I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED NATURE, BUT MY CAREER DID NOT ALLOW ME ENOUGH TIME TO BE OUT ENJOYING ALL THE BEAUTY THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER. THE 11TH SEPTEMBER 2001 CHANGED MY LIFE, WHICH WAS DEDICATED TO COMMERCIAL AVIATION AT A MANAGERIAL LEVEL, AND I QUIT! AFTER THAT, I DEVOTED MYSELF MORE TO THE THINGS THAT I HAD ON MY "PENDING TRAY" IN MY HEART!. I BECAME A THERAPIST IN ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, MAINLY SOUND MASSAGE WITH TIBETAN BOWLS AND GONG.... AND I ALSO STARTED WALKING A LOT. I USED TO TAKE SHOTS SOMETIMES, AND A DEAR FRIEND ENCOURAGED ME TO START DOING IT MORE SERIOUSLY.... AND SO I DID. I AM QUITE HAPPY WITH SOME OF MY RESULTS AND HAVE HAD VERY POSITIVE FEED-BACK FROM FELLOW ARTISTS. SO, I DECIDED TO PUBLISH SOME SAMPLES OF MY WORK, WHICH I DEDICATED TO FERNANDO PESSOA, A FAMOUS PORTUGUESE POET. MY FAVOURITE POEM, TALKS ABOUT PLANTS AND GODS, IS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK IN PORTUGUESE. I HOPE THIS WORK BRINGS YOU JOY AND ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO BECOME CURIOUS ABOUT MY COUNTRY, PORTUGAL.
