My Interests

Dreams do come true! I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Mr. David Mack of "Kabuki" and "Daredevil" fame, one of the greatest artists of our time! Check out www.davidmackguide.com or www.myspace.com/davidmackkabuki for more on this amazing Author/Artist! Thank you David!


These are some of my interests: Mirage


R.E.A. (long awaited! thank you for this beautiful shoot!)


BrandySofijaSarah Jenelle Paul & Nekkaall forms of art, especially light painting photography. good conversations and or discussions. learning from books, people, nature, silence, sounds, anything, anyone. teach me something and i will be eternally grateful. movement, be it dancing, waves, traveling, social action, any kind of movement. eyes. eyes are very important to me. ask anyone who knows me. the windows of the soul. spirituality and the richness of cultures. justice. truth. equality. rebelious people. revolutionaries. people of courage. third world people(likemyself).all of Brasil, minha patria.Abraao, Ilha Grande, my home, my island. as cores verde amarelo azul e branco. Iemanja. Oxala. Obaluaie. Ogum. Oxum. todos os Orishas.Meus amigos Exu e Pombagira. observing people as they walk past me. looking for stains on a wall and finding faces. the ocean, our mother. (over?)analizing things until it hurts. astrology. ecology. surrealism. realism. art. Frida Kahlo. Alphonse Mucha, and obviously writing way more than i should. background image "Recreio, RJ, Brasil" Photo by Linda Costa.

I'd like to meet:

old friends, new friends, people with a purpose,models, art lovers, artists & thinkers long and gone (r.i.p), cartoon characters, comediants, revolutionaries, international folk, imaginary people, myself in full awareness of purpose, inspirational people, folks who actually have something to share (no "thanks for the add" kind need apply), a significant other who will share all life's silliness and beauty with me and hold my hand until i find myself and my path the way i would to them, since that's highly unlikely someone to have fun with in the meantime, dadaists, surrealists, socialists, anarchists, normal people who want to get crazy, crazy people who wish they were normal, and hopefully a psychologist or two to help me out here! :)ALL Photographs are Copyright Linda Costa. No images have been digitally altered. Contact me for more info, or if you're interested in having a shoot. Thanks.

Music:

IF YOU LIKE THE SONG ON MY PAGE CHECK OUT LOCAL ATL BAND "BATATA DOCE"!!! www.myspace.com/batatadocei like what i like and it's a bit varied... a little tom jobim and a little rage against the machine. i might dig something for how it flows or its beat, or for what the lyrics mean to me. mostly music has to say something to me, to my heart. currently obsessing over: os mutantes and all their conterparts of the tropicalia movement... hope ya'll like the sounds i dug up... :)

Movies:

movies i will always love: carandiru, cidade de deus (both brazilian made, and i'm proud to say that!), fight club (anyone who knows me knows that), eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (charlie kaufman is brilliant), amelie, run lola run, american beauty,donnie darko, snatch, all about my mother, amores perros, seven, reservoir dogs,ghost world, don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood,sin city, twelve monkeys, brazil (because of terry guilliam, not cuz i'm from there),slackers (older pete from pete&pete's innit!), cowboy beebop the movie... movies i have recently seen and enjoyed: thumbsucker, capote, walk the line (didn't think i'd like it, happy surprise), v for vendetta (loveeeeed), life aquatic, dave chapelle's block party, harrold and kumar (stupid and hilarious), conduct zero (ditto)... anime i can't live without: neon genesis evangelion (i'mmisato::belch::), earth maiden arjuna (why can't i save the world?), cowboy beebop (two words: ein & ed), berserk, golden boy (my bimo baby!), gto, abenobashi, Paranoia Agent (a must!!), Perfect Blue, (anything by Satoshi Kon), Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away....etc, etc...

Television:

i've spent years without watchin the tube but whenever i can i like catchin some: dave chapelle, john stewart, steven colbert, that 70's show, aqua teen hunger force (representin jersey and the A simultaneously!), duckman, rocko's modern life, mostly cartoons (80's toons, adult swim stuff, almost anything really), anime, or comedy. recently watched the series freaks and geeks on dvd and recomend it!

Books:

written on paper: on the road by keroac gets me going, love short stories (must be my attention span) so anything my mr. poe, currently into paulo coelho (the alchemist is beautiful), charles bukowski because he can make me laugh and cry, chuck palahniuk because his last name is harder to pronounce than to spell, albert camus because the stranger felt so familiar, gordon parks (eyeswithwingedthoughts)... as far as graphic novels and comix go, currently in love with: david mack's all around story telling abilities, visually and verbally (check out kabuki, or even his daredevil stuff, he's amazing), jhonen vazquez for bringing filler bunny to life and then torturing it for our viewing pleasure, jamie smart for that dastardly bear i so love (alright i guess i like lushkin too), mr mahfood for smoke dog and his adventures, terry moore (strangers in paradise), grant morrison for arkham asylum and gothic (my fave batman stories), alan moore (finished "the league.." and "V for Vendetta" recently, great stuff), frank miller (sin city)... just finished johnny jihad- go out and read it!, and of course always have and always will love mauricio de souza for turma da monica... spoken word: i'd like to show love and respect to all the spoken word artists out there. i've been lucky enough to meet and/or get to know a few of them in the atlanta area. my favorites are: Lady, Samia (aka Passion and Pain), Amir Sulaiman (check out his myspace it may change your life), Jon Goode, Kodac Harrison, Ayodele, Cola Rum. A lot of love to anyone that's ever performed at Java Monkey Speaks.

Heroes:

May all of those now gone who have inspired me rest in peace: Gordon Parks (photographer, composer, modern day renaissance man Frida Kahlo (master of translating pain to canvas) Salvador Dali (king of the surreal) Vincent Van Gogh (we share much more than just our birthdays) Edgar Allan Poe (lord of darkness) Ernesto "El Che" Guevara (the good doctor who spoke of freedom)
