Eu percebo que quem está num call center a fazer telemarketing está a fazer o seu papel, que é ingrato, mas acho sempre engraçado o quanto eu tenho de justificar porque não quero o que me estão a vender.

The very early years of English football are filled with cool stories like this!

“Why did Everton move from Anfield to Goodison Park?"

How not to love signs in unexpected places?

Looking back, waaayyy back, into your archive is an interesting exercise: you notice so many subtle subjects that were already grabbing your attention back then, but also you now tend to prefer the unprocessed photos.

For many reasons (TLDR: lack of time…) I haven’t properly listened GY!BE’s new album. Only today I found time to hit play, a day where it’s dark and rain outside. This can’t be a coincidence.

“PALE SPECTATOR TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS - YouTube”

Today I had to update my account password and, as expected, was logged of most apps. It’s amazing how in Windows I only had issues logging back with Microsoft Accounts in Microsoft apps… Nothing that reconfigure all from scratch doesn’t fix.

A Microsoft error message reads "Something went wrong. [1200]" with a blue "Close" button.

Estava a apanhar tomates e ouvi um estrondo!

CMtv nunca desilude 😂

Going out to the streets to shoot means that you tend to go to the same spots, which is also nice, but sometimes you want to avoid those. That’s why me and my mates went for something different last Saturday… In the flattest and dullest light possible…

This explanation of Instagram on why I’m seeing a post is a perfect example that, with algorithms, the end-user isn’t that important…

An 1 hour long video only with two guys talking about photo sequencing?… Hell yeah!

Explique-nos lá isso então do «fascismo nunca mais».

There goes the weekend…

A beachfront setting at dusk features people dining under string lights and a woven canopy, with a view of the water and a pastel sky.A dog is lying on a stone pavement next to a helmet and a bottled drink, while people sit nearby.A group of people sit and stand near a tall sculpture by a calm body of water at sunset.A woman sits at an outdoor café table, while other people are gathered and conversing nearby.A group of people, accompanied by a dog, walks along a narrow pier that extends into a calm body of water, with warning signs in Portuguese and English visible nearby.

You’re reminded that you don’t own your data in a Google account every time you try to take it out. Like with Maps. Despite the excellent Google Takeout, the list of locations you saved over the years is exported in a format that consists in name and link to Maps. Which is almost useless…

The masks were back in Lisbon!

For some time it was kind of a tradition to have masked group coming from all parts of the world for FIMI (Festival Internacional da Máscara Ibérica), with the big moment being the parade that happened downtown. It has been on hold for some years, until last weekend.

It’s far from being the same as seeing the authentic thing, but having all these together in the same location, and honestly a bit out of place, makes always interesting photos. And you are able to see familiar faces in your hometown!

After a Saturday with a lot of things happening nothing like a slow Sunday, watching F1, being lazy, taking care of Saturday’s photos.

O telemóvel fotografou pouco hoje, e daí pouca coisa para aqui, mas estas lindas máscaras de Lóbios mereceram a excepção. #desfilemascaraiberica

Hoje é dia de Desfile da Máscara Ibérica na baixa de Lisboa, após interregno de alguns anos. Dia de rever caras conhecidas e tirar fotos das tradições de máscaras num contexto diferente, curioso como durante algum tempo achei que isto não era “autêntico”. Vemo-nos por lá?

Weekend at last, will I finally start reading this?

Holding book "Forty photographers, on process and practice"

It’s not a “real” album, but has been a shitty week and I’ll take that gladly!

Ulver has just released an album
