These are some old shots in digital B&W made in the Brazilian Amazon Region at Negro River (no so far from Manaus, AM-Brasil) and its tributaries named locally as ‘igarapés’. The innundated forests are named ‘igapós’. Hope you appreciate them. Cheers!!! Continue reading “Reflections in B&W: Amazonian scenes.”

“Photography is an expression of those (one’s) desires” – daido moriyama. 2012.
Life passes. Time is an inexorable, inflexible, relentless variable. And for many reasons – I couldn’t say which ones, but I don’t think I’m interested in knowing – they end up thinking that when they reach ‘adulthood’ (really old age) they are not able to produce things (anything, coming from any work) and that only he who is in his full ‘minority’ (read youth) is able to produce.

‘Moriyamando’.
‘Moriyamando’ is a new series of photographs that I have been working on for the past few days. The name of the series is a pun that I make (and that only makes sense in the Portuguese language) with the name of the great Japanese photographer, Daido Moriyama, whom I admire and draw inspiration from in my street photography. Continue reading “‘Moriyamando’.”
Amazon in Black & White
Here are some shots of the Amazon (Manaus, Belém and Ilha de Marajó) taken in April 2012. I am suspicious in saying this because I love black & white photography. But, the strength of black & white is apparent, even though they are photographs of a region where there is a lot of color. Continue reading “Amazon in Black & White”

Black & White landscapes: the beauty of the rocky vegetation of Serra da Canastra (Brazil)
I have a real fascination for mountains and their unique rocky vegetation.

Continue reading “Black & White landscapes: the beauty of the rocky vegetation of Serra da Canastra (Brazil)”
Feelings about film photography: “use the treasures you have kept”
After almost 40 years I am back to ‘analogue’. I return to analog photography, film photography that is associated with my digital photography. This phrase “use the treasures you have kept” is from a great friend of mine – Ricardo ‘Lilika‘ Lima – and it expresses a deep feeling about the film photography that he feels and that I have felt again in the last few days. Continue reading “Feelings about film photography: “use the treasures you have kept””
“the real is not at the exit or at the arrival but in the middle of the crossing.” (joão guimarães rosa)
This thought is (very) valid for me in photography. The (many) trials (and errors) are (most of the time) more interesting than the end result. Continue reading ““the real is not at the exit or at the arrival but in the middle of the crossing.” (joão guimarães rosa)”
