I've always liked taking photos. Nowadays my main subjects are family, places where I live and work (Brasília, Washington, Alto Paraíso), and travel.

My son Felipe also uploads photos occasionally to this site. All the college pictures and most of the Brasília landscape photos were taken by him with our Nikon D80. I have used primarily compact cameras: the Nikon Coolpix 4100, and five Canons - the SD500, the SD700IS, the SD890IS, the S90 and currently an S95. My all time favorite camera was the Canon SD700IS, endlessly flexible and portable - took about 20,000 pictures with it.
