" If I could ever hold on a moment
I`d never let it go,
Never in a million years...
If I could walk across the bridge of time,
But I know, I'll never, never, never get the chance,
I'll never get a second glance..."
Thanks for stoping by!
I live in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil:

"Have you been there?
What're you talkin' about, man?
I'm talkin' about Rio, Rio, Rio, Rio.
Any time, day or night, everything is so alive.
Nothing like it nowhere else.
It's a feeling that I've never felt.
Never stops, never ends.
It blows your mind just being there.
People dancing and singing loud.
People smiled as I walked around.
I felt so good, so I got down.
In Rio, Rio de Janeiro..."

"Neloqua takes photos of Rio like nobody else. She created a lovely portrait of the city by composing her pictures very carefully and by choosing bold and vivid colours. Her work always inspired me and makes me going back to Rio in the future.

"Actually she don't need another testimonial.
But I am in the opinion that i need to write one; as I have know her on flickr since over 3 years ago.
She is one of the very best imaging artist on flickr. Each of her exhibits here is a winner.
Please visit here more to discover even more.
I appreciate your everything."4th April, 2008

Passar pelo seu espaço é uma delícia .
É voltar a ver um Brasil que acho que muitos de nós já se esqueceu.
Sou sua fã desde a primeira vista.
Se houvesse um prêmio para a melhor página do Flickr eu daria a ela.
Tudo aqui é um banho de vida, amor e alegria.
Muito obrigada.

Your photography is SO awesome!
I always show others your beautiful work, and use your photos as a reference point for what REALLY looks GREAT!
I do not know you personally, but if your personality is anything like your photography, you are MUST be a delightful and wonderful person. To me, your personality shows in your work.
Stay beautiful!

"Um talento indescritível, que emociona! Consegue, por meio das suas maravilhosas fotografias, passar muita sensibilidade.
Ao lado disso, está sempre pronta a incentivar os seu contatos, de forma que, algum dia, algum deles poderá frequentar a capa do explore, como ela,usualmente, faz.
Mesmo de longe, sabemos tratar-se de uma pessoa muito especial."10th November, 2006

"Neusa posts such incredible beauty and links it perfectly with intention expressed through musical lyrics that sometimes i am so moved that i cannot comment . . . i truly sit, stare at the world she has delivered to me, and marvel at it.
Some time later, i can comment feebly and know that i must move on back to my world thousands of miles away. My world does not have the vibrancy that hers does :-)
Thanks, N, for bringing your world around to us with such care and clarity.
with true love,

"Como explicar um encontro "estranho-sereno" com uma mulher que me recebe de bracos abertos?
Abertos, voz suave, fala doce, olhos abertos, atentos, bonita-sorridente-delicada....Eu, capricorniana desconfiada-ja de tanto- e tao nova- levar pancadas da vida...sei nao...O que e que ela quer?
Nada. Pelo contrario, veio se doar para mim, me vendo tirar fotos quis que eu fizesse parte desse pedaco tao importante da vida dela.
Me convidou, aceitei.
Depois descobri a paciencia.
Depois descobri que dessa mulher doce e simpatica : simplesmente uma fera com unhas , dentes ,carne e peso na arte de fotografar...Me emocionou de tantas maneiras ao ver cada uma de suas preciosidades...Humilde..quem diria?
Voce e maravilhosa...
Eu so tenho de agradecer por voce ter entrado no meu caminho..quero aprender muito com voce...
E, capturarmos juntas , como naquele po-de-sol (cada uma com sua mao e sua lente), muitos outros cenarios, situacoes...pessoas.
Voce e Luz, QUE BRILHA!...Ganhaste admiradora-amiga...

"Neloqua é um destes casos em que basta a gente bater o olho a primeira vez para gostar de suas fotos. Cada clique é de uma beleza ímpar. Um momento de pura magia envolvendo os elementos da natureza.
Às vezes ela é solar, mas brinca com as águas com igual harmonia e naturalidade.
Ela revigora nossa alma com um instante de prazer e é sempre muito bom aparecer aqui para dar um olá."21st July, 2006

Em fotografia, já que é o assunto, ela é uma das poucas que consegue não cansar mantendo sempre o mesmo estilo ela capta e nos presenteia com os mais belos visuais das praias de Niterói, ela é fera!
Como pessoa ela é mais que especial, adoro vc Ne, beijo no coração :)"5th April, 2006

É D'OXUM

Nessa cidade todo mundo é d'Oxum
Homem, menino, menina, mulher
Toda essa gente irradia magia
Presente na água doce
Presente na água salgada
E toda a cidade brilha
Seja tenente ou filho de pescador
Ou importante desembargador
Se der presente
É tudo uma coisa só
A moça que mora na água
Não faz distinção de cor
E toda cidade é d'Oxum
Nessa cidade todo mundo é d'Oxum
Homem, menino, menina, mulher
Toda essa gente irradia magia
Presente na água doce
Presente na água salgada
E toda a cidade brilha

Nas ondas do mar
Eu vou navegar
