I read very recently in an Eric Kim blog something that brought me to a feeling that has long abated me: what gives me pleasure in life? What pleasures are worth in life, or those that make them worth fighting for in life? Of course I refer to my life as a photographer, as an artist.
Everyone should agree that taking pleasure is a good side of life, but focusing too much on maximizing your simple pleasures seems like an insignificant goal of life.
I agree with the author of that blog when he says, “Perhaps artistic pleasures are the ultimate pleasure; the pleasure you have in creating your own art!”

I'm an amateur photographer based in the city of São Carlos, São Paulo state, SE Brazil.
I used to make photographs since I was about 15-17 years old. My first camera was a Olympus Trip, an analogue camera. Many years after that I switched to several digital cameras. Presently I own a Nikon D500 with a small set of lenses and a Fujifilm X100T 23mm.
A few years after my retirement as an university professor, after teaching Environmental Chemistry at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) for 45 years, I decided to invest money and time dedicating myself more seriously to photography. I´ve taken on-line courses as well as I´ve participated to various photography festival across Brazil.
By far, my biggest interest is street photography. And in it, I'm interested in portraits, everyday street scenes and architecture.
