A RECORD OF THE DEAR FRIEND JUAN ESTEVES (in memoriam):

“Antonio Mozeto’s images of the interior of São Paulo are full of contrasts and reveal a Brazil that is rare to see in the harmony of the landscape’s graphics and in the topographies altered by man, a moment of a precious amalgamation”

Part of the text by Juan Esteves about the collective photography exhibition called TERRITORIES exhibited at Casa PEF Klink during the 2020 Paraty em Foco festival (Paraty, RJ).

[Merry Christmas, Happy New Year]

With this photo, which I really like, I would like to wish all my friends here on this social network and many who are also great friends in real life, a Christmas and a New Year full of peace and good things and that we can live together and/or get around the not so good things!


May we be happy, that is what matters most!


May roads like the one in the photo take us to many desired places and may we be happy on our journeys.

[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”
