centro português de fotografia


Temos sido confrontados nas últimas semanas com notícias, a que se tem dado pouco relevo, contraditórias mas muito preocupantes, sobre o futuro do CPF, podendo existir o perigo real desta instituição ser esvaziada de conteúdo até vir a ser extinta.

Preocupados um grupo de fotógrafos solicita a mobilização de todos os fotógrafos e de toda a gente que gosta de fotografia, para se concentrarem no CPF – Cadeia da Relação no dia 3 de Junho, sábado, às 15 horas, com as suas máquinas fotográficas, para simbolicamente fotografarmos todos o CPF por dentro e por fora. Se conseguirem extinguir o CPF haverá um registo, uma prova em negativo ou em digital, uma marca nos corações de todos nós, do crime cometido e da instituição destruída pelo MC.

Durante a concentração discutiremos como continuar o protesto, nomeadamente utilizando o material fotográfico resultante da nossa acção.

mais informações, aqui. apareçam se puderem e ajudem a divulgar!

up up and away! no wait! not away… :(

levi and lulu, dear friends, feet on the sky.
he knows nothing about his future except he wants to fly somewhere and explore some more. she’ll return to shanghai in about a month, to wear her ally-macbeal-professional-outfit once again.
she wore a bikini for the first time the day i took this picture: we managed to convince her to do so, despite her relutance – as it is not morally allowed in china (or most asian countries, i’ve heard).
her big happy smile, sunbathing in the grass: “this is nice.”
indeed.

i’ve been in the netherlands for the past 8 months, and now that my head is in countdown mode towards september, i can’t seem to actually believe it. not just yet. all my life is here (except for family and the bit of my heart that flew overseas), on this cozy room, walls filled with stories, details and memories.
living in the same corridor with all the people that got to be my closest friends. it’s just too good AND it’s true.

fishey contest!

last week troia, my little yellow guppy (a guppy is a tiny little species of aquarium fish) passed away.
porca was not feeling so good anymore, all alone… so friends around here decided to get him some company.
four guppies and a second hand aquarium later, i have 5 happy little fish, joyfully swimming all day long. problem is, they don’t have names… so the survey is open on the comments. what names do you suggest for the four new fishes? give it your best shot!

plus, there will a little something for the winner(s) :P what are you waiting for?

ps – i dont know much about their personality yet. one is black with blue reflections on the scales, one is half black half white, one is orange with purple dots and one is yellow, with white dots. the yellow one is faithfully followed by porca the whole day. :| they’re all tiny and lovely.

hazy cosmic jive

Didnt know what time it was the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin down some rock n roll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren’t no d.j. that was hazy cosmic jive

There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds

There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile

He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

…
starman, david bowie on the itunes.

it’s all worthwhile, oh yes it is. :)

ps – sing along, look for a starman in the sky and wave your heads to the music.

featuring ana and her workplace, from the bevrijdingsdag (liberation day) festival, in the city park. warm days, blue skies, green grass and music in the air… feels like summer :D
