You may notice I’m not very active around here, but easy, easy, one step at a time… slow and steady! Now that I’m getting excited about my new camera, a Minolta Z3, I still have a lot to learn, but I’ll get there one day! Hugs, everyone, I’m liking this tool.
Jurerê Beach, Summer 2005
17 February 2005
Facts and things from Jurerê beach, on Santa Catarina Island.
The landscape got a bit hidden behind the people and moments I tried to capture.
Don’t mind the low quality, the focus mistakes and the other beginner stuff. Besides being a little wary of using the camera on the beach, I didn’t know I would publish these. You learn by getting it wrong.
Criticism or suggestions, go for it…

Heading to Itapema, First Try
27 February 2005
We were on a motorcycle ride that started in Florianópolis with Itapema beach as the goal, but along the way we decided to explore every exit off the BR 101.
Those exits took us to beautiful places hardly anyone goes to, like Praia de São Miguel, Governador Celso Ramos, Praia de Palmas and other little villages.
In the end we never made it to Itapema, but we found amazing places. Maybe on the next try we’ll reach our goal.
