A month that as passed without taking that many photos, but in a week I’m going to head to the north of Portugal and a brand new camera was waiting on my cabinet without me having properly tested it, so I had to go out just to take some shots, regardless of the crappy day outside. #street #lisbon #portugal
Small joy of the day: that Rodenstock circular polarizer you thought you’d lost while taking those last elk shots before the very last rays of light went away a couple of months ago has been in a really, really hidden spot in your camera bag!
In the last few years I’ve been going again and again to the North of Portugal, so much that sometimes part of me is starting to feel I came from there. One of my main subjects has been the masked and other winter festivities, amazing pagan traditions that precede Christianity. And now I’m really happy, because what’s probably the most popular of those festivities has been included in UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage list: the Caretos de Podence!!!#portugal #trasosmontes #caretos #podence
Roughly year ago I was getting ready for my talk at National Geographic Exodus Aveiro Fest, one of my coolest experiences ever. This year I’m going back to be a “regular” attendee but I’m as stoked as always for an amazing and inspiring weekend!#ngeaf #ngexodusaveirofest #ngexodusaveirofest2019 www.instagram.com/p/Bq7WLFF… View this post on Instagram A post shared by João Pedro Almeida (@t3mujin) on Dec 3, 2018 at 5:43am PST
I’m really stoked about the National Geographic Exodus Aveiro Fest that is about to start, and where I’ll be heading to in a couple of hours, and most of the updates on Tireless Eye (the repository of the images that catch my eye) will be highly inspired by it #ngexodusaveirofest
The last month has been a bit on the slower side, with not that many photos taken as work (including photographic chores) has got in the way. So it was nice to finally go out with the usual suspects, my local crew of Fuji and other mirrorless shooters, and wander in Alfama, with its streets ever more crowded and the river that’s harder and harder to see from the streets. #street #lisbon #portugal #t3mujinpack
I’m not the most organized photographer, but in the last photo trips (and doesn’t need to be long ones) there are two habits I’ve been religiously maintaining:As soon as I return import the photos and run all my backup jobs, so that they’re safely stored,And don’t delete immediately the photos from my SD cards and travel backup storage (I usually keep two copies of the photos while on the road), not out lazyness but to have yet another backup in case the imports and culling go wrong, sometimes it remains there for weeks or even months. Today the later came to my rescue: somehow I deleted two days of Iceland photos, and that error already had propagated to my main backups. What could have been a disaster was just an annoyance of having to import those days again from the “original” storage devices, and eventually I’ll have to go through all those photos again.Moral of the story: backups do save your ass, and the more you have the merrier!
I was challenged to explain my Top 3 photos of 2019. You can check out the result on my Instagram Stories! www.instagram.com/t3mujin/

Having the first Monday after daylight savings changes (meaning suddenly night falls one hour earlier) in a day where clouds and rain covered the horizon is a brutal reminder that one season has ended, and another is starting.#beirabaixa #portugal
As I was heading to the Denver airport, about to start my journey back to Lisbon, the driver that was taking there (a Puerto Rican that loved Portuguese food since his days in New Jersey) asked if I was missing home. I did think for a moment before replying, in the end the truth is that I rarely miss home, but I always enjoying returning.
