    Guy, I’m a friend of fellow photographer Kevin Jairaj. Thank you for sharing your travels through your photos and especially your blog. You need to write a book! What a profound post. Be safe. P.S. From one person to another who gets car sick driving on winding roads…..if available, club soda with a few drops of bitters over ice. It works wonders.

    Guy Rhodes. Omg. I am in love with your posts. Your words are as illustrative as your images. You capture not only what is amazing about Rio but also about the profession of journalism. I cannot wait for the next one. Stay safe and keep them coming.

    Hi, terrific captures. What was the data, speed,exposure, iso etc of the images of the shots of the fireworks in the Maracana stadium. And weren’t your really worried about entering the Favela with your equipment ? Thanks for sharing your images.

    Most of the fireworks images were somewhere around 200 ISO,
