color test 2

experimenting with camera settings...

PRESS PLAY Take Five - Dave Brubeck

I was just laying on yhe floor, playing with the cat, looked up and liked the composition. So since I hate flash light from automatic cameras, I started playing with the different camera settings to try to capture a good light for that picture.

They are all different pictures, they are all the pictures I took and I swear I didn't plan this color scheme.

It's lovely how sometimes we somehow make perfect things, only by just listening to ourselves and not thinking much, just doing it, whatever it is.

I LOVE sincronicity.

Head over feet

Ganesh under the effect of catnip spray on his scratching post. Lots of fun to watch!

Poor Brahma is sick and Ganesh is taking good care of him :)

And we all miss Shante a lot.

Victória took her first feet pictures :)

My niece and I were standing on the line of a notary public and we were getting bored. She was playing with my Blackberry and she looooves taking pictures with it. I asked her to take a few for my blog, and here they are :)

Come on up to the dance floor

PRESS PLAY Open your heart - Madonna

I fell for Copacabana's rainy fall

PRESS PLAY Águas de Março - Elis Regina e Tom Jobim

I fell for Ipanema's fall

we don't have the maple trees here...

but the colors are wonderfull

it's not Louis Vuitton

A sidewalk, somewhere in Europe, maybe Barcelona that reminded me of Louis Vuitton pattern right away. No, I don't have a purse. It's just very good branding.

They grow up too fast!

Valentina is only 11 and she is almost walking with my shoes!

I asked my dear niece to pose her feet for a picture for my blog. She choose to put her feet between mine, and then I realized how big they were! She said the shoes were a bit big, but her mom said it was better like that, so they would last longer. Man, they grow up too fast!

Girl from Ipanema's feet :))

PRESS PLAY The Boy from Ipanema - Ella Fitzgerald

One of my favorite things is to go to the beach in Ipanema, specially not in the summer, when I can only go like after 3pm... too freakin' hot here.

And I LOVE the "Two Brother's Mountain", at the end of Leblon (Ipanema and Leblon are physically one beach, just the name changes around Post 11). It is specially beautiful when you take a bike ride along the beach.

Mate Leão in a huge silver gallon and Biscoito Globo are mandatory. I count on Marcelo to get the best Mate in Ipanema. Sorvete Itália is always a good alternative.

@ Cinemathéque + anonymous' very nice red shoes!

PRESS PLAY Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

I went there with my boyfried to watch a performance of his friend's music / video project featuring movies soundtracks. It is called Cinebonde and it is really good.

Afterwards we sang and danced same 80's rock'n'roll and had a beer with Mathias, the drummer and friend.

Home Sweet Home

PRESS PLAY My Favorite Things - John Coltrane

One of my favorite things is to just hang out home with my cats, cook, listen to music, watch movies, read magazines, surf on the web, take care of the house... :)
