In Action
Behind the scenes and the occasional selfie.
Time to close this chapter...
The last few months, since October, have been intense. I’ve taken very few photos outside my work at Masterclass Narrativa, as most of my energy went there, leaving little for anything else.
It started with outlining and shaping the key ideas of the project; then came the weeks in the field—trying, failing, and trying again. After that, the final edit gave it its form. And finally, the pleasure of sharing it.
Now that chapter is behind me: the exhibition has ended, the photos are packed away, and this iteration of the project is closed. That doesn’t mean it’s over—quite the opposite. It’s meant to continue, and there’s still more I want to show.
But there is a sense of closure. A moment to look back on the path, what I’ve learned, and the people I’ve met along the way.
It really was a great trip.
The good thing of returning early from your Morocco trip is that you have the rest of the day to do your chores…
…like starting to importing your photos.
That’s a wrap! E assim do nada passaram estes meses de Masterclass Narrativa, que na verdade parece que foi bem mais tempo do que a realidade. Foi intenso, deu trabalho, mas muito estou contente com o resultado. Já a 7 de Março, na Narrativa, vamos poder partilhar tudo.
Clearing the way to import all Pakistan photos means going back to older stuff (don’t ask…), in this case means culling one of the most colorful Entroido of Galicia: Entroido Ribeirão!
So, this happened! For long the Ricoh GR didn’t appeal to me because I simply couldn’t handle its focal distance, and lately I noticed I’ve been slowly and consistently drifting towards it. Things indeed change. Add that with a very neat campaign, and here we are.
Plenty of work ahead, still halfway importing the photos from Pakistan!
For many reasons, one of which a trip to the Balkans, I wasn’t able to come to my little retreat in Central Portugal as often as usual in the Summer, so I’m fixing that while weather still is nice. Not that’s bad being here in winter, but this hammock isn’t as fun in cold days.
When the route Google Maps gives your accommodation takes you through one of the most beautiful roads you’ve taken, going down a narrow and curvy valley for kilometers. That’s a good day! And by the way, that accommodation happens to be the guesthouse of a monastery you wanted to visit.
There’s an unwritten rule that every once in a while a photographer must do a self portrait in a random shiny surface found along another photowalk. Here I found a golden opportunity for that!
