Photog stuff
Photography, travels and the rants that comes with them.
Sunny Saturdays
Dusky skies near the airport.
🇵🇹 match day commute
I guess summer nights are here.
Summer in a plate, in a summer day that’s anything but that…
A moment to remember.
Darktable, the open source photo developer I use (and built film emulation presets), has two releases per year. You can almost adjust your calendar on it, because it’s around each solstice. And because we just hit Summer solstice there’s a new release out there.
Commute naps…
A terminar de ver o último episódio d' “A Conspiração”, que documento histórico do caraças!!
Ordered some small random stuff from Amazon, “needed” to add something to fill the package
How often you miss your exit station because you were taking a photo? Just happened to me, again…
Kickstarting June in Lisbon
Summer is upon us.
A good friday is when something planned to arrive late next week knocks on your door!
I love receiving packages earlier than expected, but when they say the expected delivery date is a week from now I’m not expecting to receive a text message saying it will be delivered today. At some point throughout the day…
Ride back home…
More and more I hate flying! Not that I’m afraid of flying, actually the time in the airplane is the eye of the storm of this thing called “air travel after the pandemic” (not that before was great), which starts the time you try to book the flights. Yes, prices are sky high; yes, now every kind of luggage is paid separately; yes, the price of that is also sky high… But every time you trick to book something you seem to find a new trick up their sleeve, the most recent for me is some companies somehow finding a way to charge more for cabin luggage than checked luggage. Yup, you read it right, more expensive to bring the luggage with you in the cabin…
Just realized the web version of Instagram Threads now does columns. I like that a lot, mostly because I tend to follow photographers there. If we can’t have a wide layout, to see photos in all its glory, at least have multiple column to see more of those.
Todas as vezes que vejo imagens do Abascal e o Ventura juntos, um está completamente star-struck e o outro com o ar “se o mundo fosse justo vocês tinham tido o mesmo destino da Catalunha”. Todas as vezes…
Still in the aftermath of Gustavo Minas workshop last weekend, one thing I really enjoy watching the outcome of when several photographers share the same limited space. It was already Sunday’s late afternoon and we were gathering for a beer before, everything was over, literally just chilling out before heading home. But all of us, as the light went down, eventually started taking some shots while chatting with the beer in the hand. Including me.
And throughout the week, as people started sharing these late shots with everyone else, it felt nice to check all those different views of several photographers, at the same spot, at the same time.
