LIVESAY COMBAT KNIVES from Newt Livesay

GETTING THERE ~ TARAPOTO PERU from Newt Livesay

A series of images about the mountain city of Tarapoto, Peru at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. This area is the high jungle where the best coffee plants are grown, fine Cuban seed tobacco for hand rolled cigars, grapes vineyards, ice cold beer, beautiful women, great food, and wonderful people. This is also is an area where Coca Plants abound and as such the narcotic trade does a thriving business in the jungles around this area and to the north. It was only a very few years ago that bandits still carried AK47 in the streets in and around this city. Great place to visit, and it would not be a bad place to live if you wanted a warm summers, and mild winter climate of the mountains.

FALLING IN LOVE ~ LILIANA from Newt Livesay

This was the last footage I shot of my wife. Little was I to know that this also was the last time I would see her alive. She was murdered. The day these images were shot I was just messing with my camera trying to capture some fun moments with my wife. These moments are Liliana. She was always so happy, smiling, and so full of life. She loved to play jokes, make faces and tell me how much she loved me. I miss her every day.
