[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]

“A stoic approach – no matter how skilled you are at photography or art, whether you’re going to become famous or rich or renowned is beyond your control.
What can you control?
The commitment and ambition you put to increase your creative and artistic productions” (ERIC KIM)

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.

[if I could go back in time I would want to go back to a time when I would be as fast as the turbulent rapids of a river; that the gallop of my horse Baio; that my green Mercswiss bike cutting through the dusty roadway; faster than the wind; freer than the wild beasts that roamed the dense and frighteningly dark forests]

October 21st/2021 – 7 PM (BRASÍLIA-BRASIL TIME)
Coordination: RICARDO LIMA
Participations: author of the book and JUAN ESTEVES (curator)

This diptych was made with photos from 1988 taken on the highway reaching Cuiabá, the good old Brazilian Midwest.
I miss those well-lived times, but not necessarily of film photography…
The featured image is from the same trip to the Brazilian Midwest of the Cuiabá River.
