Hello, my name is Carla and I'm addicted to severe weather :)
My idea of a good time? Go around the world chasing storms, wherever they might take me. Maybe one day... one (other?) lifetime... For now, I remain an armchair storm chaser :)

Photography is all about catching the light... the perfect light. I'll keep on trying but, anyway, the real fun is in the chase, right? ;)
Lisbon is my city, 1971 is when I first saw the light and I've been chasing it ever since, I guess... (although I've only been doing it with a camera since 2003 ;)
Then, I joined Flickr on October 31st, 2007... and my life has never been the same :)
I thank you all for that.

"I think I first 'met' Carla (aka Sky Queen) flying in the sky above the rooftops of her beloved Portugal and I have never looked at the sky (or the world - or even life) in quite the same way since. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Carla, she has taught me so much and to look at things so differently - and I now venture out into wild windy weather to take photos just for her! My buddy C is just the kindest, warm hearted and most generous person you will ever know on Flickr. Her work is supremely professional and wonderful - a complete inspiration. I urge everyone to look and learn. You are the best C! Love ya. x"

"A lot of people have talent for photography.
Some people have the luck to live in beautiful places, with peach and raspberry sunsets and horses running with the manes in the wind.
Few people is able to make every shot different even when they picture the same place, giving to every shot a different deep emotion.
Carla is the only one that I know able to do all this and even something more: her brilliant outlook on the world is like a blast of fresh wind through a window: every time that i look at her photostream I feel happy and I realise once more how beautiful can be our world."22nd January, 2008

"Carla è una persona molto sensibile, attratta da tutto ciò che la circonda ed è in grado di dare a chi guarda le sue foto, la stessa emozione che ha provato nel scattarle.
