The day after that big project, I’ve decided to disconnect from the world for 24 hours (read: no computer and not Internet). So, me and Henrique took the day to walk and take photos. In the end, we went to Velha-a-Branca to take a rest… but not from the photos! This one was on Tiago’s Feelings exhibition. I really recommend you to take a look there.

vanishing library
This photo was taken at the basement of the Universidade do Minho’s library. I love the film colors and books :) I’m just sad about not having a person on the photo. It’s a must.

braga on 35mm
Finally the film is developed!
After 10 years of digital photos… this is like a sigh. It is my “first” analog photo, my first film paid in euros (the last one was in escudos :p) my first with the Canon AE-1 and my first fully-analog-experience photo. It is definitely a new world xD
facity: behind the scenes
I love the Facity project. It is so nice to register the faces of our city! After taking my photo, I’m always inviting my friends to do the same. Today it was the day of my brother Henrique, and three nice friends: Paulo Xavier, Virgínia and Lara. And I wanted to be present on this moment, too =)
Paulo’s and Virgínia’s photos wasn’t too difficult to photograph. Just a little tantrum. But with Lara… it was really really hard to convince her to take her photo. After 20 minutes of tears, requirements, threats and intimidations, Lara proposed a deal: she will let his father (and not, Tiago!) to take his photo in exchange for candies. After this moment, the tears reduced a lot… but she wasn’t too convinced to accept.
After more 10 minutes of negotiations, Lara started to sympathize with Tiago and everything became easier. Finally, it was possible to take her photo! In the end, we went to a café to eat the candies. She deserved them! =)
At night, Lara saw this photos and start laughing and theatricalize the morning moments! ahah
The photos are a a little blur because I need to be really fast to take the photo and hide the camera. Otherwise, Lara will notice my camera and start crying again :p Oh, and on this last photo I loved the expression of Lara staring at Tiago as she was asking “so, do you like it?”.

maus hábitos
He’s was trying to hide himself from the camera because the 3 bad habits… but I’ll snitch him! He’s João Luís and he is one of my best friends. A friendship for life! The photo was taken tonight at Velha-a-Branca.
selenium
ideia & photo by Mário. The ideia of the selenium filter is mine (without his permission… but I hope he like it). The photo is really strange, but I want to keep it here. By the way! Nice opportunity to create a new set called weird.

antique store
This is an antique store located in one of the most beautiful streets we have in Braga (I love our historical center! I want to live there!). While walking on this street, you haven’t even seen the store and you already feel the nice smell of old wood and wood wax. I don’t like the photo (stupid extinguisher and stupid hand-shaking!), but I couldn’t resist to take it. Next time, I’ll be back with a wide-angle lens and will take a decent photo, also with the antiquarian.
view
I pass in this room many many times and I always wanted a photo of it. I was just waiting for an exhibition that combines with the room, for the photo I imagined. This time (with Mario and Afonso patiently waiting downstairs for me :p) I said “I want this one!”. However, I’d like to take a little more floor instead of the top of the wall! :s but I’m still publishing because I like it.

old lady-the white one
Music is definitely my greatest passion. But now I have another one: photography. I got so used to carry my Canon with me to everywhere I go, that I feel some kind of strange when I left it at home. And a day without a photo isn’t a good day. I’m always aware for a nice moment to photograph. I love to register all those nice moments like everyone laughing at a joke while having a drink on cafe, or a birthday party with my friends. However, sometimes I like to register my own point of view of something. This was one of that moments, where I was at Velha-a-Branca having a drink with my friends and I was delighted with this scenario: the old door painted red, the awry stairs and the rain outside. So, time to pick up the camera!
Oh.. the title. It is a joke about “Velha-a-Branca”.

3 olhares de arquitectura
This is part of an exhibition of Miguel Louro, a friend of mine that really love photography! It is so nice to ear him talking about his photos and his machines. And I really love his photos! About his architectural photos, I like the way he contrasts the old and the new, the city people and the buildings, and the perspective of the skyscrapers! I’ve chose this one because the strangeness of the building and the rock wall.
His photos were in exhibition on December 2009 at the café "A Brasileira", Braga.
This photo is from the Fred and Ginger building (aka The Dancing Building) at Prague.
