Still from last weekend, there wasn’t much time for proper street photography, but one that carries a camera always ends up shooting some snaps.

A narrow street lined with colorful buildings leads to a distant Clérigos Tower, with two people in rain ponchos walking down the street.A person walks along a street lined with a tall, pink fence in front of a building.A person carrying a large rainbow-colored bag walks in front of closed storefronts, with graffiti on a nearby utility box.Two people are sitting at an outdoor table near a shop with clothes displayed at the entrance, while a person stands in the shop doorway.A café terrace with empty white tables and chairs is set against a backdrop of colorful, historic buildings, featuring a prominent Heineken sign.People are walking in silhouette under an arch with a bird flying overhead against a cloudy sky.A narrow alley features a scooter parked on cobblestone pavement, with colorful graffiti, including a yellow face, on the walls.A person sits in a train near a window, gazing at a misty landscape with a bridge in the distance.

Adoro aqueles directos para noticiários só porque sim. Hoje ao almoço o repórter da RTP enumerou quase todos os jogos entre Portugal e a Polónia, com datas e marcadores. E se há coisa pertinente num directo é onde foi jogada a qualificação do Mundial de 78.

Once again at Amplifest, and like the last ones, had a camera with me. Once again, no photos of bands performing or crowds enjoying the music, but that vibe in between shows, with everyone chilling and moving between the two rooms. Just like myself.

I know that you’ll find me, there. After the fall…

Echoes in my head of yesterday’s show of Chelsea Wolfe, already back home…

Coisas que se ouvem num daqueles cafés sombrios, que são cada vez mais raros na Baixa do Porto, logo pela manhã:

  • “Então ainda não foi atendido?!", a senhora reformada a achar que se tinham esquecido de mim.
  • “5 pães e um favaios”.

Having some fun with other people’s commutes. The dark that comes with shorter days creates the perfect mood for lingering a bit longer in train stations.

Being someone who creates stuff means always jumping back and forth between wanting shout your ideas and thinking you don’t have anything relevant to say. Today feels more like the second, I guess.
