Photog stuff
Photography, travels and the rants that comes with them.
- Plenty of videos in the stories walking in the streets with an action camera, saying “I’m in this really cool spot!”
- Visited country counter in the profile
- Linktree with all the affiliate links
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…
“Spain Has Lost Its Mind. A 100% Real Estate Tax is Your Sign to Move Elsewhere“
Still from last week’s march against racism here in Lisbon, something that, according to our prime-minister, is very radical to do…Let’s be radical then.
Pretty sunsets to close the day.

I’m growing more and more disconnected of many travel people sharing stuff in the webs, specially Instagram. Trying to avoid generalizations, that I truly hate to do, but there’s a specific pattern that I seem to have a part of my brain dedicated to it:
Rant mode off…
So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄
Moon today comes with a black myst filter included.

Regardless not planning to shoot large format on film, I tend to watch LOTS of it, it’s some of the best photography related content on YouTube.
It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.
While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!
