Nikon F60 film + fujifilm 200 + dnp centuria 200 (expired 2009)
    Rain rain rain. these have been our days in Oporto. I love sitting on the couch with my blanket and my tea, reading or watching a good movie and outside, through the window that's always close to me, watching the rain falling and hitting the windows. sometimes I even put my fingers on the glass just to get a flash of what's happening out there at that precise moment.
    I've been painting my grandma. I no longer do, for a while, this kind of stuff in large sizes, so... I hope this will be okay.
    Long runs have occupied my mornings (I am lucky to have such a beautiful park like what is shown in the 3ª shot). I quite like it. all that accumulated energy of nervousness or even anxiety due to the rush of the city, makes me want to do it every day! and I'm super excited because I'll finally be able to start swimming every week at municipal pools near my house! and to end this headline, I’ll receive my gift early to make sure I'll see the talented Joss Stone in my town this year! what a beautiful early summer. I saw today a beautiful film called Ladies in Lavender that reminded me of the beautiful summer evenings! 
     Finally, after watching the single most interesting tv program on national TV, called Biosphere, I had an idea for a new photography project. color, light, agitation, respect, peacefulness, city/country, madness, degradation, art, and human freedom. these are some of the words that describe it. and the last photo is a small sample :-) hope you enjoy again this piece of my mind.

    1. you're always so amazing! thank you so much,
      again! :-)
      in Portugal has been rain rain rain all day long... sad. always good for nature, for watering all lands, but for me not quite the same feeling. today, I thought I was going to fly in the street! :-)

    1. O prazer é todo meu Inês. tens fotos com umas cores e uma luz brutal.
      muito obrigado! a primeira vez que a vi pensei "não sei se este resultado ficou muito bom...", pensei que estava um pouco confuso. mas depois até achei alguma piada ao plano de fundo :-)
      é sim, no Marquês. quase centro.

    1. Thank you Annie! how friendly and kind :-) the movie is really beautiful. I felt kind of chills as I saw the first scene. is extremely delicate. probably because the story is very "pure".
      Oh :-) nice again! I am anxious to start publishing the photos, which will have to be gradually, because I can not develop all the rolls at the same time.
      have a really nice weekend.

    1. well, thank you Katie. I'm really privileged to have a place like this near me. Will actually happen to me!
      when we think of "city" there are actually many things that escape to our eyes. is what I think :-) then, this idea. always so kind of you!

    1. Sim, moro :-) a sério? que coincidência! qual é mesmo a tua zona?
      Sabes eu também não era muito dado a correr e tudo mais... aliás, eu odiava. nem percebia bem o porquê de termos de o fazer... mas assim que comecei porque meti na cabeça que queria mesmo "tornei-me quase como um viciado" :-)

    2. Eu moro na Rua do Bonjardim :)
      Eu tenho zero resistência cardíaca ...já tive um problema grave numa das minhas pernas e estou oficialmente proibida pelo médico de correr e até de dançar -aí transgrido um pouco (não dançar doi na alma)

    3. Realmente estamos mesmo perto!
      sendo assim é compreensível.. custava-me um pouco, mas dando uns passos de dança já é uma grande satisfação! concordo completamente contigo! não diria melhores palavras Sara :-)

  10. Wow Diogo these are beautiful, the greens in these photos are so beautiful. And I absolutely agree, relaxing in a nice park, away from the craziness from the city is always something that we need. Unfortunately i won't be able to do that until spring since the snow has been endless around here. I love the snow though, I just need a mini break from it haha.

    1. Farrah, I completely understand you! I love snow but I don't know how long I could be surrounded by it :-) sometimes we just need a moment, if only a minute, but a pure moment, free from all the rush and madness "of the world".
      thank you so much for your kind words.
