If I am right, I did
like 3708 photos (so far) of your Instagram. People who live with me, use to say that I
have some problems when I am speaking with someone else. It's like I consider
that the other person involved in a conversation with me, would have access in
advance to my mind. Actually, people have no idea of what I am speaking about.
Thus, the best way that I've found to communicate effectively was writing. This
is why I write so much, and I'm going to write about this amazing experience.
Around my 300º like I
realized that my goal was even bigger than I'd first thought. There was a
history behind every photo posted and it would be unfair to give a like without
even knowing what the photo was trying to reveal. At that moment, I realized
that I had already won the jackpot.
I will try in a simple
way describe what I felt through this trip from 2010 to 2018.
Firstly, I have to say that your professional
evolution is clear, as well as the evolution of your photos and the way you
work. The Japanese say that if you want to be outstanding in something you need
to repeat that 1000 times. Indeed, repetition leads you to excellence, but it's
impossible to reach that without discipline, without the willingness to become
outstanding. I believe that you do your work with excellence, and the only
reason you have reached success was throughout a lot of discipline, the desire
to be always better and the desire to learn and find something new. Keep doing
this buddy. Don't be afraid of the unpredictable, don't be afraid to take
decisions, only the most prepared people are capable of leave their footprints
on this planet. You are one of them.
It was amazing to see
how your "models" were changing during this time. For necessity, to
fill the gap or to supply the absence of someone. Or, to supply the need of the
one who did not even exist. I loved when Frankie was your main model and he was
your son and you were his daddy. Also, I could see all you love with your
nephews and all your happiness. Although I could see your sadness when they
stopped appearing in your photos. Fortunately, as this universe is wise, soon
another model started to show up in your photos. Your son was born and with
him, all that happiness were back, your photos were more vivid, the light was
different. In some way, they were reflecting all of your love and joy for your
paternity. I couldn't forget to mention, your model number one, your wife.
Always supporting you, she has a paramount role in the achievement of that
excellence that I mentioned before.
Congratulations to
value your mother and by the dozens of kisses and hugs that I could see through
your photos. Be aware that when everything is falling apart and there is only
hopeless, she will be there, ready to have you and help you in some way, here
in this world or in any other place in this universe. Be a son is wonderful,
and I am glad to know that you are a really good son. Only when we are good
sons for our parents we are capable of being good fathers for our sons.
I thought amazing that
you, a world-class photographer, also used to put "boards" in your
photos on Instagram. I believed that I was the only one who liked to do that. I
loved to know that I was on the right path. Also, I loved to testify your
celebrations when your heart's team, Avai, did win games. I don't know where is
your bike anymore, there were only two photos of it. I am so sad that there is
no more Orkut because your mother can't look after her "farm"
anymore. Fortunately, Candy Crush is over, so you can have your "wife
back" ( but today there is the “train city”).
It's amazing how the
success is not capable of changing the essence of certain people. You are one
of them. There are people who didn't travel half of you have done, who don't know
half of the people that you know, who didn't achieve 1/10 of your success but
has no education enough to say one simple "good morning" to you.
The reason for those
achievements is that you are humble, just, with untouched values, and I am very
proud to call you as my friend. A person who embraces and kisses my son as if
he were his own son, will never be
tempted to change, no matter how much success he has achieved in life.
It's a privilege for
me to say to everyone that I know you. It's a privilege for me to call you my
friend. I want to say thank you for had given me this prize in advance. Have
the chance to follow your history was one of the good things that happened to
me. I feel like a winner.
May God continue to
bless you and your family. May the clicks of your camera continue to accompany
the beating of your heart forever and ever.
