Stay or go, move or grow…  Every day I make a new <em>plan</em> for 2013, but like everything I don’t get too attached to it so by dinner my year is playing out completely different than it was at breakfast.  All my little thoughts, goals and aspirations keep sprouting up like little wildflowers, new and different, multiplying and gathering into bunches.  I wonder which will be picked and admired, which ones will be watered, which ones will wait and grow again next year..</p> <p>The photo above was taken in Yallahs, Jamaica in 2010.  This farmer was overjoyed to share his spot in the shade with me while he took a midmorning break.  He spent so much time in the fields that he built a permanent little oasis, complete with a hammock, in the shade near his crops.    </p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/38390295964http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/38390295964Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:55:55 +0700Jamaicayallahstravelfarmfarmernestart2013plans<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6bd057cb30a6fb100a2ff2585068f539/tumblr_mf1345V0WY1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taoist elements are the praise of quietism, seclusion, and an austerely simple life-style; and the belief that softness is stronger than hardness.</p> <p>a quote that stood out to me, from ‘Siddhartha’ by Hermann Hesse</p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37911577937http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37911577937Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:00:05 +0700snailslowquietsecludedalonesimplesoftstrongHermann Hessesiddharthabraziltravelsouth americaavarelook closelynature<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bb17a3a5fba53647bd8e05f745d9a898/tumblr_mezl4d143t1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37851631405http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37851631405Fri, 14 Dec 2012 03:33:48 +0700south americatravelbrazilPunch buggyfuscacolorfulavarestreet photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2253ed7c463bcf5a9501e32c06d8175e/tumblr_mevpponsIn1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Punch buggys are known as fuscas here and they are  e v e r y w h e r e .  It’s so great to see something you love around every corner.  I taught my Brazilian friend the punch buggy game [red punch buggy - no punch back] and he’s been abusing it ever since.</p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37724233513http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/37724233513Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:22:35 +0700punch buggyfuscaredgreentravelbrazilsouth americaavare<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_medgdn38mV1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>peace, love & sisters.</p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36979163419http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36979163419Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:44:11 +0700brazilsouth americatravelexploreparkssistersartmurals<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mec4zl2ThZ1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It still amazes me how something so simple can reach out and grab me, like a glass of water sitting on the windowsill of a home in Jamaica.  Photographs have the power to freeze time forever and no one knows this more than the photographer that snapped the shot.  It was a pretty perfect day in Jamaica. I was tagging along as a friend visited different farms for his job when we stopped to talk to a woman who made her own Jamaican jerk sauce.  I told her I wanted to photograph her making the sauce for a personal project of mine.  She ended up getting pretty angry and basically telling me that I was ripping her off, so I told her never mind.  There wasn’t anything in it for me, it really was just a personal project.  As I walked away, thinking the trip was somewhat of a waste, I took this photo and to this day it’s one I always think of when I remember those two lazy months on the southern side of the island.  In the midst of dust and dirt a clean glass of water. a pure intention. nothing more, nothing less. </p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36930502268http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36930502268Sat, 01 Dec 2012 11:40:33 +0700jamaicatravelyallahwatersimpleintentionsgood and evilpower of photographymemories<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_meaxw4Wpmr1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sao Paulo Train Station.  </p> <p>We’re always on our way to or from somewhere.  Stop for a moment and enjoy the space you’re inhabiting right now. </p>http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36877074835http://schuter.tumblr.com/post/36877074835Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:09:00 +0700south americabrazilsao paulosao paulo train stationtrainhistoryoldfancypeoplemovingtransportationtravelcity life<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me978isQrp1qcmlr4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
