A Team Effort

Brunela’s, originally uploaded by booshclown.

As some of you may know I have been traveling for the last 3 months in a couple of different countries. I had both a digital and a film camera.

Now the rewards of a digital camera are great. You pay nothing to develop film. They are on the internet within hours and friends, family and strangers have seem them by morning. If that’s reward imagine 3 months of film patiently waiting to be developed upon returning home. I love this the most about film. I march into Walgreens with a system down. I let the lady know about the “circular” pictures and that they need to be centered in every shot. Do they manage to still screw up half my shots? YES! horrid.

So here’s shot number one. On location in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. A block from surf, 6 dollars a night and a fridge full of beer thats run on the honor system. All this and you pay when you leave. Oh… and 500 channels on DirectTV to keep you in touch with life back in the states.

After 2 years and finally returning to Costa Rica, this place is now a fortress. When I first visited Brunela’s back in 2005 it was a 4 room surf shack with big intentions. Who knows, maybe in another 2 years this place is going to have a waterslide and kiddy pool?

Big Ups to Juan at Brunela’s!
