When I made my video of our helicopter ride to the top of Corcovado, Solange took a bunch of photos. I combined these awesome photos with a new technology that I found on the web called Lytebox. It enables me to make a nice slide show with written comments on each picture. Making this slide show makes me remember all of the things that I love about Rio de Janeiro.
Me, two guys and three very beautiful girls decided to trek up to the top of Corcovado mountain in mid 2002. It was such a fun time, and I was just starting to experiment with my video camera.
