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.

{reconstructing Nineteen Eighty-Four}

color photography, photomontage

Reconstructing Michael Radford’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” (1984) from George Orwell’s glorious book of the same name (1948).

The photomontages are of scenes from the film that I have just re-watched for the ‘n’th time and I photographed the TV screen that overlaps photos of me of Usina São Carlos (sugar and alcohol plant) (Jaboticabal SP Brazil) during the period when it was being demolished already 2-3 years ago.
