[paths…]

[paths…]: [I like the roads, the paths … maybe I have a wandering soul…of not having a time to leave, nor to arrive … I like the straights, but I don’t dislike the curves … is the fate of those who come and go… of those who will arrive and leave… of those who like to see unknown places, but are not afraid of the unknown … of those who like the rocks and dust of the roads … of those who like the dirt, gravel, asphalt … and the surroundings of the roads, where everything passes very slowly like a movie of my life … all this teaches me to see, to look, to feel … to live]

[place and memory in photography: the beauty of time; the passage of time]

The great US photographer William Christenberry (1936-2016) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Christenberry) once said (https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2010/oct/03/myth) -manners-and-memory-review): “I don’t want my work to be thought of in terms of nostalgia. It’s a matter of place and sense of place. I’m not looking back with nostalgia for the past, but for the beauty of time and the passage of time.”

I echo the words of William Christenberry. These are the same reasons that motivate me to take photographs of buildings – many of them old and/or abandoned –, objects and landscapes from the interior of the state of São Paulo and other parts of the interior of Brazil.
