Amateur photographer for over 50 years, born in Brazil. In my childhood, at first making photography using my father's Zeiss Ikon 6x6, having then my first own camera, a Kodak Instamatic 126 at 13 years old. At 16, I moved to my first 35mm, a Yashica Electro35. Using Nikon since my first Nikkormat in 1976, later a F2, a F2AS and in the digital area with Nikon E5000, D3100, D5100, Coolpix 7100. And I love to make pictures with an iPhone. At Photocrowd, I do all my efforts to enter every contest create by the community photographers as a tribute to all our fellow contest creators and as a challenge to myself, since I don't care for any particular or specific target, style or genre.
