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…
Doing a full work week after so long out of office sure feels damn long! Oh well… Tomorrow’s Friday.
#twittlis day!!!
“Wake me up inside
When the light strikes again
There’s another way to find
On my own, I’ll meet you there
I’ll strike you every time”

The joy of returning to work… Lets get this week started!!!
You’ve been away for a while and you don’t remember it’s F1 day.
It’s late afternoon, but the race is in Brazil, so we’re ok.
Leclerc seems to be in pole! 😁
Leclerc retires in formation lap… 😤
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…
It kinda feels right to close the trip at Bodhanauth…
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!
Pashupatinath, where cheering and mourning happen side by side…
Finally time to give Bhaktapur its well deserved slow place, because good things don’t like rushing out.
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!
🗺 📸 Panauti, a quiet, slow paced, no frenzy Nepali historic town for a change.
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…
🗺 📸 Hike in the Kathmandu Valley countryside, to reach Namo Buddha, one of Nepal’s holy Buddhist places. Made me realize I still have things to do at Bodhanauth, let’s see if I can squeeze that when I returned to Kathmandu.
🗺 📸 Any city looks better by dawn, but Patan is really a place best seen under the first rays of light. Not only because the lack of tourists that haven’t arrived yet from the day tours from Kathmandu, but mostly from its slow awakening, with the daily routines coming to life, specially the visit to the temples at the beginning of the day.
