This, my first photo essay about the Amazon, is all about the river, the forest and its inhabitants... these images try to convey the contrasts and diversities you can find at the very edge of civilized life... a few words help you feel the place.
The memories, buried deep into my skin, nose and eye balls, are hard to describe, like the smell of the "fornos de lenha" (wood stoves) along the river, the view of magnificent sunrises and sunsets, the ever changing sounds and smell of the forest, the smiles of the people, the purity of the kids playing in the water... the birds singing in the fresh early morning, before the sun shows its rays throught the trees... and during the nigths, those amazing starry skys, clean, pure, fresh... the crickets, joining the choir of owls, frogs and toads... and the constant sound: the splash of the water...
I felt so insignificant in front of so much energy... Life in the river is intense, difficult, but there is an attraction that I can hardly understand or express... Hope these images will bring you some of my emotions...

The Gift on the Water / Omi Odára
Viver Brasil Dance Company
by Jorge Vismara
Viver Brasil inspired me with their simplicity and at the same time their richness, their respectful approach to the roots of the Bahian traditional dance.
I'm amazed with their deep understanding of movement and sound, while choreographing old style candomblé and/or carnival pieces, with a fresh and cotemporary spirit.
This, my first book, is a dedication to their criativity.

Yuval Ron Ensemble
uniting the music and dance of the people of the Middle East
by Jorge Vismara
from Yuval Ron Ensemble's mission: embracing diversity... we cannot agree more.
On this, our, planet we need more bridges between people of various faiths and ethnic groups.
Dance and music, as well as images, are the perfect tools to communicate beyond words as you can talk directly to the essence of the other soul.
I'm honored to be able to collaborate with Yuval Ron in this my second book.

This book is the first one, of a series I'm working on, trying to bring words and images... or ways of thinking and feeling... into a small format.
The idea of putting together images with some thoughts/quotes/words that can make you think, make you consider a possible outcome, or just make you stop the everyday process into a moment of silence, going inside, it was a project that was tickling in my back pocket for a while.
Here my first attempt.
CUP OF JAVA Offering a transcendent journey into the far reaches of Javanese performing arts, seven of Java’s most distinguished artists draw from Hindu and Islamic traditions to present works that are a synthesis of energy, spirituality and emotion. “Cup of Java” brings to the American stage a theatrical production of dynamic contrast – a vocabulary of refined gestures, resplendent costumes and masks, unique polyrhythms of bronze gamelan instruments with a strong vocal component. The versatility of these artists is demonstrated by their outstanding skills as classical Javanese dancers, vocalists and instrumentalists. Their ability to integrate these diverse performance genres – which are normally separate forms and rendered by different artists – is innovative and created especially for this concert. Javanese artists: Yustinus Aristono, Supriyanto Martadiharja, Rukman Rosadi, Semidi, Sunardi, Heni Winahyuningsih, and Daruni Yutta. Gamelan music by: Djoko Walujo, I Nyoman Wenten and California Institute of the Arts’ Javanese gamelan ensemble.
