It is with pleasure that I invite everyone interested to the opening on April 25, 2024 at 7:00 pm of the photography exhibition MY AMAZÔNIA PITTORESCA with my original photographs of the Amazon region that I took over a long period (1982-2012).

The photographs were digitized from negatives (B&W and in color) and slides (slides) in color and restored (mostly) and the files generated were printed using the sublimation transfer method in size 100x150cm on Tahiti fabric 150m/m2.

The exhibition can be seen at the USP Cultural Center in São Carlos (Av. Dr. Carlos Botelho – Centro, São Carlos, São Paulo-Brasil) until May 29, 2024.
Welcome, everyone!

Our sister-companions of nature who are trees also always follow the courses of our rivers, lake margins protecting them by supporting their banks with their roots, softening the effects of the high temperatures of their waters with their shadows, offering refuge from predators and a breeding ground for aquatic animals.

For passers-by and photographers, like me, they give them everything they want: a view of the beauty of their trunks, branches and majestic crowns and their breathtaking reflection’s images in their calm waters of rivers and lakes.

In the Amazonian rivers there are many trees that are so prominent in the environment that they are called Notable Trees and are included in the mavegation maps. The featured image tree of this post is one of them.

Film photographs made in the 1990s and 2000s in the Brazilian Amazon Region.

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.” →
