More Sao Paulo street art
I’ve just returned from a great trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil. While there I mentioned on the World Hum blog that I had become fascinated by photographing some of the graffiti in Sao Paulo. The previous post includes some of my favorite images, and I thought I’d include some more images, below. Enjoy!

Back to Brazil
Next week I’ll be headed back to Brazil for 10 days, visiting my girlfriend and her family in their home of Sao Paulo. I’m excited to hang out in the biggest city in the Southern Hemisphere for a while.
