I was recently in Nice, France for TM World's Management Forum 2009. Nice is one of the major cities along the famous Cote d'Azur at the French Riviera. I took this gorgeous shot of a lonely man walking through the narrow streets of it old district Vieux Nice. Click on the picture to see it large at its flickr page.
The Ponte Estaiada Otavio Frias de Oliveira has quickly become one of the most significant Sao Paulo landmarks. Enjoy here a widescreen format version of it (16:9 ratio). You can click on the picture to see it in large or see more beautiful pictures of Sao Paulo.
A kid's Pizza Parlor is probably one of the last places you will go to shoot great photos. Think again, there are many lights colors and movement you can capture there. Here are some pictures from my 9 year old birthday party at one such place. Click on any of them for its flickr page.
More picture to come soon.
This scene caught my attention while walking through the beach at Lagoinha beach at the north end of Florianopolis. Five people, each different and each in different activities were standing close, but actually making completely different things. The kid in the front is particularly oblivious to the rest of the people playing with his board.

For all my close friends that have followed me over the last few years, you know that the end of last year was a period of intense change in my life. I got married for a second time, I changed jobs leaving my 9.5 year old job at Intel and I decided to stay in Brazil instead of moving to the US with Intel. During all of this time this blog was really quiet as I was really busy reinventing myself.
Now it's time to start up again. I have joined Comptel, a Finnish Company that is a leader in the field of software to support operations for Telcos. I am running the operations for the company in the Americas. My job continues to require me to travel through the Americas and I get to experience interesting situations and capture many wonderful photos of our continent as a side benefit. I am also in much more contact with Europe, having a chance to visit several places in the old continent in the last couple of months.
I will go ahead and try to make come changes to the blog. For one thing, I will include more of my photos that have become hugely popular in flickr. My flickr pages and photos now have surpassed the 2 Million visit mark and are visited by an average of more than six thousand people per day. If you want to access my flickr page go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/carreon . I recently had a chance to visit Mobile World Congress in Barcelona so you can find many great photos there.
In summary, I am happy to restart updating my blog now with many new things to share in my life. I hope you all continue to join me and send me your feedback. See you all around.
I just uploaded several photos of people at the beach taken from far and above them. Please click on the picture to see this an other pictures on my flickr stream.
Greetings from Turku, Finland.
This picture has become an instant sucess on my flickr photo stream. It is a rather simple photo, but there are a couple of reasons that are behind its sucess: 1) the fact that the lady walkingthe beach stands tall above the crowd and 2) the irresistible red hat on her head. I hope you enjoy it too. Click on the picture to access its flickr page.
