At 7 I wanted to go to a special heaven the priests sold as a place with gardens and soccer fields. At 11 I wanted to know and see a naked woman, at 15 I found out God didn’t existed and I put myself into writing poetry.
At 20 I believed that the revolution would make Earth a more interesting place than the sexless priests’ heaven. At 23 I signed the minutes of the creation of PT (a left political party) and screamed OUT! And spent my life in meetings at the Brazilian suburbs, slums and shantytowns. At 28 I became Alice’s father and started to pose as journalist, for I haven’t become neither a poet nor a writer.
Up to my 35 I spent nights in the windowless and no extras newsrooms of Veja and Exame magazines. I wrote without reading the Manual at Folha de S. Paulo newsroom. After 35 I stopped to write about business and started to write to business owners.
At 42 the discovery that I could make with photography the poetry of my 15s. At 43 I was initiated to the zone system of master Ansel Adams and I abandoned the photos in the automatic. At 47 I launched this site.
