Although , I was born and grew up in Sao Jose dos Campos , Brazil , I've been living in Japan since December 1994 . 
   My first "serious" camera was a Contax G1 rangefinder film camera , I bought circa 1998 . I've been taking pictures with Canon ILC cameras since 2012 .
   I'm a self taught computer builder , having built my own computers since 1999 . Although I use Microsoft Windows most of the time , I put emphasis on using Open Source Software whenever possible .
