I have a true adoration for Japanese art paintings because of their beauty and delicacy.
Every year, in the spring, when the first rains occur and the trees sprout again, I try to take photographs of this vegetation because, in my eyes, many of these trees – in the images that remain in my eyes and mind – bear a great resemblance to the paintings of Japanese art.
This photo that I show today is one of the (many) attempts that I have made and that, in my eyes and mind, highlights some similarity with the paintings of Japanese art.
Hope you like it!


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.

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.

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…
