Don’t look back
A woman on her phone looks over her shoulder at some commotion, off camera, that has caught her attention. We’ll never know what.
An umbrella in the rain
Sometimes all you need is an umbrella. When it’s raining, it’s the best thing.
The white bridge of Lisbon
The Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge stands out clearly against the sky in this sunset photo in Lisbon.
The Blue Tuk Tuk
A blue tuk tuk driving along in front of the blue Court of Appeal of Lisbon in Portugal. I wonder how comfortable they are on those cobbles?
NAF1 in Lisbon
Nobody knows who NAF1 is, but in my research I did find a Portuguese company called NAF. Seems they’re involved in real estate and probably not a fan of graffiti. I don’t imagine this man is either.
Waiting for a Taxi
“Look, the taxi is coming now. I see it!””It better be Afonso driving. He owes me €10 from the other night.””Oh, doesn’t look like it. Not his car. You lent him that money to buy a gift for his mom, didn’t you?””Yeah, He paid far too much for a little figurine, but his mom loves…
Dreaming of Handstands
Wandering around Lisbon I came across this bus stop in the middle of the city. The guy pictured in the back of the bus stop caught my attention, contrasting nicely with the people waiting at the stop. When I got home, I looked up the text, “O SONHO NÃO PARA, ARRANCA”, it says, “THE DREAM…

In Ler Devagar
Ler Devagar is a bookshop in the LX Factory in Lisbon. Books line the walls on shelves too far up to reach, and of course, most of them are in Portuguese. There are a few in English, and even a few photography books. Unfortunately, many of them concentrate on architecture, but there was a really…
Look into my eyes
Sometimes I’m making photos on the street, or in this case, photographing from a moving tram, and someone will make eye contact. They’ll stand out from the crowd because they are different and made a connection.
Cobbles, Light and Shadow
I visited the Igreja Paroquial da Graça (Church of Our Lady of Grace) in Lisbon early one morning. There’s a beautiful view of the city, but if you look behind and around you’ll find these lovely cobbles. In the early morning, the houses opposite cast a shadow on the street and on the wall of…
