Jaime's PHOTOGRAPHS

Jaime's breakfast table.

even though there's a wine bottle this is supposed to be a breakfast table.

Jaime's kitchen table; with his studio in the background.

Jaime's kitchen in the last house he lived in; which used to be his sister Renata's.

same kitchen...

Breakfast was Jaime's favourite meal... so he liked it very colourful and gay.

Jaime's bedroom... see the Bollywood billboard on the wall.

a little more caffé-late with rolls and jam...

NAZARÉ PAULISTA-SP

Jaime Ponciano lived and worked in the outskirts of Nazaré Paulista-SP an old town in the mountains not far from Mairiporã e Atibaia.

Jaime moved there in the late 1990s and lived in a rural area called Cuiabá-de-Cima where his family still have a plot-of-land and a few houses. Jaime loved the place which is perched on a hill-side that sometimes reminds 'The Sound of Music' scenery.

Here are some impressions on Cuiabá-de-Cima e Nazaré Paulista and its surrounding area that Jaime put on paper. He took some photographs too.

This is how the house would have looked like if it had been completed.  The smaller house on the right is made out of timber and used to be Jaime's studio [atelie]. 

Jaime's abode incomplete.

The hills are alive with the sound of music...

on the right: part of Jaime's kitchen with a [blue] door leading to the bathroom and another door  leading to his bedroom.
