Hi, I'm Bruno.
I work and have fun with photography and the arts. I run my own small fine art printing business in Brasília, Brazil, and also an online street art gallery.
Love books, history, and nerdy conversations.
Into freediving, meditation, and cooking, although a little rusty on the last one.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino has changed my life, but many other books are dear to me, like The Glass Palace by Amitav Gosh, The Island of the Day Before, by Umberto Eco.
Pan's Labirynth is a very special movie for me as it reminds me of the power of love and integrity, but the list is huge and includes Akira Kurusawa, Wes Anderson, Wong Kai Wai... Also, I love documentaries.
I tend to like melancholic music a lot.. rss... my favorite being Speak Low sung by Marisa Monte.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

By the age of seven, I adopted two bats for a week. After that, I took care of two owls for one or two months.

Also, not amazing but extraordinary, I once served orange juice to Hugo Chavez and the king of Qatar while in a translator freelance job.
