1. “Thumb a lift” means “Faire du STOP” in French. And this is something I’ve never done so far… We need to try it A.S.A.P.
2. No plane, just storms
3. Learning/Vertical
4. From the behind (insert sexual comment here)
5. The Other Side (insert RHCP lyrics here)
.
6. The last dude walking, the last car running
7. Instruments, backpacks, suitcases, books and postcards… and a bed, of course.
8. The seconds hand of this clock produces ultrasonic frequencies… A mistery when I first arrived in this lovely place. My ears are very sensible to these sounds. My girlfriend didn’t figure it out herself, it was a friend of her. :)
9. Messy bed, wires, the bus and posters. Comfy.
10. Who drinks faster? Who eats faster? Who knows? Haha :D
11. Lisboa from its top point — part I
12. Lisboa from its top point — part II
13. She’s pretty when she smiles, she’s even prettier when she wakes up. I love you.
14. I can’t say that with a proper Portuguese accent but I really do; Eu amo te, Salomé.
15. This is NOT the Golden Gate bridge, hé non.
16. She plays the violin (and the piano, and the guitar…)
17. Round-shaped cool building
18. She turns at me right on time (night is falling here)
19. She’s more useful than a tripod, I used her shoulder to snap that one!
20. She fits perfectly next to a Citroën 2CV (and any other car)
21. She has wonderful and tasty hair. She has good taste with coffee. Well, do you see how lucky I am? :’)
22. The world is all composed with waves. Oceanic waves, electrical waves… What’s funny is that you can’t mix them.
23. Next stop/Prazeres 28
24. This photographer offers a black & white photograph in 10 minutes. Using a 100 ASA Ilford negative paper, he shoots people on a first sheet of paper. That gives a negative photo. Then, he shoots a photo of the negative paper, resulting in a positive image. Easily. All the chemicals for developing are inside his darkroom. This is super impressive! A must try… We loved it! <3
(A la minute Lisboa)
25. “A genius and his magic camera”, or something like this.
26. Rinsing with clean water… and here comes your photos. You want two copies? He just shoots the negative twice, et voilà ! :D
27. An endless line…
28. … See you very soon, Portugal.
Camera: Minolta Dynax 500si with Sigma 28-80mm AF lens
Film: Kodak T-Max 100 #001 — development courtesy by OldSchoolPhotoLab.comStory of the roll: I used to love Kodak for its color films. And comparing the T-Max film to the FP4 Plus from Ilford, as both have sensibly the same ISO rating (100 vs 125), and as I have shot three rolls of FP4 so far, I really enjoy Ilford’s film. BUT, now that I tried Kodak’s BW film… my taste may have moved to a different choice. It seems that Kodak’s T-Max offers an even wider range, better contrast, more details. Maybe less grain? Anyway, this film is perfect for bright days. Yes, I prefer it over Ilford’s FP4 Plus. But I’ll continue shooting both. And you’ll understand why, later. :)
PS: Here I shared 28 exposures from the 32 I took. And this is the first time I shoot vertically that much!
Place: Portugal, Lisboa (Lisbon)
