Tradewinds – Tri-Athlon

Swimmers

By now, I’m sure you all know that I’m a cyclist, not a swimmer and not a runner, but this past weekend, some of my good friends and team members were participating in their first Tri-Athlon and some were participating in their 3rd, 4th, 5th… You get the idea!!!!

Since I’m not a runner or swimmer, I thought it would be cool to come to cheer for them and also photograph, so I did. I showed up at the event pretty much at the same time they were getting there, some of them knew I was going, some of them didn’t, so I think it was a good surprised for them to see me there cheering and photographing them.

I certainly enjoyed photographing this event as I could feel the adrenaline as they were about to start and transition for the next course.

Below are just some of the pictures of this event – These are NOT FineArt and maybe not be Sports Illustrated material, but this post is NOT about the actual photograph, but the actual accomplishments that my friends made. I know for one that I wouldn’t do what they did. Not because I can’t run or swim, but because I won’t just DO them.

BTW – Special congratulations to Naomi – She got 1st place in the Athena category… Why is this so special? Because it was her first time participating and she totally ROCKED it!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them.

PALO! Promo Shots

PALO! is a Miami band that plays Afro-Cuban Funk!!! They have been playing for about 7 years and recently released their first CD called; “This is Afro-Cuban Funk” which is now for sale @ their performances.

On June 9th, I had the pleasure of photographing this Afro-Cuban FUNK band minutes before they got on stage at The Transit Lounge in Miami. I had a blast and they were so outgoing, fun, and relax bunch that anybody would love to spend not just a few minutes like we did, but actually hours!

You can learn more about Palo! by visiting their website at GOPALO.com or follow them on Twitter or Facebook

Band Members: Ed Calle, Raymer Olalde, Leslie Cartaya, Steve Roitstein, Philbert Armenteros
