[photo of direita street in tiradentes, mg, brazil from march 2017]
[i truly worship this street with its houses with many doors and windows and its many stones]
[as corny as it may seem, i really liked this mirror image of this diptych]

[the ‘raw’ file was processed in lightroom in order to obtain a result that i called, at the time, ‘stylized’]
[i don’t know what i meant anymore after 7 years]

“To keep something is to look at it, to stare at it, to gaze at it for the sake of
admiring it, that is, to illuminate it or to be illuminated by it”

My Day by Edward Hopper (1882-1967) (USA; painter, graphic artist and illustrator).
