How I Survived the Hurricane called Oli
written by vicuna on 2010-02-22 #placesFor the very first time in my life I experienced a hurricane. It was Hurricane Oli that came over Raiatea island the 3rd of February 2010. And as it occurred exactly at the time of my stage of the LC-A race, I couldn't avoid to take some pictures and share this experience with you in a location, even if the hurricane in itself isn't a "real" location....

Nightlife in Raiatea???
written by vicuna on 2010-02-23 #placesAs for the LC-A race location at least one is needed to be about "Night and Music Delirium (bar, view, park)" I thought myself, wow, this one will be hard to find for my stage locations about Raiatea Island..... let's say it short: there is absolutely NO NIGHTLIFE on Raiatea.... :( But perhaps I could find a good place to shoot at night...?

Tevaitoa
written by vicuna on 2010-02-21 #placesThere's one very special place on Raiatea I'd like to show you: it's located in the village of Tevaitoa on the west coast.

On the same place you can find a marae, a protestant church and a battlefield of and ultimate fight against the french army in 1897...

The Sea Swimming Pool of Uturoa
written by vicuna on 2010-02-20 #placesGoing to the swimming pool is always cool, but I don't like it when the place is closed and smelling strong chemicals... open air pools are much better, but the chemicals in the water are still there... and what about an open air swimming pool that is open on the beautiful waters of a logoon? That's what I want to show you now, the open air sea-pool of Uturoa!

The Old Photo Booth at The Ace Hotel
written by strangelilgirl on 2009-08-24 #placesA photographer’s paradise! For all us old school, black & white lovers, this photo booth is NOT for the faint of heart. This is NOT one of those cheesy sticker photo booths that you’ll find in the mall, nor is it the rip off sitting in your local movie theater lobby; this is the real deal!
