A buddy from Rio, in São paulo for a few days, suggested there might be a nice photo opportunity in the condo´s swimming pool, at the top floor of the building. But why not go a little further and see what´s on the true top of it?
This was just a test, in between two heavy rain periods. Turns out I liked it, so here it is. A huge thunderstorm prevented us from moving on and upgrading this into a proper picture, so we may return to explore the place in the near future.

The second post from the pics I took with Renan, who introduced me to these breathtaking views in the northern coast of São Paulo state. The first people to see the pics immediately dubbed us “the martians”, so, finding a name for the post wasn´t exactly a challenge…

An old one, from the files. São Paulo, half a block from the Marginal Pinheiros avenue. Right beside an abandoned factory who is to become the latest mega-plus-ultra high rise condo in town… One more example of the city´s almost total lack of planning, contributing to the virtually perpetual traffic jam that seems to be part of the cityscape in recent years.

And, what if your buddy is also into taking the opportunity of an almost empty sugar loaf to bring home a most unusual souvenir?
Not the usual picture visitors come back with…

Last day in town, and that guy you´ve only exchanged a few messages with now says he´s all about taking pictures. Even better, he has access to a very interesting research facility.
So we set sail… To the lab!
Thank you Daniel.

Wanted to share with you what it looks like in the moments before we actually start to shoot. Of course, when the shooting takes place in some open, public space, things don´t flow like this and doing it quickly is the only alternative… :)

What to say of someone who just got to know you, but joined your crazy project of leaving town to get into some dirty road in the middle of the sugarcane plantations outside the city to try to reach that particular spot you saw in the satellite image? A common friend joining in the last minute only adds to the thrill, and I didn´t expect any less from my hometown men…
Thank you guys.
These are fast changing times in a fast changing region. Centuries-old sugarcane plantations and so far virtually untouched mangrove areas have been giving room to a shipyard, an oil refinery, a growing harbour and many new industries, roads and countless services associated. No landscape seems to be taken for granted anymore as it was the case for our parents, grandparents and so on. Let´s enjoy it, while we can.
More images form our night out will be here in the coming weeks.
Happy 2012!

Some say São Paulo keeps trying to be New York. If it´s true, I hope it just keeps on trying and doesn´t lose its own character. I wouldn´t mind if it had half of NY´s public transport system tough…

How much time have you spent staring at shadows, instead of what really matters?

Alex, my first Grincheux
Alex, mon premier Grincheux
Alex, meu primeiro “Zangado”
To celebrate our first month up and running, I´m placing the first pic of the Grincheux series.
The idea for the series started shaping itself the moment I saw this mask on a small store in Paris that seemed to have a little bit of everything. Among old good times school supplies and way kitsch home décors, there it was, my “Grincheux” mask. I had been looking for something like that for a while and grabbed it right away!
It took a few months before I actually started shooting the series. The idea is to have it worn by many different men in all sorts of places and situations for a timespan of a few years. The idea behind the idea is to find out when the mask decaying process will drag more attention than the mask bearer.
Pra celebrar nosso primeiro mês no ar, a série Grincheux.
A idéia pra série começou a tomar forma no momento em que eu vi a máscara numa lojinha de Paris que tinha de tudo um pouco. No meio de artigos escolares antigos e de decoração kitsch estava meu “Zangado”. Eu já procurava alguma coisa assim há um tempo e agarrei na hora!
Ainda levou uns meses até começar a fazer as fotos. A idéia é ter a máscara usada por vários caras em todo tipo de lugar e de situações por uns anos. A idéia por trás da idéia é descobrir quando a decomposição da máscara vai acabar chamando mais atenção que o cara que a usa.
Pour fêter notre premier mois de publication du blog, la série grincheux.
L’idée de la série est née dans le moment où j’ai vu ce masque dans un petit magasin parisien qui avait un peu de tout. Moi, je cherchais quelque chose comme ça il y avait un peu de temps, et je l’ai pris immédiatement.
Il m’a pris quelques mois avant de vraiment commencer à faire des photos. L’idée c’est de l’avoir porté par plusieurs mecs dans beaucoup de situations et lieux divers, même que ça prenne plusieurs années. Je crois que l’idée derrière la tête c’est de trouver quand la décomposition de l’objet va attirer plus d’attention que l’homme nu qui la porte.
