Argentina in Images

Here is a mega post with some of my favourite shots from Argentina so far.

It's been a blast!

Exposicion Rural

Here are some photographs of the event in Buenos Aires that I'll be photographing for www.ShowChampions.com. Landing Tuesday morning - stoked!

T-A...N-G-O

I only wish I could edit and produce videos like this. It certainly gives me some ideas though.

Things I Look Forward To...

... in Buenos Aires

The colourful Boca neighborhood

Felix store in Palermo - One of Buenos Aires' finest streetwear stores

Locals doing the Tango at the San Telmo Market on Sundays

The busy streets in the San Telmo market.

The crazy nightlife that BA has to offer.

Test Shot

Downtown Calgary - Stephen Avenue Mall with my new SD780 IS. Cross processed.

Cowboy Dave

Me, doing the pensive cowboy look at the Calgary Stampede while on photography duty. Those boots and the hat are for real yo! Kudos to Krystle for the picture.

~ Notice the red G-shock, haha.

Welcome to the Family

Today I welcome a new addition to my camera collection. This little rascal is the new Canon SD780 IS with HD 720 video. I'll be taking this down to Buenos Aires to shoot a little footage here and there.

Of course it's in matte black. Gangster.

Sneak Peak

Curve is preparing for a little side-project that is going to launch early next week. I've called it Dave in Argentina (very uninspiring title, but it gets the job done). This will be a little side blog to document my adventures, photographs and videos from the capital of Argentina - Buenos Aires. I'm not visiting simply for pleasure. I actually have a photo assignment at the Palermo Livestock Show. I'm currently lacking a lot of the details, but I'm really looking forwarding to getting some great stills and video, as well as taking our ShowChampions Inc. platform truly international. Plus I get to hang out in Buenos Aires for a few days so you can be sure that I'll be out in full force with my camera.

Although I travel over 100 days a year - mostly to the US, it's been a while since I've been international like this. Last trip being my around the world trip in 2006. It's safe to say that I've caught the travel bug once again and I'm excited about my maiden voyage to South America. Stay tuned as I continue to set up the second site and preview my trip with some inspiring images from Argentina.

I know the whole fix gear thing has taken off recently, but these are some badass bicycles. Kudos to all the artists and the Livestrong team for getting it done. All of them are nice, but I can't deny the KAWS wheels above. For more info on all the bikes, visit

Woolrich Woolen Mills FW09

Trying to catch up on a few of the collections that have caught my eye the past little while. The more I see of Woolrich Woolen Mills, the more I am inspired by the rugged outerwear that they bring to the table. Love the diversity of fabrics here and everything looks so comfortable. Those red and blue jackets are definitely on my radar.

Asos Fall 2009

Wow, great collection from Asos. Everything is on point here. Especially those jackets.
