Joe Correia was born in Portugal in 1945. He moved to the United States in 1970 and has made The USA his permanent home.
In the past 40 years America has been Joe’s canvas for a very broad range of professional experiences from corporate management to college educator, curriculum developer for educational fields varying from K through 12 and college levels, and filmmaker mostly in the educational/commercial/defense markets.; however, he always has found time for his love of the arts.
Joe has served in The USA Army as a combat photographer, he is also a photojournalist and illustrator. Some of his clients are international companies such as General Dynamics, Atlantic Research Corporation, NASA, AMFUEL, and LTV to name a few. Among various dignitaries his portfolio includes, President Regan, President Clinton, Pope John Paul II, Jim Rodenberry, Connie Francis, James Earl Joans, James Wheatmore, Tippi Edrin, Billy D. Williams, David Brown, Chief Little Horse (last Living descendent of Geronimo) and Ken Burns.
Joe has traveled from coast to coast and from Florida to Alaska several times and has given lectures all around The USA. His lectures focus on sharing with the audience the experiences that he has had, what he has learned, and how his sense of spirituality and love for all life has continued to grow as he focuses on his passion for photography.
Joe has started a new approach to his work, which he calls: "Conducting Light." Joe selects various images and weaves them into a single visual message. "As a composer selects musicians to create a concert I select images to play a part of a broader and more complex piece" Joe says. With the coming of age of digital photography Joe creates what his heart feels with what his eyes show him.
"My life is my classroom, the universe is my Holly Book, the days are its pages, and each moment is a word. What I learn is simply how to live more intensely."
" For me life is all bout passion: the more you have of it the more intense life is and its lessons greater"
"Nothing gratifies me more than knowing that through something I may do or say, someone's heart is a little happier.
"The only thing we take with us is the love we give"
"When you fill your heart with love there is no room left for anything else"
Often those taken for your worse enemies, turn out to be some of your best friends in the long run. They may cause us great pain and suffering, however, they often bring with them an opportunity for us to grow to levels of wisdom that otherwise we might never experience.
When we start to see differences as contributions, and adversity as a challenge to make us greater, we are getting ready to enter a life of bliss that otherwise will be only a mystery.
Joe has also, since very early childhood, been exposed to very unusual experiences, from near death out of the body experiences, child abuse, to learning from various masters about sciences, esoterics, hypnotism, and philosophy. Joe speaks four languages: English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish. From an early age he found himself in a position of confidante and spiritual supporter to ears and often others much older than he.
He also has published a book: “The Other Side of Light”
In the end, my friends, when it all had been said and done all we take with us is the love wee give

Hi Zé! Its birthday time yet again!!
I hope you are keeping well - and continuing to share your "special" magic with humanity... Its a sad truism that the "older" humanity becomes the less "responsible" (ethical, sharing, loving) and the more "me first" (grabbing, dishonest etc..) it is..... May the world finally "hit the buffers" hard enough to hear the words that you and like minded people have been saying (including the Beatles): ALL there is is LOVE.
Blessings my friend!!!

The sweetness, the beauty, and the aura of love and spirituality that your work evokes, makes your art true medicine for the heart and soul. Even the avatar you chose reflects that which I relate to as the "Pure Divine Feminine Energy"
If only 2% of your generation were to alight with your gift, this planet would reach the critical mass of the transformation for good that we are looking for!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gracefulness of your inspiring gifts!

Thank you for you wonderful reply! I do appreciate your words indeed. If you saw the movie "The Red Violin" I would use it as an allegory to the way I think and write. The beauty of the violin was its ability to translate the energy, of whoever artist's played it, into a music form. While without the instrument there would be no music, without the musician the violin would just stand there. Maybe part of me is a kind of instrument that may execute well, but here, in this instance, you my dear, you are the artist! I simply became instrumental with the words and thoughts.
In this journey I believe we start as an instrument of art, then a creator of art, and eventually we become both: the art itself. Not the instrument or the musician, but rather the DANCE.
It is a joy to share smiles from the heart with you...

Very mutual then!
There are literally millions of images created every hour globally, yet, your work has a mix of femininity, elegance, fashion, attitude, humor, and an interpretative quality of merging all these elements as we learned them from school and college, with our contemporary style! It all works extremely well, and reflects cultural wisdom, insightfulness, and a very bright spirit on your part!!!!!!!
Thanks for your reply!
