Satori is a Japanese Buddist term for enlightment.
The word literally means "understanding", and is used to refer to deep or lasting enlightenment.
João's eyes explain the choice of this title.

Eduardo.affonso said at 7:54 p.m. on May 21, 2008: Wow, DEN, you are speaking Portuguese now! Мне жаль, что я не могу говорить на русском языке... In fact, I studied Russian for one year when I was 19 - and have forgotten everything.
This is my grand-nephew João, 3 months old now, capturing the world with the lenses of his intense, expressive, lovely black eyes.
Liliana said at 8:02 p.m. on May 21, 2008: Muy dulce... Me quedé pensando en lo de "lonely" ojos... Como siempre, interesantísimo lo lingüístico.

Eduardo.affonso said at 8:41 p.m. on May 21, 2008: Lonely ou lovely, LILIANA?
DEN: It must have been a great experience to live in Moçambique. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, but I'd like very much to spend some time there. Mozambicans speak Portuguese with an accent that is very similar to ours - much softer than the way it's spoken in Portugal. You'll be seeing many photos of João from now on - as you have probably noticed, I'm a very proud uncle (and grand-uncle!).
Liliana said at 9:02 p.m. on May 21, 2008: Qué boba, con razón no entendía... creo, absolutamente, en un "lapsus facial" , como diria Mafalda. Je, je, no facial, "linguae", clarísimo, de interpretación mía... Me alegro de qe no sean "lonely"... :)

Swedfinn said at 1:59 a.m. on May 22, 2008: A cute little face! Their expressions are interesting to observe. Good work!
EMA said at 5:08 p.m. on May 22, 2008: So beautiful your little grand-nephew! Great portraits of him. So many gorgeous expressions!
Marranei said at 10:56 a.m. on May 23, 2008: Muito fofo! Quem sabe o que essas cabecinhas pensam em tão tenra idade?
Maz2001 said at 8:33 p.m. on May 23, 2008: The expressions are priceless. Great shots.
AliDar said at 1:50 a.m. on May 24, 2008: Excellent photos! Seems babies are born with something we soon grow out of and then spend the rest of our lives trying to find. But all you have to do is look into their eyes to find it again. Your grand nephew is very beautiful. I can't stop smiling at him. :)
AliDar said at 1:54 a.m. on May 24, 2008: The second large shot is just amazing, ... the expression on his face....
Liliana said at 4:11 p.m. on May 24, 2008: Cuando lei "Satori" la primera vez pensé qe era un bebito japonés... Ja, ja, ja...
