Just Processed

Work straight out of the oven.

A bit of randomness from the past few weeks, where the only thing in common is that none of these photos is related with the project that grabbed my attention for months, not even taken in the same region. The fact all that shifted into the process of editing and setting up the exhibit that’s now live (see what I did here?) kind of let my eye look elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the Masterclass exhibit with mine and my colleagues projects will remain at Narrativa in Lisbon until April 18.

A cluttered pile of clothes and fabric partially obscures an old-fashioned corded telephone in dim lighting. A person is walking through a shadowy passageway with sunlight streaming through openings, illuminating parts of the scene. A storefront window displays multiple torso mannequins standing and stacked on shelves. A tall building stands illuminated against a twilight sky, surrounded by trees and a dimly lit parking area. A window set in a stone wall displays red neon text partially reading THE MISSING POEM IS. Two people are observing a religious procession where participants in purple robes carry ornate banners. A woman taking a selfie is visible through the window of a yellow tram, while a man in sunglasses stands outside. A coiled cable rests on metal beams by the water, with a bright orange barrier and a ship visible in the background. A person is sitting in the back of a car, visible through a rain-covered window. A dimly lit loading dock at a large, dark warehouse is illuminated by a single overhead light.

Between my ongoing photo project and an exhausting end of year in general, I haven’t been doing a lot of more casual, candid snaps. Usually plenty of these are done in my commutes and random daily chores in town, but even that hasn’t happened as often. And yet, I was able to do some.

A person is using an escalator in an indoor space with striped walls and overhead lighting. A street vendor stands by a roasting cart with steam rising, against a backdrop of a building adorned with illuminated decorations and the word SPACIO. A man wearing a beige jacket and blue jeans is walking near a bus shelter with an advertisement for pizza delivery. Two people are interacting on a city street, with one holding a baby in a carrier, while another person talks on a phone in the background. A street corner features a wall covered with colorful posters and a green pedestrian crossing signal beside it. A person stands on a cobblestone sidewalk at night with a stroller near a street with cars. A person is sitting alone at a table inside a restaurant with a cracked window featuring a Don't Touch sign. Two people wearing winter clothing are talking on a dimly lit sidewalk at night. A group of people are waiting on a subway platform, many using their phones. A cobblestone pathway flanked by graffiti-covered buildings leads to a waterfront view under a cloudy sky.

Life happening in front of you when you’re heading somewhere.

The developer in me, the one with the day job, went to a big and shiny developer conference last week, with plenty of keynotes, demos and presentations of Outsystems, the platform I’ve been working for some years. But the photographer in me couldn’t stay at home, especially now that I’m back in having a truly pocketable camera. I tend not to talk about gear often, but the Ricoh GR really is the perfect everyday carry!

A speaker is presenting on stage with a Welcome Back message displayed on large screens to an audience in a spacious, futuristic venue. Silhouetted individuals are seated in a dimly lit room with purple lighting, while others are seen walking through a lit doorway. Several individuals stand in a dimly lit space with red lights illuminating concrete pillars. A dimly lit room with a blue floor, illuminated by colored lights and a few people visible in the background. A group of people is gathered in a dimly lit room, illuminated by a purple light, creating a dramatic atmosphere. A person wearing green-lit headphones is seated in a dimly lit room with people and a screen in the background displaying text. People are seated and standing in a dimly lit auditorium with blue and purple lighting. A man with a backpack is standing alone checking his phone under a red light, while a group of people interacts nearby under a covered outdoor area. A person walks past a doorway where another person stands, with a dimly lit, purple and blue room visible behind them. A stage with a Welcome Back message and a computer monitor is set up in a large, dimly lit auditorium with rows of empty chairs.

Slowly pushing processed photos to my online archive (a.k.a. Flickr), like this big batch from a trip to Madeira a couple of years ago, including the mandatory photos at Fanal.

August in a handful of photos. Without any particular meaning, in no given order, just picking a bit of everything. Sometimes you feel nothing remarkable has happened, until you look back and actually find some cool bits here and there.

A colorful inflatable ring floats in a swimming pool. A woman in a green dress pulls a yellow suitcase through a crowded market or street area. Three scooters are parked in stands against a brick wall. Passengers are seated and standing inside a moving train, with sunlight streaming through the windows. A small dog sniffs a pair of purple slippers on a tiled floor near a body of water. Sunlight illuminates a concrete stairway framed by walls with graffiti, leading out to a bright area surrounded by foliage. A woman pushing a child in a stroller walks on a city sidewalk near a bank named Banco Montepio. Various fake designer handbags are displayed on a table covered with an orange and white cloth, set against a backdrop of trees and buildings. A footpath in a grassy area features a tilted pedestrian sign for adults with children, surrounded by sparse trees and distant apartment buildings. A red plastic bowl containing blood is on the ground next to a knife with a red-stained blade, surrounded by splatters and a white feather. A black Audi station wagon is parked on a cobblestone street in front of a building covered in colorful graffiti. Two glass bottles wrapped in wicker are placed in front of an intricately designed brick wall. Two glasses of cider and a camera sit on a wooden outdoor table with people in the background.

A Summer Sunday in the city… In the middle of August… You can’t get more calm and laid than this, in a very slow and sleepy way.
Another of those photowalks me and Luís do in less obvious places, often the best ones.

A serene park scene features people relaxing on the grass and others boating on a calm pond, surrounded by tall palm trees. A glass of beer is on a wooden table outdoors, accompanied by a bowl, a water bottle, a coffee cup, and a pigeon nearby. A pile of discarded wooden boards and shoes is stacked on a cobblestone street near a graffiti-covered dumpster, with a pigeon perched on top. A sandy outdoor soccer field with a goalpost is viewed through a chain-link fence, surrounded by trees under a clear sky. Three electric scooters are parked beside a brick wall on a sunny day. A small aircraft is flying in the sky near a large building with multiple windows. A concrete staircase leads up between high walls, partially shaded by overhanging leaves. A person rides a bicycle past modern buildings with large windows and a small sidewalk. People are sitting at outdoor tables under umbrellas, enjoying the sunny weather, with a few pigeons nearby. A person is silhouetted against light at the end of a dark tunnel.
