Cusco peru: Trying to ignore the altitude while drinking mate de coca.

The coolest gang I ever laid eyes on.

A game of hide and go seek!!

Thats hanging in my living room.

Babe the pig is now an x-pat in peru. And so are his kids.

Pisac is where the hippies go to do intoxicated soul searching. It didn’t work on me though. I guess my soul has been searched already.

The clouds would cover it, and it would disappear. I see why it took so long to discover.

I took this for Mindy’s mom.

And I took this for me.

This one is for Mindy’s mom and me at the same time.

Guinea pigs in Peru are really cute but…

They eat guinea pigs in Peru.

New Years in Cusco.

A tourist from the Matrix showed up.

A beautiful wedding on new years eve. 2012 welcomes you.

A month ago I started working on a project about my friend Dashaun Evisu, a Vogue Ball Room MC and Vogue Fem dancer. I was quickly thrown into the vogue scene, going to gay bars where the vogue balls went down, and I got enthralled in the vibrant history. I became obsessed and wanted to know everything. I watched Paris is Burning and only found myself getting more and more into it. Now I’m a dancer who wins every competition in NYC. JK, you thought that is where this story was going though, right? RIGHT? I wish. The dance is incredibly hard to do. Way more than putting frames around your face with your hands at different angles like Mandonna. I tried a few moves on my hard wood floor which led to arm pain, and then a few dips on my bed, which led to back pain. I told Dashaun I have been trying to dip and that maybe I can help him out at his dance class and he said, “Danilo, Oh my god, Noooooo, your gonna break your neck,” and he began to laugh. Maybe I won’t be a vogue dancer, or vogue expert, but I made a short film that will maybe inspire you to give it a shot.

And here are some pictures I took during the shoot.
