Here are some clips from my latest trip, sailing up the Amazon. First, I juggled on either side of the equator, near the city of Macapa. The middle part is from a stop at a small village, and I put on an impromptu show for all the kids, which lasted way longer than I show [...]

There is also a football stadium with each half of the field in either hemisphere. I’ve crossed the Equator many times, but only on planes and ships. Stepping across it, or even [...]

Devil’s Island, French Guyana. It’s a tiny island, once a French prison, and now full of monkeys, parrots, and other wildlife. The Prinsendam from the island. Looking across to another small island. Monkey! Monkey! Parrot! More parrots. Feeding parrots. Monkey! What the hell is this animal? Leaves. Branches. Old windows. Playing with my strobe. Me.
