A Madalena Boto mais uma vez a fazer a fazer magia, agora a documentar vida selvagem em plena Lisboa.
…passa na RTP em breve!
Regarding Foto, and other social networks.
Foto is cool and clean, all that we wanted Instagram to be, but the issue is, in many ways, is just like all the others: it’s privately owned, centralized, closed, probably will be monetized at some point, and, as much as its founders are well intended, its roadmap will be decided by a handful of people. At some point, by the shareholders. Musk is right at one thing: these services are becoming the global, digital public square. And that’s why they need to evolve into something that’s open, decentralized and based on standards. And Foto doesn’t seem to be any of that.
Funny how photos allow you consolidate your memories. Not just the actual thing you photographed, that’s a no brainer, but everything around it: what you were doing, what you were eating, what you were listening, who you were with. As if the act of clicking also snapshots the brain.
The photographer that took the photo that might have won the election for Trump, or at least helped a lot, is no longer able to cover Trump. Let that sink in…
What a good flashback of Nepal from my mate João Lage! I clearly remember some of these coffee breaks.
That good feeling of planning a new trip, but still far away that you don’t get anxious with last minute details.
Apesar de estar a falar em causa própria, não tivesse ela uma cadeia de lojas na Baixa, acerta na mouche aqui: são tantas as lojas, cafés, restaurantes ou bares que dão lugar a uma janela com um sofá vazio, e que deixam a rua com menos vida.
Este ano estava a pensar se iria ou não fotografar no Entrudo, mas o João Maia (cúmplice destas coisas) lançou o isco e eu acabei por morder. Como sempre, valeu a pena a viagem . Regressar a festas que já se conhecia, conhecer novas, reencontrar amigos e terminar num lugar onde já meio que me sinto em casa: Vila Boa!
Playing around with this new Foto app, just to check what’s about, and also to claim my username. Still playing around, and since I haven’t been that active in socials I have no idea when I’ll post something, but here goes:
Sorry about the lack of updates, that was by design. But Patagonia is as beautiful as I dreamed it would be. The updates will follow shortly…
In stormy Sundays you can always go back to the stuff you have from sunny days, like just a week ago.
“(…) perhaps a country that actually wants oursiders.”
More than the actual effectiveness Spain’s decision, which is a valid conversation, the condescending, almost white-saviour tone of this is amazing. As if we should welcome the money brought by the foreign rich man…
“Spain Has Lost Its Mind. A 100% Real Estate Tax is Your Sign to Move Elsewhere“
Still from last week’s march against racism here in Lisbon, something that, according to our prime-minister, is very radical to do…Let’s be radical then.
I’m growing more and more disconnected of many travel people sharing stuff in the webs, specially Instagram. Trying to avoid generalizations, that I truly hate to do, but there’s a specific pattern that I seem to have a part of my brain dedicated to it:
- Plenty of videos in the stories walking in the streets with an action camera, saying “I’m in this really cool spot!”
- Visited country counter in the profile
- Linktree with all the affiliate links
Rant mode off…
So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄
