My main subjects are landscape and nature, but there are times, that I love walking around and just capture what is in front of the lens.
What makes me take a photo? Color, no doubt. But don’t go out thinking, today I’m just going to shoot things with color… it might no happen. Don’t limit yourself to just one thing, there are images everywhere you look.
Cheers.
Two Seagulls going for the hunt.
I don’t usually photograph BIF (birds in flight), but these two came out alright.
I had to crop a lot for the first shot to get that composition. The Common Tern was just so slightly croped.

Saturday, was the opening parade of Sanjoaninas 2011.
I got a chance to photograph some of the elements of the Royal Court with Ruben Tavares, Timothy Lima, Bruno Moniz, Dulce Vieira and Carlos Fontes.
A special thanks to Carlos, who helped me with the lighting setup and location scouting throughout the night. Thanks m8!
At this time, we don’t have permission to post photos of the adults. Don’t forget to bookmark this post for more updates!

Hey guys!
Sorry for not posting in a long long time.
Here are some of the highlights of the work I have been doing.
First, our photo walk to the Bays of Agualva was canceled halfway through due to heavy rain. Some bad luck, but we hope that the next one to be much better.
The last photography workshop went very well, the participants were the best you can have! On the last day, the whole group was capable of understanding how a digital camera captures images, its features, and also overcome difficult challenges, as moving subjects or high contrast scenes.
Along with Ruben Tavares and Timothy Lima, we are photographing for a book project, some of the beneficiaries of the program towards the rural development of the Azores. It has not been an easy task. At São Jorge island, I spent two days photographing farmers in the rain, I got completely soaked.
Among the people I photographed, there was one that impressed me the most, an entrepreneur with 91 years of age, yeah 91. He focused on processing soybeans to convert it into soy milk, tofu and jam. Truly a great example to follow…
Next Friday, again with Ruben and Timmy, we will photograph the royal “entourage” of Sanjoaninas. Its gonna be a lot of fun!
For those unaware, the harbor of Faial Island (pictured above) is the fourth most visited in the world.
More to come.
Cheers.
