my first books
Let me introduce you to my first three books... the first two through collaboration with the artists...
The Gift on the Water / Omi Odára
Viver Brasil Dance Company
Viver Brasil inspired me with their simplicity and at the same time their richness, their respectful approach to the roots of the Bahian traditional dance.
I'm amazed with their deep understanding of movement and sound, while choreographing old style candomblé and/or carnival pieces, with a fresh and cotemporary spirit.
This, my first book, is a dedication to their criativity.
Yuval Ron Ensemble
from Yuval Ron Ensemble's mission: embracing diversity... we cannot agree more.
On this, our, planet we need more bridges between people of various faiths and ethnic groups.
Dance and music, as well as images, are the perfect tools to communicate beyond words as you can talk directly to the essence of the other soul.
I'm honored to be able to collaborate with Yuval Ron in this my second book.
and, the last one...
The Amazon River
I was empowered by the forest, humbled by its inhabitants...
This, my first photo essay about the Amazon, is all about the river, the forest and its inhabitants... these images try to convey the contrasts and diversities you can find at the very edge of civilized life...
The memories, buried deep into my skin, nose and eye balls, are hard to describe, like the smell of the "fornos de lenha" (wood stoves) along the river, the view of magnificent sunrises and sunsets, the ever changing sounds and smell of the forest, the smiles of the people, the purity of the kids playing in the water... the birds singing in the fresh early morning, before the sun shows its rays throught the trees... and during the nigths, those amazing starry skys, clean, pure, fresh... the crickets, joining the choir of owls, frogs and toads... and the constant sound: the splash of the water...
Life in the river is intense, difficult, but there is an attraction that I can hardly understand or express...
I felt so insignificant in front of so much energy...
Hope these images will bring you some of my emotions...
happy to answer questions or get comments...
