so, after, well, 4 years (since starting at iu), i would guess, i have finally arrived to altamira to start my fieldwork. it is hot here, 28C at 8pm, and no wind. thankfully, my friend paula was at the airport - amazing to see a friendly face in a sea of unfamiliar. fortunately, the flight from belém took us over the amazon river, or part of it at least, and some of the remaining bits of forest, though even tonight, some of the forest is being changed as week speak (notice the burned area - it was clearer from the plane window). finally, a blurry nighttime descent into altamira, over the city. the plane window was scratched and dirty, but i think that adds some nice roughness to the images.

altamira. seemingly the same, a few differences. we shall see in the daylight.
