I somehow really connected with this thread; the shots of your apartments and views really got my attention. I see you like plants, and I love you how included them in your shots, even the one out the window. I like plants too, they really liven up even the coldest of interior spaces.

Thanks, man! I actually was only going to do that thread for precisely one year, and then stop. It was going to be a semi-documentation of my area during the COVID pandemic, but then it evolved into something else... It's funny because I also started seeing it as a photo diary, and yes, what some people might think of as mundane or ordinary or insignificant, has some meaning for me. And it's funny because in the past, when I showed people my vacation pictures of cities, I'm the kind of person who takes photos of manhole covers or sewer grates because I find them interesting, especially if they're not like the kind I'm used to in my city, and then my friends/family will say "Why did you take a picture of THIS??"

Have fun taking your photos! Again, I can't wait to see more. I've been wanting to visit Brazil but have never gotten around to doing it. I'm sure I would find São Paulo to be very interesting!
