One of my personal favorites. This picture taken in a rodeo (during the lasso tournament) in the south of Brazil. The cowboys are called “gauchos”, and this one is dressed typically. This type of large trousers are called “bombachas”. Captured at 300mm in negative film and then scanned.

a picture of the statue of christ in Rio De Janiero, Brazil, taken from Sugar Loaf…the failing light and surrounding clouds makes it seem very mysterious.

The Girl from Ipanema – Antonio Carlos Jobim,Frank Sinatra / Lyrics: Tall and tan and young and lovely / The girl from ipanema goes walking / And when she passes, each one she passes goes – ah When she walks, shes like a samba / That swings so cool and sways so gentle / That when she passes, each one she passes goes – ooh (ooh) but I watch her so sadly / How can I tell her I love her / Yes I would give my heart gladly / But each day, when she walks to the sea / She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely / The girl from ipanema goes walking / And when she passes, I smile – but she doesnt see (doesnt / Best Sellers T-Shirts / / / / / / / / / / /

“Ọṣun (or Oshun) in Yoruba african mythology, is a spirit-goddess (Orisha) who reigns over love, intimacy, beauty, wealth and diplomacy. She is worshipped also in Brazilian Candomblé Ketu, with the name spelled Oxum. / Oshun is beneficient and generous, and very kind. She does, however, have a horrific temper, though it is difficult to anger her. She is associated with the color yellow, metals gold and copper, and anything of beauty; her favorable day of the week is Saturday, and the number she is associated with is 5. / Her symbols are mirrors, jewelry, honey, and golden silks. / She is the Yoruba understanding of the cosmological forces of water, moisture, and attraction. Therefore she is omnipresent and omnipotent. / Oshun is the force of harmony. Harmony we see as beauty, feel as love, and experience as ecstasy.” An original cinema4D render. (CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application, produced by MAXON Computer, Germany.)
In Yoruba mythology, Ogun (or Ogoun, Ogun, Ogou) is an orisha, who presides over fire, iron, hunting, politics and war. He is the patron of smiths and is usually displayed with his attributes: machete or sabre, rum and tobacco. / He is the traditional warrior and seen as a powerful deity of metal work, similar to Ares and Hephaestus in Greek mythology and Visvakarma in Hindu mythology. / In the religious tradition of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé, Ogun (as this Yoruba divinity is known in the Portuguese language) is often identified with Saint George. However, Ogun may also be represented by Saint Sebastian. Officially Saint Sebastian is the patron saint of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. / In all his incarnations Ogoun is a fiery and martial spirit. He can be very aggressively masculine—much like the spirit of Shango. He is also linked with blood, and is for this reason often called upon to heal diseases of the blood. / (Extracted from Wiki).

Oil on stretched canvas 900×1300 mm Dedicated to Roney, who lived with his little brother on the streets in São Paulo and was tragically murdered in 2008 at the age of 12. Their lives have been pretty much guided by fate and fortune, like most other kids on the streets of the big cities in the world. An unstable childhood due to their mother’s alcoholism, has led them to end up on the streets full-time. It is unacceptable that 21st century children are still at risk on the streets. Carf Brazil, was established by Gregory J. Smith in São Paulo in 1993, to benefit the street children of Brazil by defending their rights and offering them a dignified solution so that they could live and grow within a family-oriented context and healthy social environment. As Grerory quotes, Albert Einstein said: The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.
