Photography. It is my love, my passion, my best friend. It is my way of expressing myself. The way for showing my world, what i feel, how i see the things, the world.

There are such times in life, we feel like as if we are entombed. It is, indeed a kind of a cocoon, rather than a tomb. And sometimes a flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause typhoon in America, in Brasil or inside ourselvels. Like so, a metamorphosis, a butterfly effect, many good people and an inner journey. I have finally emerged from that cocoon. My camera has been my wings. It healed me and i healed it. In the end we have become best friends again. And with a butterfly effect, "me" have become "myself" again. *** In our worst days, better we should remember the "metamorphosis". Because even we think we are dying, it is probably sth coming as a lesson about life,from the universe or God who wants to teach us to be strong, to be able to fly, by strengthening our wings. I know it seems too cruel, yet necessary to be able to become ourselves. I have experienced it. I have just emerged from a cocoon and have become a butterfly...

I have become a volunteer translator for TED several yeaes ago, when i have first met with this amazing organization first. My goal for the feature to be a speaker one day. I would really love to be. Because I have a story worth spreading.

linguistic and writing. But writing is my 2nd way of epressing my owb self, after photography. I especially like writing in English. I really trust myself about playing with words when writing. I like the smart and tiny sense of humour rather than usual jokes many people laughing at.
