Photog stuff
Travel to a far away place is cool and all that, but these photos won’t cull themselves…
Returning home also means going back to one of my favorite walkaround setups, and one that I rarely travel with: X-E3 + 27mm
Returning home also means returning to #commute photos
I’m becoming a grumpy old person, and still kind of getting back to the everyday routine after returning from Nepal, so take this with a huge pinch of salt. But I’m getting so tired of most of the travel content being created nowadays, we somehow lost the joy of curiosity and discovery.
When did the travel stuff switched from the displaying the best of a place to “hey, look what I am doing now!”?
Why do most of the travel content creators now put themselves between the reader and the place they’re at?
Why do so many of them kind of play around with the readers lack of knowledge of that place to not be entirely honest about it, so it conveys the narrative they’re building?
I think I know the answers to all these questions, I guess this evolution to a more lifestyle driven way to do things never really caught on me. But again, I’m just a grumpy old guy…
This is a scaffold of the ongoing repairs from the damages of 2015 earthquake… Arriving home from Nepal, with the news that another one has struck, is both heartbreaking and a brutal reminder of how that beautiful country is vulnerable to nature…
A kinda long stopover in Dubai starts now…
Amazing the “addition” of nepalis for videocalls, now I understand why they have really big data plans!
Don’t like to give gear lessons to anyone, each is free to choose what works for them, but having a large photographer group in the narrow cities of Bhaktapur, each with bulky, full frame, vertical grip DLSRs along huge telephoto lenses and big backpacks might be a bit too much.
Time to say goodbye to this view and move closer to Kathmandu!
Não querendo generalizar, mas se há turista que literalmente se borrifa no resto são grupos de franceses, seja para locais ou outros turistas. Parece que estão numa pequena bolha francesa…
The bliss of the first good hot shower in a week, one with a really good flow of warm water running on your back, is something you can’t really explain. Specially when you weren’t counting on it for today… 😊😊
…plenty of time for coffee…
✈️ Dubai Airport
….aaaand here we go!!
I always hated the days before travel, and I think I always will…
I’ve had worse Sundays…
Morning walk
Getting into that final week, pre-trip anxiety of “eager to get there!” and “why do I get into these things?”. I used to get confused how can someone feel so different and opposed things exactly at the same time, until I went to India I realized that’s the norm while being there.
Sunday mornings…
Earlier from today, the posters from the Preview of Lisbon’s Photo Book Fair all over the surroundings.
Still about yesterday…
