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"
The photo was taken at a fundraising concert “Juntos na Ajuda ao Haiti” (all together helping Haiti) organized by the musical school Companhia da Música, in the museum D. Diogo de Sousa, Braga. The money was sent today for Haiti =) The greatest thing on globalization are this kind of reactions. The whole world instantly united by a cause, helping people we don’t know, people who don’t know us, but who need us. Beautiful initiative.
Unfortunately, the photo got a lot of noise. I had to be very fast to take this photo and the camera pre-configured to ISO 1600. But I love the silhouette.

I really enjoyed the wordplay about “viva a branca” :p Allied with poetry and theatre (and also the perspective), in this composition I imagine two worlds: a sober world and a world of bohemia.

Time for my masters. Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was a French photographer, widely known by his works as a photo-journalist. What I really appreciate on his photos are its precise and unique moment joined with his exceptional point of view and composition. I’ve selected my three favorites, each one by its different style. I’m starting a new set called masters.

Tonight Mario was inspired to take photos with my camera. Miriam was saying “oh, no… please. no more photos!” but Mário, as a nice guy, still took it! xD The result was this crazy and out of focus photo. But I like it. My comment was “look! Mário is skinny!” :p

“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.

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.

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.

“Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way”

Today I woke up, opened my window and saw this… “ok, maybe the lift is damaged and the stairs blocked”, I thought.
(the title is inspired on one of the topics of the last Fast Forward Portugal)

Ahah. I loved this chart! I’m wondering what’s my phase now… Maybe “dammit, I suck”, I think. But I jumped over the HDR hole. xD
