Fieldnotes

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
