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.

[new photography book on the way]

Photography, photomontage

Friends: Here’s the dummy of my book ‘hauntings’ with 51 photographs, 88 pages (mostly in B&W) which will have its final printing perhaps this October and its launch and sales afterwards.
The project was curated by Roberto Cecato (FotoWeb Academy, São Paulo, SP) to whom I am very grateful for the true partnership. The book is brilliantly prefaced by this curator.

Happy to be in this final stage of another project materialized in a book.

Photography, Street photography

I’ve always been very curious and have a relationship with paths…not only with the paths themselves, but also with ‘the edges of the paths’…it’s this story of the flâneur, the observer…and the edges of the paths reveal a lot of the paths themselves… this photo is one of those that I have collected from my collection, but it is a theme that I continue to photograph whenever I can.

{(a little) beyond architecture}

Photography

I always thought that my photos supposedly classified as ARCHITECTURE weren’t really ARCHITECTURE… essentially, I didn’t like them thinking they were ARCHITECTURE… and then I tentatively decided to call this exercise (wandering through the collection of several hundred photos) BEYOND ARCHITECTURE where I pair photos (as if on paired pages of an open book) that are actually of architecture while others that are not that show leading lines, shapes, volumes, marked contrasts between shadows and light, etc…
