Photog stuff
Photography, travels and the rants that comes with them.
A Madalena Boto mais uma vez a fazer a fazer magia, agora a documentar vida selvagem em plena Lisboa.
…passa na RTP em breve!
Elevator selfie, just because…
Regarding Foto, and other social networks.
Foto is cool and clean, all that we wanted Instagram to be, but the issue is, in many ways, is just like all the others: it’s privately owned, centralized, closed, probably will be monetized at some point, and, as much as its founders are well intended, its roadmap will be decided by a handful of people. At some point, by the shareholders. Musk is right at one thing: these services are becoming the global, digital public square. And that’s why they need to evolve into something that’s open, decentralized and based on standards. And Foto doesn’t seem to be any of that.
Funny how photos allow you consolidate your memories. Not just the actual thing you photographed, that’s a no brainer, but everything around it: what you were doing, what you were eating, what you were listening, who you were with. As if the act of clicking also snapshots the brain.
All wrapped up for today… Work, football, even politics. Time to go back to the photos.
The photographer that took the photo that might have won the election for Trump, or at least helped a lot, is no longer able to cover Trump. Let that sink in…
What a good flashback of Nepal from my mate João Lage! I clearly remember some of these coffee breaks.
That good feeling of planning a new trip, but still far away that you don’t get anxious with last minute details.
Apesar de estar a falar em causa própria, não tivesse ela uma cadeia de lojas na Baixa, acerta na mouche aqui: são tantas as lojas, cafés, restaurantes ou bares que dão lugar a uma janela com um sofá vazio, e que deixam a rua com menos vida.
Este ano estava a pensar se iria ou não fotografar no Entrudo, mas o João Maia (cúmplice destas coisas) lançou o isco e eu acabei por morder. Como sempre, valeu a pena a viagem . Regressar a festas que já se conhecia, conhecer novas, reencontrar amigos e terminar num lugar onde já meio que me sinto em casa: Vila Boa!
De volta ao Entroido!

Playing around with this new Foto app, just to check what’s about, and also to claim my username. Still playing around, and since I haven’t been that active in socials I have no idea when I’ll post something, but here goes:
The David Lynch vibes of Puerto Natales…
Sorry about the lack of updates, that was by design. But Patagonia is as beautiful as I dreamed it would be. The updates will follow shortly…
Time to hit the trek… #patagonia
A photographer has to be fed eventually!
In stormy Sundays you can always go back to the stuff you have from sunny days, like just a week ago.
Shopping before the rainy Sunday hits us.
“(…) perhaps a country that actually wants oursiders.”
More than the actual effectiveness Spain’s decision, which is a valid conversation, the condescending, almost white-saviour tone of this is amazing. As if we should welcome the money brought by the foreign rich man…
