I lived in Barra do Bugres (160 km. north of Cuiabá) for six years, during the 70's, and still communicate regularly with friends there.
I happened on you site some months ago, and was very impressed with the quality and variety of your photographs. Being an amateur photographer, and somewhat of a petty and envious individual, I often find it hard to compliment another photographer. But you, sir, are good. Knowing the mato and wildlife quite well, I am amazed at the work you must go to in order to achieve such good and varied photos.
I read in your blog that you're considering giving up the fight. Being a melancholy man myself, I understand your fellings, but encourage you to stay in the struggle.
Having been away from Brasil for quite a number of years, I'm ignorant of the economic dynamics of Mato Grosso and Brasil.
There must be some way for you to eke out a subsistence living - especially with your degree as an electrical engineer, coupled with your excellence as a photographer.
Anyway, if you should read this, and wish to communicate with a mediocre gringo photographer about Cuiabá, Barra do Bugres, Cáceres, and the other towns of whats now called médio norte of Mato Grosso, send an email to bbugres@gmail.com
I promise not to proselytize or lecture.
Felize natal, e um prósper ano novo. Vá aguentando rapaiz. A vida não é tão ruim, não. Você bem podia estar aqui na neve de Montana, nos eua, em vez de Mato Grosso.
