… if I should post this on Flickr. What do you think?
I was visiting brilliant photographer Sarah Rhoads’ blog this morning and I felt in love not only with her images but also with her words. Her post “Comfort kills” is genius and I specially love this part:
“Comfort is the enemy. It stifles growth and it makes us complacent. Comfort makes us satisfied with the mediocre. Comfort keeps us in the “safe zone” rather than challenging us to explore that which is un-safe. Comfort kills creativity. Comfort keeps us from failing and we need to fall on our faces a lot in life to grow. The majority will seek out comfort. It is the “easy road,” the road traveled by many. I don’t want to be the majority. I want to be the minority, the exceptional, the seasoned, the absolute best I can be.”
How good is that?!?!?!!??!
Be sure to stop by at her blog for some more brilliancy. Thumbs up!

My sister Amanda and her husband are dog groomers and I was told that they was really good. When I told her that I was going to be in Rio de Janeiro for a week she said “Great! If you bring your dogs I’ll be glad to groom them!” and of course I did not refuse her offer. I spent the day at her place and as I was cooking us all some risotto she took PQ and Táta to her bathroom and an hour later they came out looking so damn beautiful and relaxed. I am so proud to have such a talented sister like her.

Before I start today’s post I just wanna say that I am so fucking trilled that LOST Season 6 has finally started. Are you guys excited about it too??? Have you seen episodes 1 and 2 already???
Talent- n : Natural endowment or ability of a superior quality.
I’ve been trying to find a concept for this blog’s header for quite some time now. Then a few days ago I had this crazy and goofy idea: all sorts of unusual and rare things happening at the same time and a guy (me, in this case) missing it all because he was just too busy paying attention to something he loves: photographing his dog. There’s a lot of implied messages on this concept but that’s not relevant to this post… what I really wanted to talk is: I was talking to Catherine about this crazy idea and she kindly asked if I would let her try to do it for me. Well, I am not gonna go on and on about how talent she is because it’s obviously not necessary… I explained to her my concept and sent her a really awful briefing:
Yes, go ahead… you can laugh. That’s me drawing! I guess we’re all glad that I went for a music career instead, huh?
And then, voilà, the image she sent me just a few hours later:
If I was that good with my guitar I bet Jimi Hendrix would be proud of me.
A day after tomorrow I am going to Rio de Janeiro to spend some time with my family. Hopefully I’ll be back with some cool shots to share with you guys! See ya…
