Genealogy

Since I was a kid I enjoyed to hear my great grandparents telling about their ancestors lives. Well I am very lucky as I am a descendant of Americans, Italians, Portuguese and Brazilians. A lot to research, right?
Orchids

In 1979, the school where I studied showed some orchids. They catched me forever. Is there any other plant as mysterious and intriguing as this one? there are more than thirty thousand species in the world, and more than 2,000 come from Brazil.
Cooking

Nice way of spending Sunday mornings...well let's not start too early as one needs sleeping. I don't have a particular preference but generally don't like pasta stuff...Am I a weirdo? Well, eating out is great also, and remember: I live in São Paulo.
Games

I love wasting my time like that, particularly with city building games. I have even helped to develop some of them. I have my name on in-game credits of Cleopatra, Poseidon, Zeus and Emperor. Other games I like are Pharaoh, Alpha Centaury, C3, Civ3, AoE, and Railroad Tycoon.
Architecture

It is needless to say, I know. Housing Architecture is the one I am particularly interested in. Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, Richard Meier are some of the best.
Music

Completelly addicted, I like almost all types but particularly the classics. Some of the best? Faure's Requiem, Parsifal, Akhnaten, Barca de Venezia per Padova, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Alpensinfonie, The 4 last songs, Semele, La Boheme, and endless others.
Movies

There are so many great movies that's hard to name only a few of them. Well, I am not fanatic about violence, black and white, or American comedies, but usually watching a movie sounds like great fun to me.
The Sea

Not living on a beach, I had a huge saltwater tank. Those are really nice pets to keep, furthermore its a way of keeping a little bit of the sea around. Have you watched Deep Blue?
Cars

I love the ones of late fifties. Wow, what did those designers have in their heads ?! This pic is of my old 60 Impala. Sadly I don't have it anymore, but she will be always mine as I brought it back to life. It was completely rusty, buried under a ton of pigeons dung, when I fist saw it.
Astrology

It is weird, how can this possibly work? Does it? I don't know, just guess some aspects are pretty interesting. I'm a Virgo with Cancer rising. Or should I say a water tiger?





The top pic is about Carnival in Rio by André Cypriano.

There are so many passions in life. Hard to say which ones should be left out of here... And one still has to find time to work!
