Postcards is a series of 21 photographs selected from the archive of nature photographer, Leonide Principe. This collection of unique non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is reminiscent of the early 1990s, when printed paper reigned supreme and the fledgling Photographic Archive debuted by publishing postcards of the Amazonian region in cities such as Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and New York.

Being distributed in the main cities of entry for international tourism, these postcards reached all corners of the planet and were collected on a large scale in Brazil, showing the hidden magic of the region to a global audience. These postcards were a popular way to document a trip and share the landscapes and tourist attractions of a particular place with friends and family.

The NFTs in this series reflect the original postcards published in the 1990s, even in its graphic design, providing a nostalgic experience.

The Amazon rainforest is home to several species of big cats, including the jaguar locally known as the iauaretê, onça-pintada e onça-preta (Panthera onca), the puma ou cougar also known as suçuarana, onça-parda ou onça-vermelha (Puma concolor) and the ocelot also known as the gato-maracajá (Leopardus pardalis).

Living in the Amazon rainforest, the presence of jaguars can be a constant threat. At first, I was unaware of the danger they posed and would walk through the forest with a sense of innocence and wonder. I was captivated by the stunning plant forms and insects I encountered, and was completely immersed in my work as a photographer. But as I began to monitor my surroundings more closely, with camera-trap, I realized the regularity of jaguars in my vicinity. This newfound knowledge shattered my innocence and I began to carry a stick for protection, constantly wary of the potential threat.

I struggled with the loss of innocence. I struggled with the question of how to enter the forest with original serenity, in peace, and how to master my energy matrix. This challenge became my main task and continues to be a question that I explore today, not only in the forest, but also in the world at large. We live in a troubled and decadent world where values are falling apart and certainties are scarce. But I believe that true balance and fairness can only be found within, in the depths of our being, and in the way we treat all beings that inhabit the planet, including jaguars.

The orchids featured in this collection were gathered as part of a 1997 project called “A Journey in the Treetops.” The project involved several expeditions over the course of a year, during which a photographer, a biologist, and a support team ventured deep into the forest to search for flowered species of orchids. Tree climbing techniques were employed to access the orchids in their natural habitat. This epic undertaking resulted in multiple exhibitions and extensive coverage in the Brazilian press, as well as a documentary featured on CNN.

The tree climbing is an activity that combines adventure, challenge, and connection with nature. The tree is the master that guides and teaches patience, is a living and imposing sculpture that offers itself to the personal challenge of the climber.

The technique of tree climbing involves the use of a slingshot to launch a nylon line and position the climbing rope on the desired branch. Before starting the climb, the climber carefully checks the equipment and system, as well as explores the area and evaluates any residents and the geographical configuration. The choice of the tree is guided by factors such as beauty, location, and view, but it must also meet safety standards.

The climb is slow and careful, it requires attention, concentration, and the use of safety equipment. The climber must always be alert and prepared to deal with unexpected situations. The view from the top is breathtaking and the arrival is triumphant.

Tree climbing is an activity that requires skill, physical and mental preparation, as well as appropriate safety equipment. Tree climbing can also cause environmental impact, so it is important to take precautions to minimize these effects and be respectful to nature.
