks to make the lines. They were shot in 35mm film, and my dear friend Kyle loaned his dark room and developed these. The confusing array of upside down people stems from overlaying a few different frames on the roll.

By the Moonlight
I have been wanting to try this for a while - leave long exposures open somewhere in the woods during a full moon and see what I get. I expected some sort of dim grayish landscape, but instead got a fully colored photo. Note that on the two last shots where trees are close to the camera, there is a red tint on them. This is from the campfire somewhere behind the camera. Also, on the open landscape (1st photo), the stars came out, creating the illusion of a starry daytime. These were taken around midnight.
Deep in the Night
A few shots taken late at night by Alexander river, in the Ocala National Forest. The exposures are a few seconds long (a little too long), and the only lighting comes from a truck (front and brake lights, such as the red in the first photo).On the second shot, you can see the bottom of this extremely clear spring fed creek.

If bears are a concern, a gigantic campfire can set you at ease ...

Texas Camping
Time lapse video of a cold night of camping at Krause Springs, in Spicewood, TX.
This one is dedicated to my new born niece, Nila, who came to this world yesterday in São Paulo.

Balão Antigo
The following paragraph from my (hopefully) forthcoming article explains the video:
The activity had been, technically speaking, criminalized under a 1934 forestry
code. The authorities, however, seldom enforced the law, doing so usually only when a
baloeiro stood out for some reason. As an example, the famous João Ely once made a
tribute balão to Walt Disney, who had recently died. Walt Disney company executives
went to Rio to film the launch. Due to the publicity, a court issued an injunction to Ely
telling him not to proceed. A Disney executive contacted the U.S. embassy, which
mobilized a variety of local politicians to achieve a compromise in order to allow Ely to
launch the tribute balão tethered to the ground. Ely did not keep his end of bargain, since
the notion of tethering a balão would seem sacrilegious to baloeiros, and released the
Disney balão in the presence of a distinguished crowd of politicians, embassy
functionaries, Disney executives and even local police chiefs who came to watch the
launch. Despite Ely’s indiscretion of disobeying official orders, they applauded it. (Bueno and Patrocínio, Balão, Paixão Inexplicável , 108-110)
