FOGG Odyssey bio picture

Troy Floyd

I missed the 60's, American, hate cooked green vegetables but love the taste of a cheese and mustard sandwich, been to 20+ countries, once had a 6-figure salary but quit it to be happy.  


Goals in life:

* Sail the Amazon River in my own man made boat from Ecuador to Peru

* Hike Norway on the pilgrimage trail from Oslo to the North for 1 month

* Travel the world by car or motorcycle for 2 years  

* Expand my photography skills

* ...and buy a winning lottery ticket!


Think that sums me up pretty much!  In all honestly, I'm currently living in Quito, Ecuador.  After working long 12hr days, 7 days a week, chasing the wealth dream I finally decided it was time in my life to do something I'm passionate about, PHOTOGRAPHY and TRAVEL!

Photos: Viejos & Masks in Ecuador For New Years (Part III)

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 8:10am Posted in Ecuador


Michael Jackson viejo masks were the most popular this year in Ecuador

More ano viejo masks from Ecuador’s New Years celebration.  So far I have shown you the political leaders, the dummies they have mounted on to the ladyboys who own the streets that night.  These are what I call the fun viejo masks, from the scary, to the famous to the fun ones.  As I have stated before, Michael Jackson was the clear winner this year but there were many others represented.  I personally liked the Hulk viejo mask below as it just made me want to pour gas on it and burn it.  I mean who doesn’t want to kick the crap out of the Hulk?

Still need help with people to fill out my survey about this site.  It takes 2min, I won’t ask for any personal information and you don’t have to register.  So help me out and click below.

    It's amazing how different all of these masks are - a really great series, I've enjoyed looked at the varying craftsmanship! I think it's funny that everyone went with Michael, an interesting sign of the pervasiveness of his presence and death. I was in Slovenia when news of his death broke and the local radio/news stations were obsessed; who knew!
  • Thanks Shannon and it was such a surprise to get to see them for New Years. I personally had no clue about what went on in Ecuador for NY but it was one of the best celebrations I have ever been to.

    As a photographer it was heaven! lol Are you ready for Cuba yet?
  • ShannonOD
    I bet that was just amazing to participate in w/everyone in masks and you
    able to capture some great shots! As for me - I am still a bit nervous
    about Cuba, but getting excited, my London friend has booked her ticket, so
    it is really happening! :-)
