I'm very grateful for your comment, Gary ! This image, like the threshold one, represents the transition between different environments. I chose them very intentionally and sequentially, as I believe these passages tell a unique visual story. Each transition has its own character and meaning...

Echoes of "Déjeuner sur l'herbe" 👍 This black and white photograph somehow evokes the spirit of Manet's "Déjeuner sur l'herbe", transposing the scene from the famous painting to a more everyday and rural context. Whilst Manet presents elegant figures in a bucolic clearing, this image captures...

Gary, when I saw this image it seemed like one of those photographs by some American author from the 70s. Black and white with the kids looking at us in expectation, something that would seem difficult to capture in these days. Kind of Mary Ellen Mark, Garry Winogrand or Susan Meiselas... You...

Thank you, Drago, for your very brief but complimentary comment. :) I must confess that, after capturing this image and processing it at home, I realised I had inadvertently cut off the complete designation of the pastry shop. The name doesn't appear in full, as it should, causing me some...

Professional Backstage In the stainless steel entrails of a professional kitchen, each surface tells a story of culinary dedication, where the contrast between the welcoming warmth of the illuminated public area and the metallic coldness of the washing equipment reveals the essential duality of...

Gary, once a day would be enough ! :) On the first day of my photographic project at Capri, I arrived quite early at 7:30 in the morning. Half an hour before opening, a small queue had already formed of people eager for their morning breakfast: fresh pastries, hot coffee and the traditional...

Thank you for your comments Peter, Drago, Gary and Bill. This project does indeed have, as its fundamental idea, the creation of some form of memory of the past. Photography, in this context, transcends its merely documentary function to become a way of preserving not only physical spaces, but...

Photographic Project Presentation Capri Pastry, in Setúbal, has existed for approximately 65 years, being until July 2025 a well-known establishment in the city centre, with a regular and faithful clientele, aware of the consistently excellent quality of its pastry. However, times change and the...

Wow, Gary decided to get serious with the delete button! Who would have thought that a little joke like that would result in such a coherent, harmonious and captivating set of images ! Sometimes it's really by playing around that we achieve the most serious results - and this outcome is simply...

Drago, don't be at all impressed by my madness of having so much photographic equipment. Don't be intimidated by it, nor think that taking good photographs necessarily requires having great cameras or expensive lenses. None of that corresponds to the truth. What truly matters is being able to...

The first two images are in visual dialogue, evoking abstract landscapes. The first, in shades of blue with golden veins, conveys serenity and lightness. The second, vibrant in orange and black, radiates tension and emotional strength. Both seem to invite the viewer into their textures – the...

I do have other priorities ! I will be travelling again by the end of the year. Money is not elastic !

I completely understand that situation, sometimes other life priorities end up relegating photography to the back burner, but that's natural and even healthy. The important thing is that you're keeping your photographic eye active with the iPhone, which produces impressive results nowadays. I...

What a fantastic observation, Gary! You're absolutely right - these geothermal landscapes do have an almost extraterrestrial quality. The photographs were taken at El Tatio in Chile in the early morning hours, when steam rises dramatically from the geysers. The only downside was the presence of...

That's a very interesting observation about visual conflict - that perspective hadn't occurred to me, but you're absolutely right. The absence of scale references does create that fascinating ambiguity. As I mentioned earlier, all the photographs were taken at El Tatio in Chile, always at ground...
