Boy oh boy, it’s tough to be a photographer!

Hi gang!

Since my birthday is 375 days, 9 hours ago, I’ve decided to take a few days off.

What better way to spend the morning of a lazy ass day, than to set up the enlarger I’ve bought recently?

My really issue was to get a table on my attic so I could put the enlarger, and other enlarging related stuff. There was this table, but it was too small. Luckily, when I got there, I’ve found a door, that would do just fine!

pretty neat! I even got the bonus of having a tap! Now, I only need the following items to start enlarging (let me remind you that my birthday is 375 days, 9 hours ago):

• developing trays (ebay) (ebay) …
• paper developer (fnac) (colorfoto) …
• safe light
• paper (fnac) (colorfoto: 1, 2, 3, 4, …) …
• print tongs (ebay) (ebay) …

and I am set to GO!

you can buy all of these at fnac.pt, colorfoto.pt or ebay! And yes, these are all very cheap items! (fnac for instance sells every single item on that list, I just couldn’t find them all on their website, same probably goes for colorfoto)

So don’t be coy, and bring your friend some joy! (what?!)

Ora bem…

Já passou algum tempo desde o último post, mas é melhor ter qualidade do que paleio que nada interessa…

O Dia de São Valentim, foi um dia que começou com o funeral do pai da mãe do meu Andrézito. Suposições à parte, o funeral foi em Coimbra logo cedinho pela manhã e apesar da atmosfera de quietude e respeito pelo ritual… não foi algo que me desanimasse para o resto do dia – talvez porque eu e o André não conheciamos o senhor.  Assim foi, apanhei o comboio e às 9 e meia já estava em Coimbra. (O cemitério é antigo e muito bonito, com factos interessantes).

Depois… fomos até à sua casa, onde fizemos a habitual troca de prendas.  De mim para ele: uma amorosa caneca com um saquinho de gomas heart-shaped no interior E um kit muito especial com um jogo para meninos crescidos… e mais não acrescento. Dele para mim: *tambores a rufar* Read more…

“First things, first…”
Ora, no último dia 29 de Janeiro, eu e o Andrézito comemorámos os nossos 2 aninhos de aturar um ao outro. Anitos complicados mas totalmente recompensadores (na minha modesta opinião ). Como o menino gosta muito de fazer surpresas, decidiu perguntar-me na noite de 28 de Jan. se podia vir cá passar a noite – a Lisboa. Pois bem, portas abertas para o meu morzão entrar. Uma vez que já estávamos perto da hora, decidimos fazer uma pequena reuniãozinha no meu quarto com as prendas que iamos trocar. SIM, prendaS no plural porque nós não fazemos a coisa por menos. Da parte dele recebi: Read more…

Marisa is a great photographer

Me and Marisa have been together for two years now (it was our birthday on the 29th of the present month), and so she decided to give me something special. I think it is a personal record actually

Hi gang,

I have just added a link to the top of the page (where am I), which should show up my location (or at least, where my Blackberry thinks I am). I am still figuring out the frequency I will use to update those values, because that means the mobile phone turning up the GPS, and sending the values through zeh Interwebs, which, of course, costs battery.

Also, I would like your help in deciding which gallery system I should keep. The new one, actually fetches the photos from flickr, so it’s more practical for me, as I don’t have to update both the galleries (the andrelemos.com and flickr.com one).

Ps.: try not to judge the galleries based on their contents, but rather on the layout/functionality!

Well… My own…

During a debate on an internal mailing list on the company where I work, we started discussing the pros and cons of digital against analogic photography. Of course, I couldn’t stand still, so, along the day, I ended up writting a really big e-mail (in Portuguese, sorry folks), with the path I have done, photography wise.

You’ll probably find some rants along the way, so be sure to wear your protection hat.
