It’s been far too long since I’ve put up a new blog post, but it’s also been far too long since I’ve been in the country! I’m currently down in Chile, shooting skiing in various regions of the Chilean Andes. Conditions are spring-like, with beautiful sunny skies and colorful sunsets. It’s a bit strange to not be waking up super early to shoot sunrise, but the snow is so firm and frozen that you have to wait for it to soften up to even ski it reasonably well.

The landscape down here is enormous, and certainly overwhelms the senses at times. One thing I’ve fallen in love with is the intense calm that occurs in the mountains just as the sun sets. It’s an unbelievably serene feeling, and one that really brings you to communion with nature. I’m looking forward to posting several complete blog posts upon my return. Until then, I’ve sprinkled just a few teaser images in this post!

While you’re at it, why not jump over the border and visit Argentina? You will love Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes, and its amazing surroundings.
I love the area and visit it yearly (usually in summer, though), plus I have some family living over there.
It’s a photographer’s paradise, I can assure you that.
Regards,
Santiago
Hey Santiago–
Thanks for checking out the blog. I would have loved to visit Argentina, but it wasn’t in the cards this time. Hopefully next time for sure!
Ooh! I’m jealous. I visited Portillo on my mission and I’ve dreamed of going back with skis. Great pictures.

You need to get back there. And I need an interpreter…
Thanks to you for sharing your articles. I enjoy them… have set you up in my Google Reader and read through when I have time.
If you come back, and need an assistant + interpreter, let me know! I’d love to tag along and help out. Who knows… we may work out a win/win situation there!
