Just a sunny Sunday. Snaps from earlier today on the South Bank.
More and more I hate flying! Not that I’m afraid of flying, actually the time in the airplane is the eye of the storm of this thing called “air travel after the pandemic” (not that before was great), which starts the time you try to book the flights. Yes, prices are sky high; yes, now every kind of luggage is paid separately; yes, the price of that is also sky high… But every time you trick to book something you seem to find a new trick up their sleeve, the most recent for me is some companies somehow finding a way to charge more for cabin luggage than checked luggage. Yup, you read it right, more expensive to bring the luggage with you in the cabin…
Still in the aftermath of Gustavo Minas workshop last weekend, one thing I really enjoy watching the outcome of when several photographers share the same limited space. It was already Sunday’s late afternoon and we were gathering for a beer before, everything was over, literally just chilling out before heading home. But all of us, as the light went down, eventually started taking some shots while chatting with the beer in the hand. Including me. And throughout the week, as people started sharing these late shots with everyone else, it felt nice to check all those different views of several photographers, at the same spot, at the same time.
About this last weekend, there’s only one thing to talk about: workshop with the talented Gustavo Minas. Literally two very full days, of learning, sharing, taking photos and, of course, with some beers in between.Now it’s time to take a deep breath and let the dust settle.
O problema não é apenas pessoas que não leram um livro. Eu posso ter doutoramento em Física Quântica, mas isso não me dá autoridade para falar de Biologia. Mas muita da “verdade alternativa” hoje em dia vem daí. “Hoje pessoas que nunca leram um livro sobre um assunto acham a sua opinião equivalente à de um cientista que andou a vida a estudá-lo”
Recently I noticed someone complaining some photography Youtubers are bad photographers. What’s the problem with that?! I’m watching their videos, not buying their prints or photo books. I do follow some that I don’t find really talented in their photos, but that do create good photography content.
Foi bonita a festa, pá!Nestes tempos estranhos, ver este mar de gente a descer a avenida da Liberdade para os 50 anos do 25 de Abril enche-me a alma.Agora vou ali e já venho, até já!
Some picks from last Sunday’s walk with my mate Luís, feeling kind of lazy for some time so these challenges, or should I say dares, are the push I need. Feeling less and less pressure to actually bring cool photos when I go out, and enjoying that a lot.
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!
Somehow the warm sunny days are the ones that feel just right to go around the neighborhood, and beyond, and do some photos. Just a handful of snaps from this weekend. #chelas #lisbon #portugal
