Photography

{three windows}

A long-abandoned old house in Cássia (Minas Gerais – Brazil).

I was happy to discover it and bring it back to life in my photo (night photo), which changed my night for the better.

I liked the title that Prof. Guilherme Ghisoni (Labfotofilo – Philosophy of Photography Research Laboratory, FAFIL-UFG, Goiás, Brazil) gave to this photo, also published on my Instagram: THE SUM OF TIMES. I found the title inspiring and it fits the photo perfectly.

This scene values ​​the aesthetics of imperfection, that is, the beauty of imperfections, thus aligning itself with the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which sees value in aging and the transience of things. Therefore, the title given, “The Sum of Times”, is very expressive, in my opinion, because it reinforces the idea that the present is built from the layers (imperfect, but beautiful) left by the past.

Street photography

Looking at the reflections, the distortions of light that freely penetrates the myriad of convex lenses of rainwater drops on the windshield of my car, I see a reality that transforms into a dreamlike and poetic world.

The distortion of reality and the explosion and the scattering of light and colors spread and materialize and, the streets and some of its passers-by, the buildings, the venacular constructions, the urban landscape as a whole merge, creating, without pity or mercy, the mystery of the life of this city and these people.

My intention in creating these images and the result they induce is pictorial, of construction of a narrative, but it is at the same time emotional, in the hope that these same feelings will sprout in the minds of those who appreciate them.
