EN: Back in 2006, I was lucky enough to visit the charming island of Madeira as a guest speaker at the University of Madeira. During my stay, I managed to take some truly breathtaking photos of the island's picturesque scenery. Additionally, I was able to capture some stunning shots of barns in Lindoso and beautiful landscapes in Alentejo. I even had some fun experimenting with soap bubbles, which led to some fascinating photographic discoveries that were later featured in magazines.
PT: Em 2006, tive a oportunidade de captar algumas imagens cativantes na pitoresca ilha da Madeira enquanto participava como convidado/orador num evento da Universidade da Madeira. Notavelmente, também pude capturar fotos impressionantes de celeiros no Lindoso e paisagens pitorescas no Alentejo. Além disso, experimentei bolhas de sabão, resultando em algumas descobertas fotográficas interessantes que foram publicadas em revistas.
