“The window of my studio” by Josef Sudek (1896-1976) (text written on July 24/2017) (texto em português ao final)
Maybe I shouldn’t start this post by inviting you to read it in full…..But, you will see that the subject treated in it is extremely topical given that it has everything to do with this condition of social distance (I would even dare to say, of social seclusion) that the world lives in these times of COVID-19. TEXTO EM PORTUGUÊS AO FINAL. Continue reading ““The window of my studio” by Josef Sudek (1896-1976) (text written on July 24/2017) (texto em português ao final)”
Imitating (and emulating) great masters of photography: another example
This example in the attempt to emulate great masters of photography comes from a great photograph of Walker Evans made in 1936 of a negro barber shop in the interior of Atlanta-USA. Continue reading “Imitating (and emulating) great masters of photography: another example”
Autumn.
What autumn looks like in a small urban forest near my home in São Carlos, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Continue reading “Autumn.”
Imitating (and trying to emulate) great masters of photography
I think photographers have a high regard for the stories behind each photograph. I confess that I go beyond liking; I am a great lover of the subject. Continue reading “Imitating (and trying to emulate) great masters of photography”

What touches me most in the photos of a young man of just 17 years old named Stanley Kubrick.
I write this post not based on deep knowledge about Kubrick’s work because I am far from having it, but much more guided by my admiration for the work of this great artist and the emotion that his photos make me feel.

Reflections in B&W: Amazonian scenes.
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. I feel that black & white photography is the best way to express how I see this incredibly wonderful ecosystem of Serra da Canastra (Minas Gerais state, SE Brazil).
