⚽ Mesmo em fora de jogo, incrivel como a defesa do Benfica ficou ver jogar no golo… O melhor é mudar de canal.
Only at lunch, and after three meetings, I realized I was wearing my t-shirt inside out. How’s your Monday going?…
Sunday mornings…
Há finais de tarde piores…
Office day, and making the best of the last days of summer to lunch outside. Because in early October I’ll be traveling and likely to only return in cold weather.
Back to Amplifest
Back to Porto for Amplifest. Like last year, I ended up taking the camera with me. Like last year, I ended up turning it mostly to everyone around, not the bands. I’m really not a concert photographer, I’m more into paying attention to the small things that are happening around me, and that’s why the moments I took the camera from my bag were the dead moments between shows. The breaks to have a beer, to hangout outside by the sun, to chill and enjoy the day. Just like I was doing.
Fact: train trips are great to get work organized, get all those pending topics sorted out. Must do this more often.
Sunday mornings…
Como diz a minha amiga Fátima, não me importava de ver Amenra uma vez por ano, assim para lavar a alma! Só isto já teria feito valer a pena ter vindo ao Amplifest no Porto.
Starting to feel like winter sun… Good morning Porto!
Priceless developer moments: when you run the code for the first time after writing some recursive logic, it takes a bit longer to execute and you think “yeaaaah… it’s on an infinite loop, isn’t it?”. Kids, no matter how senior you are, always include thresholds or exit conditions in your recursive stuff…
Mandatory photo of raindrops on the window on rainy, it’s not me who makes the rules 🤷🏻
If only this could be the work week…
Funny little kiosks that appear out of nowhere
Sometimes there’s really very little energy for social interactions, and the more people the worse it gets. It’s a matter of taking a deep breath and moving on.
A tip for the speakers out there that are going to give a talk with someone else: don’t switch roles with your co-speaker on every slide, it really breaks the flow for the audience…
How does someone loose an outlet?…
Funny to post a photo on insta late night (I’m not really caring with best times to post nowadays) and checking which of your friends are still up. Time to get some sleep.
Discussing productivity is the ultimate procrastination!
I won’t even suggest saying I’m the most responsible traveler and photographer, because I’m certainly not. But the ethics of travel and photography is something that has been in mind my for quite some time: how we behave, how we react, how we portray, etc… And this thing we’re seeing with people using the Morocco earthquake to turn the spotlight for themselves really triggers me. I guess it’s the self-centered social media culture we’re living…
