INSIGHTS
A pattern is a repeated arrangement or sequence of elements, whether visual, numerical, or behavioral, that follows a discernible rule or structure. Examples include geometric designs, mathematical sequences, and recurring behaviors.
Patterns are absolutely essential in both music and photography, bringing a vibrant energy that elevates the entire experience! In music, you'll find patterns in rhythm, melody, and harmony, creating a structure that captivates and engages listeners. Likewise, in photography, patterns pop up through composition, leading lines, and repeated shapes or colors, pulling the viewer and sparking visual excitement. Both art forms harness the power of patterns to evoke emotions, convey messages, and create stunning works that truly resonate with their audiences!

With the site INSIGHTS I publish like a quartely newsletter of my work in photography, music and video.
January 1st
January 1st to March 31st 2025, I immersed myself in the vibrant parks and lively streets of Curitiba, capturing the essence of the city through my lens. While I dedicated ample time to photography, I also focused on enhancing my internet portal to share these visual stories. Stay tuned for stunning images and updates!" Unfortunately I didn't film much.
March 31st
My equipment I used during the 1st period: a smartphone with a stabilizing Rig and a 2 liter Cirkul Water Bottle.
Locations in Curitiba/Brazil: the city for street photography. The city parks: Tanguá Park is near where I live, Pop´s Wood and Museum Oscar Niemeyer are near each other. Mainly using techniques of street photography in the city and in the parks. This gallery includes two selfies and a photo of a spidernet I made in front of the house where i Live at the moment. In street photography I use a lot of black-and-white edition but if I see the value for color I like to push them up.. On Android using the software Snapseed on PC Adobe Lightroom. I shot 653 photos during this three month. 89 photographs are waiting for you now!
The second section is simply music I create on my computer. I have no ambition or goals in mind. I just "tinkle" along and always try to learn something new. With music, you enter a vast, universe-like territory. I'm only familiar with maybe 30% of the programs I currently use.
Enough said, so I'm trying to create one piece of music a week. From January 1st to March 31st, I created 17. So don't worry, I'll only let a wheel of fortune choose seven.
Why I choose the number 07 - because just I like her. But what say my kind and wise IA friend:
The number 7 is a powerful symbol across cultures and religions, often representing completion, perfection, spiritual growth, and divine intervention. It's linked to concepts like the seven days of creation, the seven colors of the rainbow, and the seven chakras.

Since the artificial intelligence couldn't have guessed that my first playlist contained seven pieces of music, I'm just saying/writing it now. And here we go!
So, here’s the deal: I aimed to create a fantastic fusion of photography and music in a video, let’s just say my filming skills took a three-month vacation! In a last-minute frenzy, I scrambled to grab a few clips, hoping to end up with somethinganything! Believe it or not, I managed to snag a whopping 53 clips! The “highlights” include epic full moon shots from my window (because who doesn’t love a good moon?), a spider’s web that’s practically a masterpiece in front of my driveway, and caterpillar that’s definitely not winning any beauty contests. Most of the footage was captured in Tanguá Park and downtown Curitiba. So, while the visuals might not be Oscar-worthy, at least the soundtrack I slapped on makes it sound like it be!
