"Legalizes", is what one reads in one of the columns of the structure in the Boa Vista Bridge. An allusion to the call for legalization of marijuana use.

After some studies, observations and exercising my creativity, I decided to let my vision flow and allied to the technological potential of my camera and lenses I started to "draw" "talking pictures". Yes, images that together with the main object, can by themselves, speak and express what they want to pass to the public. In order to construct these images I exercised a lot in the street my sense of observation and I started to walk more slowly (something that I can not normally do when I am walking in the street). Walking slowly, looking at the details, every movement of the people and patience while capturing the images. A very pleasurable exercise, almost a prayer, a mantra. Every day I convince myself that photography is much more than the art of reproducing images, it is almost a religion.

In the economic crisis with the stores closed, in the streets only the dummies remained.
