Today I revisited my Morocco shots, realized there was lots of hidden gems hidding.

Smells like summer!

Summer is almost here, and along with the heat comes tons of daylight, which means, for office worker like myself, plenty of time in work days to go out and find great company to go after the golden hour, and use it until there’s no light left, something I did a couple of days last week.

Al-Hamma

Alfama (from arabic Al-hamma), the medieval, with its Moorish and Islamic origins, quarter of Lisbon which happens to be heart of city, a small village that dwells within the big city limits, where the time has a different meaning, it hasn’t stopped but refused to go faster, and “modern” is a fancy, outsider word. My favorite place to be a traveler within my own city and wander in the maze of narrow streets, something very few of my fellow citizens do in non-festive occasions, the time of the year where most of the old quarters become a massive popular party ground but, on the other hand, loose their slower pace.

Reynisdrangar

All this talk about the ash cloud blocking, literally, half Europe led me to a severe case of Icelandic wanderlust that made me browse the photos taken during my trip two years ago, this obviously ended up in uploading some of them to my Flickr photostream. Among those new photos there’s an old one I decided to revisit: a shot of the Reynisdrangar rock formations taken in a beach nearby Vík, the original version is in color but I though it would work really well in B&W, and it fits the occasion as Vík is right below the ash cloud’s path to Europe, a cloud that probably has darkened the only non-black item in this beach: the sky.

First 2010 photos

Had to way for the last days of the month to finally go out and shoot some photos…

Wandering in Indochina

João Almeida — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:41:09 +0000

I’ve returned from Southeast Asia two months ago, but I just realized haven’t published any its photos (not including a handful of snapshots shared in my Facebook account). Actually I haven’t published any photos at all so its about time to start having a more regular upload schedule, and what better reason to do so than starting to work on my Indochina photos? Even if in small doses…

Wind Farm

This weekend I was away at my “country home” and decided to drive to the wind farms nearby and shoot them by the sunset.
I’ve been particularly lazy with photography lately, not lazy for taking photos but filtering, processing and uploading them. But somehow I felt I had to upload some of these, not that they’re extraordinary, but just to keep things moving and feel that I haven’t lost my “mojo”.

PS- I have literally hundreds of Southeast Asia photos to process, expect them one of these days…

Bairro Alto by day

Last Sunday I went on a photowalk with my friend Bruno, probably fueled by his latest street photography project we ended up in one of my favourite places to shoot: Bairro Alto

Narrow minded

João Almeida — Mon, 25 May 2009 14:51:14 +0000

Lately my eyes, and my brain, have been seeing too much in wide-angle mode, with the expected result of boring, cliche and repetitive photos. It’s time to change and force myself to narrow my perspective to see things differently.
