Marty’s photo of the day #4357: This is one of my favorite photos from my first trip to Peru. I was in Iquitos and went for a walk after a rainstorm. I spotted these children playing with a soccer ball in a flooded street―just having a blast. When I aimed my camera, the children spotted […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4025: This is the town square of Iquitos, Peru. Shot at night, using the infrared setting on my camera.
Marty’s photo of the day #3624: When Deb and I traveled all seven continents, there were multiple times when we were the only white people around. In all such instances, the residents greeted us with smiles. While I can’t say it would change every Republican, I do think more would stop fearing/hating/resenting brown people if […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3239: This is how right-wingers saw themselves when they did their cosplay stunt at the Michigan Capitol on Thursday. Oh, wait! Wrong photo. These men have brown skin, so it can’t be cosplay. Let me look it up in the Right-Wing Rule Book (Fox News Edition). Okay, here it is: […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3013: I can’t believe it! Deb and I have been married 35 years as of today. This is one of my favorite photos of her, and here’s why: I could never be married to a woman who wasn’t intelligent, outspoken, brave, and adventurous. I wish you could have seen how […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2728: This photo is for those who have had their hearts ripped out, witnessing children of asylum-seekers, crying in pain, due to Donald Trump’s tear gas. Here are some children from south of the border, just being kids, and having a great time. (Photographed in Iquitos, Peru)
Marty’s photo of the day #2645: Shall we rustle up some grub for a barbecue? Literally? Enjoy your long weekend and remember: being open-minded to other cultures is a good thing. (Photographed in Iquitos, Peru)
Marty’s photo of the day #2592: Today’s photo certainly isn’t the prettiest one I’ve posted, but it provides the answer to a question that’s difficult to answer without local help: What do the rooftops look like in Iquitos, Peru? Luckily, Deb and I befriended a motorcar taxi driver, who took us to the parent’s house […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2239: I stood on the roof of a house, in the Belén District of Iquitos, Peru, to take this photo. This is the poor section of town, as it is on the Amazon River floodplain. Just to the left is the Amazon River.
Marty’s photo of the day #2234: I took this photo as Deb and I departed Iquitos, Peru to commence a 70 mile-long journey down the Amazon River to a research station. Iquitos has a population of 300,000 people, and there are no roads in or out of the city. The only way to get to […]
