East Timor

Every time i take pictures of them is a lesson for me... gives me the chance to realize what really matters in life... our priorities... do we really want to change inside for better?

East Timor

I don´t want to impress anyone... just want to share what i see often. This is the reality of our small world...

Me and a Timor East baby girl... a precious moment

Nigéria

Mana... esta foto é para ti... Nós somos assim...

Ela tem alegria, movimento, amor, amizade, ternura, companheirismo, ...

Não consigo imaginar a minha vida sem ti!

Tu dás-me cor... pintas a maratona da minha vida com as cores que estou a precisar no momento e isso torna a corrida tão mais fácil...

Esta foto simboliza tudo aquilo que representamos na vida uma da outra... e não te quero largar nunca... nunca!

Agradecer é pouco... tu és tudo!

East Timor

So much to give, teach, learn, receive...

East Timor

Don´t be afraid... Look forward!

We have to give ourselves the opportunity to find the true sense of purpose in this life and learn how to appreciate every single moment !

We should also be strong and confident enough to rearrange our priorities and follow our dreams...

East Timor

When we observe a child we can see sincerity and spontaneity... for many, behind smiles they hide hard lives of suffering and anguish. Still, they have the ability to smile ... and they smile with their heart !!
Children have taught me a lot ...

East Timor

Friendship, amizade, amistad, amitié, persahabatan, Freundschaft, 友誼,...

Friend is the one who listen, accept and understand.

With friends we open our hearts and share ... cry or laugh... and then we grow.

Everyone needs a good friend...

I need and have... and with a thankful heart i say : Thank you for running with me the road of life and for always being there !!

East Timor

Faces... Lives...

Small village close to Suai, southwest Timor-Leste

Look at me...

What do you see?

East Timor

5:45 a.m. ... street of Luang Prabang - Laos.

I enjoyed this ceremony during the 5 days I was there...every morning I woke up before sunrise, grabbed my camera and went to the street to watch it.

Innocence...

East Timor

An amazing experience in the floating village, Siem Reap, Cambodia.

I saw schools, houses, shops,...

People live here and they don't have the comfort we have in the modern world.

From young age children learn how to survive... they navigate boats and help their parents with the fishing work.

A hike to the highest point of East Timor, Ramelau.

We slept up there and a good fire was made because it was very cold. I had the opportunity to see an incredible sunset...

A prince transformed into a cat that lives in a very humble house in a beautiful small village flashed me his eye! Wow...

But I could not see if he turned into a prince again after I blinked my eye back at him because i ran away!!

East Timor

While some are undecided what´s the best brand of stove to buy, others carry firewood for cooking...

East Timor

Don´t be afraid to stand up and believe that new leaves will emerge...

East Timor

A good friend (Sandra miss U) took this picture of me on a trip we made to an island called Atauro. It was a great weekend... beautiful place... wonderful moments... precious friends...

In a small village in the middle of nowhere I found sincere smiles...

East Timor

A awesome ceremony i attended in a district of East Timor with traditional dances and songs to receive a special guest... well... the special guest wasn´t me!!

East Timor

What I see has a big impact in my life and makes me want to change inside ...

This image is etched in my mind. The sympathy of these children made me stay with them for a while. We exchanged smiles, a few words but especially their simplicity and humility captivated my heart.
