Description
The first photograph for a new collection, specifically for Farcaster within frames. I believe deeply in FC's open and permissionless nature on-chain. I'm excited to be a part of this ecosystem at this nascent stage. q/DAU
I moved to Mexico in 2022, and this contract will be an archive of my experiences cycling throughout mexico. I've been cycling and exploring on two wheels for 17 years now, and i always take photographs during my rides. This will serve as a visual journal, and an archive. Sometimes the image will have more story and history of place, or other times just a gm to fellow degens and record of the day out. Often times it will be a photo from the ride of that day, or like this one, i'll pull a photograph from my archive of a memorable ride and significant place on our planet earth.
The point is a permanent record, on chain. I'm tired of giving my cycling data and photographs to big tech for nothing in return. Instead, I will start to disperse it to the burgeoning ecosystem that Farcaster is rapidly becoming.
Let me begin to bring my cycling data on chain. This will be one piece of the puzzle. My vision is to create an intricate web of stories and useful information on chain about riding in Mexico (and beyond) - and not just my own experiences.
Keep an eye for the metadata traits embedded on each photo for detailed information. Every photo NFT will correspond with a specific bike ride, linked in the traits.
- Iztaccíhuatl -
La Mujer Dormiendo. The legend of Popo y Izta dates back to pre-hispanic civilization in the valley of mexico. Two lovers, eternalized as the volcanos themselves.
This ride traversed Volcan Iztaccíhuatl (Pictured, 5,230m / 17,160ft) from south to north as part of "LVVM" (La Vuelta al Valle de Mexico). Climbing out of Amecameca and eventually arriving in Rio Frio, most of the ride was above 12,000 feet on rough doubletrack that doesn't exist on maps. A right of passage to climb and experience the majesty of Izta. Pictured here is my partner, Poli, passing locals before the giant climb. We rode all the way back to CDMX afterwards... gran dia.
