Josef Koudelka, in the presentation of the GFX100RF, sharing some bits of wisdom between all the marketing stuff: the secret to good photography is good shoes!
Suddenly everyone decided to start selling lenses from disposable cameras packaged for mirorless cameras?
Há exatamente cinco anos o Miguel A. Lopes lançava o desafio num grupo de WhatsApp, com dezenas e dezenas de fotógrafos, e esta foto do Gonçalo Borges Dias abria o EverydayCovid. Passado uns dias começavam as sessões de Zoom diárias para ir escolhendo o material que chegava (juntamente com o Ângelo Lucas, André Dias Nobre, Gonçalo Delgado, Rui Miguel Pedrosa e Rui Soares), depois o livro, as exposições e por aí fora. Muita coisa feita por imensa gente talentosa. Parece que foi ontem, mas ao mesmo tempo noutra vida.

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.
