butterfly


Time for another lovely friend. One of these butterflies ♪ is Inês Pulido and she loves to paint! And to fly. Inês paints since… errr… I think she always painted :) and I love her work! It completely matches with her spirit: “always wearing a smile”! And the colors of her paintings can make me smile too - I just love everything and everyone who makes me smile =) life become so easier…
This photo was taken today, at her exhibition on Feira do Livro, in Braga and this is just one of more than 400 canvas she already painted! We’ve taken a lot of funny pictures today, but I’m sharing this one because it perfectly fits here (sorry for taking the colors away, but for the photo it was a must). Taken by me and post-processed by her cousin Mariana, who loves to draw but also coloring photos with her special touch. And she also loves to smile =)

p.s: don’t forget to listen to the music above, by my favorite musician ever! ;)

and the winner is…


…João Araújo! The prize of the best musician of the year goes to him. My choice =) Since I’ve met him I knew we shared the same passion about music.. playing and listening. But he never said me he also used to compose! I’ve found his (hidden) facet this week and I liked =) take a look at João’s MySpace. Do you believe that he does all of this wonderful music alone, only with his MacBook and GarageBand? Even the microphone is the internal from the laptop. I think this gives a special touch to his music. So, João: you should keep doing it, just like this :)
My favorite song is “Antes fazer?”. I’m just curious to know if those who don’t understand portuguese also likes it :)

My conlcusion: this world is amazing! We have an entire orchestra, infinite canvas and ink, a full photographic laboratory and a full cinema studio inside our houses. This is available to everyone. So, no one have an excuse not to create art xD

pulido

He’s João Pulido, a friend I admire very very much. Working with him is always funny and productive at the same time. He’s so full of ideas! Fortunately, he can put them in practice most of the time :) I really needed to have a photo of him on my blog. We share the same passion about photography and manually developing the films!
About the photo it was a pity cutting his cane, on the left.

fora d’horas


These are my good friends Camilo Silva, José Miguel Braga and Ruben. For the last 8 years I’ve been working (and having a lot of fun) with them (and a lot more of good friends) at Produções Ilimitadas Fora D’Horas making theatre. This year was the first one that I’m watching the PIF’H shows from the outside because I needed to dedicate some time to me and to my master thesis. It is nice too because I see the shows from a different perspective, but I’m becoming nostalgic and feeling that something is missing on my life… I need to get back really really soon! They’re a part of my life =)

The reason for the reflections is not a double exposure. The photo was just taken is just through a glass.

fellings


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.

anyone can play guitar ii

“And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I’ll be standing on a beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band, when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
And they won’t be a nothing anymore”

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.

nowhere man


“He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody
[...]
He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?”

No manipulation made. Just optics :) Ideia by him, my brother Henrique. Good one!

2am: version of me


“While preparing myself to win at Singstar…”
I’ve decided to make a small set of night photos called “zero am”. The photos will be squared and the colors distorted and excessively warmed.
