In the last trip to the north of Portugal I ended up finding three or four football fields I love to shot. Now that I think about it, I have cool football fields from the last three or four trips north. I might be able to do a project solely with football fields from Trás-Os-Montes.

I’ll be posting some of the ongoing work from last week, as I go through and process it. Make sure to check it on my Instagram Stories, there’s stuff to see already!
At Vila Boa one of the tricks a careto (young or old) does is throwing flour to whoever crosses their way. This young girl was thinking I wanted to steal her it from her, when what I wanted was to take this shot. After she reluctantly raised her arm, and I got my shot, told her it was now ok to throw that flour on me.

When a seasoned photographer, with great knowledge of the area, warns you that a snowfall is expected between 7:00 and 9:00 all you must do is wake up early and wait for it. That’s what me, João (the cooperative model in the photos), and Nicole did.

Winter really isn’t the best season to go after nature and landscapes at Trás-Os-Montes. Unless you happen to get snowfall, or even beautiful mornings with misty woods covered with ice, you lack the stunning colors of Spring or Autumn. But the truth is that bleak side of the region pleases me a lot.

One of the things “caretos” do at Podence during Carnival is hit you with the pompon hanging from their hoods, I was about to be hit with one as I took this photo. #careto #entrudo #podence #portugal
Already home after a long weekend taking photos of more than one Entrudo (traditional carnival in Portugal) event. But in the end, carnival is whenever a man wants, so I’ll be posting a few more photos from these last days throughout this week.
Our small piece of big wild north!

Always look good for the camera! Starting the day at Góis, going after one of Portugal’s traditional carnivals. #entrudo #carnaval #carnival #gois #aldeiasdexisto #portugal #fujixt2 #vsco
This will be a long weekend that will only end Tuesday, going after the ancient carnival traditions of Central and Northern Portugal. But started very differently, with a photowalk in the narrow streets of Lisbon.
