Sávio Cavalcante 🍃🦗swipe to get a glimpse of what you may see during one research night at Parque Nacional da Tijuca! this is a collage of some critters I found while waving my flashlight in the trails of my local national park year ago. I started this little project of merging photographs to make instagram seamless carousels, but photoshop skills aren't exactly my strengh, I'm learning as I try to piece the pictures together. Maybe eventually I'll see them in a big fricking frame on the wall 😁 tell me if you like the idea!
