Outside of the surreal landscapes and amazing food, the people of Ecuador have been the best part of this trip . . . . . . . #travel #abroad #peoplewatching #photography #travelphotography #Ecuador #Quito #Banos (at Ecuador) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsSNjfFWdp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1laem26cl0gxo

A lot of people commented on my story and asked what this is... it’s a Guinea Pig. The locals call them Cuy (sp?) I have had it twice on this trip. Once on the street as pictured and the other time at a high end restaurant in Quito. It’s not bad at all. I’m trying to broaden my horizons 😀. On the street, it tasted kind of like rabbit. In the restaurant (last picture) it tastes more like duck. . . . . . . . . . . #eating #food #foodie #streetmeat #local #travel #eatingabroad #southamerica #comida #youonlyliveonce #blackbourdain (at Baños, Tungurahua, Ecuador) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnHnSulwRe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pukrushedtnr

I’ve never seen a man happier doing his job than this brother. I shot him in a market in Urdaneta City on the main island of Luzon in the Philippines. He chopped and cut fish all day, everyday, since he was a teenager. He was full of joy while dealing in blood and fish guts while probably making $4 dollars a day. His family and friends surrounded him and flooded him with laughter during his shift. It made me rethink my perspective on what I do for a living, how much I complained about bullshit and what it means to be happy. . . . . . #tbt #travel #photography #abroad #philippines #asia #passportlife #perspective #lightroom #shotoniphone #work #2014 #blackvoyageurs #travelnoire #othersideoftheworld (at Urdaneta, Pangasinan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFJmE7FaDy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gxuyscmj7xo6

For those that really want to ‘Make America Great Again’ they should do some reading. Specifically of the First Amendment/Bill of Rights. Where it states, in plain English-no less, that as an American, we have the right to protest, petition and assemble. We also have the freedom of the press. Thank you @nydailynews for calling out the hypocrites and cowards at the NFL . . . . . #maga #NFL #NFLboycott #imwithKap #newyork #journalism (at New York, New York)
