Sofie

My girlfriend from when I was 16, my first great love and passion visited me some days ago. We had some wonderful, magical moments, and it is strange how you actually still "know" someone, even after a 20+ years hiatus. I took this picture of her during one of our late night chats in Lisbon.

Aida

Recently we spent a couple of days in the Alentejo with a couple of friends to escape from the city. Finnish sauna, nature, naturist beach and walks in the country side were what I needed to recharge my batteries and get rid of negative energy that had been accumulating. One of the friends that was there with us is Aida, who recently took a sabbatical to write a book. She took the time to review her editor's comments on her text while we were over there. This is a picture of her.

Helena

My first upload had to be this creature I love above anyone else. I remember vividly the day she was born and came to claim her place in my universe. My daughter Helena is now 12, going on 13, and somewhere in between childhood and adulthood, sometimes shifting between the two various times a day, depending on the company and the mood. This is a portrait of her in the bedroom of the small Lisbon apartment I live in.
