Every end of summer the herds passed through the streets of Alpedrinha, moving from summer to winter pastures. Nowadays that’s remembered and celebrated in the closed streets of the small village. #transhumance #chocalhos #alpedrinha #beirabaixa #Portugal

Later this month I’ll be walking 150km of the Camino de Santiago, this Portuguese Way to be more accurate. That meant that in the last few weeks I’ve done some walking to get myself fit for it, a lot of walking actually. Despite carrying some geary on those, after all I need to practice with a full back pack, photos haven’t been a priority in those walks. That doesn’t mean I won’t stop if I find interesting stuff along the way!
A long time I showed Luís how mirrorless cameras are great for mounting vintage lenses, now he’s one of the biggest addicts of mounting strange glass that I know, and just put his experience into a lengthy post! Vintage lenses: perfect imperfection
I could apply this as is to other genres, like travel photography where exotic locals sometimes are seen not more than photographic subjects… How Photography Exploits the Vulnerable - NY Times
Counting the days until December, can’t wait to take part on this!! Meet you all at Aveiro?(via vimeo.com/264331036)

Revisiting some of the spots of my After The Fall essay, that I shot last autumn and winter. Can’t stop thinking that the wrong kind of green is blooming. #beirabaixa #portugal
It was time to sit down for some rest, and have a well deserved beer last June in the “Magic Mountains”, when @esiracusaphotos played a bit with one of my camera
A part of Portugal is in a kind of collective depression right now, for the very mild Summer we’ve had so far. But hotter days are around the corner, and everyone is getting ready for them.
More shots from last Sunday’s short return to the south banks of the Tagus river. All photos on my Flickr stream www.flickr.com/photos/t3…
Back to the banks of the Tagus, my private inner sea and ongoing subject of mine for a long time. It’s a region I enjoy a lot to photograph, one that someday I might put into a proper project, and the reason why I like it is because its many contrasts in a small area: nature vs city, rural vs urban. And a river that slowly flows in the middle.
Enough of forest, ash and destruction. A throwback to a colorful building (abandoned, nevertheless…) at Porto a couple of weeks ago. #street #streetart #graffiti #porto #oporto
Roughly one month ago I went to Alfama, after all June is the party month of Lisbon and I wanted to check all the preparations taking place. I had in mind getting back there sometime during the rest of the month, even if just to have a few beers, but it passed in a blink of an eye and I’ll have to wait for next year…www.flickr.com/photos/t3… #alfama #lisbon #portugal
Concert photography never was something I dedicated my energy, despite loving both music and photography, no need to detail why, I guess that’s how’s it has been. But sometimes you’re experiencing something so awesome that you don’t have another option than capture it. That’s what happened this week during LCD Soundsystem’s last of three Lisbon shows, and that’s when a smartphone is your best friend.
Those moments when you put your camera aside and just sit down. Taken last week by my mate @esiracusaphotos during our road trip through the Freita and Arada mountains in Central Portugal.
Back home, and to this light.

After a long day feeding in the pastures it’s time to return from the nearby hills. #portugal #serradaarada
