Time Lapse Brazil x Berlin
Very cool time-lapse video around Berlin, from Brazilian photographer Luis Veiga. He’s also done a similar film using images shot in his native land, which you can watch right about here.

The Tenth Commandment
[via Eyes on Brazil, appropriately enough] Perhaps in an ideal world this wouldn’t be how Barack Obama chose to interact with Brazilian culture. But I suppose we should be grateful that he’s trying… Now what is it they say about coveting thy neighbour’s ass? [Update: this video seems to show that El Presidente was actually just [...]
