In the last few days the skyes were heavy and gloomy, filled with dark clouds, a storm that doesn’t seem to fade away. The forecast for the upcoming week is more forgiving, we shall see if that holds or not… #beirabaixa #portugal #fujixt3 #snapseed
Not your usual pretty photo of Portugal’s landscape, like a swing and a gorgeous view with an inspiring, but rather empty, quote like every other influencer does. But this is Portugal nevertheless, and something typical of this time of year. #beirabaixa #portugal #fujixt3 #snapseed
“Alminhas.Small shrine where people can stop briefly to leave a prayer and sometimes a small coin for the souls of those who have already gone. Usually placed by a road or pathway, sometimes in a settlement or at a crossroads, but often in the middle of an empty stretch of country road, or at the top of a hill or mountain. It is also frequent to find a burning candle or lamp, or even other offerings like flowers.”This one fits perfectly the definition: standing at the top of a hill, in the middle of nowhere, by a crossroad, like so many others in the region,and feeling particularly eerie today with the thick fog that today covered one of my backyard photography spots. I didn’t say a prayer or leave a coin, but being November 1st I did save a thought for the dead… #beirabaixa #portugal #fujixt3 #snapseed

Apesar de o mês estar já a terminar, só para lembrar que a revista CAIS de outubro foi dirigida pela equipa do National Geographic
Exodus Aveiro Fest, que juntou uma bela galeria dos vários oradores das últimas edições, entre as quais esta foto minha da Grande Mesquita de Delhi. Kudos para o meu “companheiro de armas” Ruben Vicente, que está também nesta galeria com outra bela foto da Índia. Alem disso, não esquecer também o destaque da revista ao projecto EverydayCovid, do qual faço parte.Um enorme obrigado à equipa do Exodus
Things you do when you wake up way sooner than expected…

Esta semana o Gonçalo Borges Dias (um dos co-fundadores) e o José Sena Goulão (autor de algumas das fotos mais icónicas) foram até à RDP falar sobre o everydaycovid: desde o início do projecto até ao livro que está já na forja.https://www.rtp.pt/play/p6403/e498182/isto-faz-se-por-ca
The seasons of the year aren’t defined by a day someone has marked in a calendar but by the cycles of nature, and that’s something that a pandemic won’t change. In this atypical year my summer was spent on and off my retreat in Central Portugal, a season that starts when I’m able to pick cherries from the trees (that were fully ripe in late May when I left Lisbon after two months of confinement) and ends when the last grapes are picked from the vineyards. Which was this weekend… #portugal #beirabaixa #fujifilm_xseries #vindima
Não sou o autor desta foto. É do Gonçalo Borges Dias e é a primeira do EverydayCovid, o projecto que ele e o Miguel A. Lopes criaram no início do confinamento, onde dezenas de fotógrafos começaram a documentar este período único as várias vertentes da pandemia e do estado de emergência. Pouco depois de arrancar eu, o Rui Miguel Pedrosa, o Angelo Lucas, o Gonçalo Delgado, o André Dias Nobre e o Rui Soares juntámos-nos ao Miguel e ao Gonçalo para ajudar a neste enorme esforço.Durante os três meses do confinamento e estado de emergência milhares de fotos foram tiradas, com imensas horas de reunião para selecção e edição pelo meio, para no final ficar-se com cerca de 1200 fotos de 120 autores. Este enorme arquivo vai agora materializar-se num livro que juntar algumas dessas fotos, que está agora em pré-venda, sendo que os lucros deste livro irão reverter para apoio social.Para mais informações ou reservas basta ir a www.everydaycovid.pt. #everydaycovid
Going back to old habits: random weekend wanderings. Nothing to write home about, but it was more about going out than bringing prize winning shots.
Desde Março que o EverydayCovid (https://www.instagram.com/everydaycovid/) tem existido virtualmente para documentar o estado de emergência durante a pandemia, desde que o Miguel A. Lopes e o Gonçalo Borges Dias tiveram esta ideia e eu, o Rui Miguel Pedrosa, o Rui Soares, o Gonçalo Delgado, o Ângelo Lucas e o André Dias Nobre nos juntámos para levar o projecto
a bom porto, com muitas e longas reuniões via Zoom entretanto.Ontem pela primeira vez passou a existir fisicamente, impresso e pendurado nas paredes, incluído na iniciativa “Diário de uma pandemia” do CC11 - Centro Cultural 11(https://www.instagram.com/cc11_associacao/), com cerca de 80 fotos impressas, para além de uma projeção de todas as submissões do projecto.A partir de hoje, e até final de Outubro, está aberto ao público e convido todos a passar por lá!Rua do Centro Cultural 111700-106 Lisboa De 8 de Setembro e 31 de Outubro, de terça a sábado entre as 15:30 e as 19:30.
…E vão estando atentos porque estão na calha outras iniciativas para trazer o projecto do universo online.
Kind of a summer update, one that’s strange to me as it is for everyone. With summer came the loosening of the pandemic restrictions here in Portugal, which turned us from home bound to home based. Despite being able to travel (and not being afraid of the pandemic) some thoughts crossed my mind: the mess and ever-changing requirements and overhead on international travel, the fact that this summer everyone will travel locally and all that comes with it. So, for this summer and at least during the “school vacations”, I decided early on that I’d stay low, make use on having a place outside Lisbon I can move away from being most of times at an apartment in the city, and working in the countryside, combining remote work with the everyday routines of a small village. And you can follow some of that in a Instagram Stories Highlight I created just for that:https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE4MTU3NjU5NTE3MDIzODUy?igshid=dfvv30ewpc6g&story_media_id=2309019610430446715_31235690
One of the funny things of the pandemic, and all that came along with it, is that my walks often end up passing by the airport. The fact that I live side by side with it does help, but never happened before that…
As the “new normal” settles, some bits of the “old normal” start to make it’s way back. Things like planning something out of the blue with some of fellow Fuji shooters. That’s why instead sleeping late, last Saturday morning was spent wandering the streets of the eastern part of Lisbon.#street #lisbon #portugal
Despite having my movements less restricted than in the beginning of the pandemic, the truth is the routine hasn’t changed that much. The difference is now I’m able see an horizon that’s a bit further away from what’s in front of my window…
My Instagram has been frozen since the start of this pandemic, the latest photos posted here were from the very last photowalk in March, just a few days before all of us had to become home-based. This hiatus has not been planned at all, just the side-effect of a quarantine busier than expected, combined with not being in the mood to pick photos to upload. Despite all that, in these weeks photos had been taken, projects had been going, and this Instagram account actually has remained active but only on the Stories.
Now that all this is moving on to a different thing (not really sure what) is time to bring this feed back to life, and actually the way to do that is not with stuff from other travels but with the work from the last month or so, with myself and everyone else slowly returning to the world outside our homes. www.instagram.com/t3mujin/A… 🇵🇹 June 2020 #covid19 #deconfinement #portugal #alcochete #street
