O Pau Storch fez um destaque muito fixe, e bem merecido, ao trabalho intimista, genuíno, espontâneo mas muito consistente do Luís Costa! Ide ver o reel, e a seguir o resto das fotos na conta dele.
In 1998 a filmmaker spent five weeks so close to the France squad that they forgot he existed.
These are those photographs.

Watched: A Photographic Memory 🎬
This one was postponed a couple of times at Narrativa, yesterday was the day. Amazing how the memories someone has from the mother is a set of interviews of some of the greatest photographers of the XX century.
Flickr app prompted my login again, but it's ok!
Today I opened Flickr app on Android and got suspicious: it asked me to re-enter my login again, and in the current days of scams and phishing this is enough to raise a yellow flag in my head.
Then I understood why, the app had a significant update. Feels nicer now! Great to see it receiving some love, it’s hard to find a place online that’s not over the top, no frills, where someone can see and share some photos, without reels, popups or worries on how much of its audience a person can reach. It’s this simpler and less flashy side of photo sharing that has brought me back there in recent years, after some time of ignoring it (and even considering closing my account).
So if you’re there, feel free to say hi!!
PS- by the way, speaking of Flickr and passwords, it’s about time they implement a tighter authentication model, something that isn’t just password based. And fediverse support would be great also!
Why do I have two newsletters on my photo site?
The shortest answer is because Micro.Blog is forcing me to keep it separate.
But the actual reason is the same why I created two satellites to the main site on Micro.Blog in the first place: Fieldnotes and Just The Photos. One is more for the new stuff and updates, while other for the archive and memories. So it makes sense to keep them separate), specially because the second one, to me, feels like it needs a space on it own, away from the randomness from my updates. But that’s maybe just me being picky.
When configuring the newsletter I got stuck with that decision of creating them separate, having a single one could be interesting, but letting users pick what they want should be fine also. So, for now, you can have my photography updates in your email in two ways: the new stuff as it happens and the memories from my archive.
Nick Carver went down a fascinating rabbit hole of why Canon’s adapters with back filters always need a glass there. It’s very geek and fascinating at the same time, but may skip the Pedro Pascal part!
The guys at Petapixel just released a video called “How I Pack Less Camera Gear on Vacation” (no link, don’t want to give clicks)
Halfway in the video and they’re already in the second medium format camera… Do people (and reviewers in particular) have a sense of reality? What world do they live on?
Há alguns anos pude ver este lindíssimo “Baptismos da Meia Noite” do Joan Alvado exposto nos Encontros de Imagem em Braga, e nem era uma das exposições que estava no meu radar, fui porque alguém disse que não podia perder. Agora que passou a livro não o podia perder!
Dear Instagram, please stop enabling by default the notifications for your new random feature; please stop adding music to everything I post; please remove all the bloat you’ve been adding, “Instants”? As if Posts, Stories and Reels weren’t enough…
Lisbon Street Photo Fest is getting into a nice shape, after the awesome last year. Sabiha Çimen has just been announced as headliner, shortly after Paulie B, Melissa O’Shaughnessy and Nikos Economopoulos for the grand jury. I’m expecting another cool event in September!
A funny side-note, and interesting how things sometimes do a full circle: more than a decade ago me and some friends were organising a series of small photography talks, and since Nikos would be in Lisbon to run a workshop, we thought to pitch him to do a talk. And he did!
