Just Processed

Work straight out of the oven.

    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.

    Catching up with some of the stuff I still hadn’t posted around here, all from my random walks around Lisbon.

    Em tempos estranhos como estes, gritar liberdade é cada vez mais importante.E que dia bonito foi hoje!

    Bits from Bairro Alto.

    In stormy Sundays you can always go back to the stuff you have from sunny days, like just a week ago.

    Still from last week’s march against racism here in Lisbon, something that, according to our prime-minister, is very radical to do…Let’s be radical then.

    Just photowalking in sunny a December Saturday.

    Still from this weekend’s Bairro do Grilo, or Bairro das Artes: a showcase of how a arts could fill an empty and abandoned industrial complex in Lisboa. Hopefully won’t be a single event…
