It appears blogger is having a few problems, so i'm just testing to see if it lets me post...

Hello everybody!
As the weather in London keeps very wintery, I've decided to go to Lisbon for a couple of weeks and see if I can catch a bit of sun. It's not a holiday, as I'm taking work with me and will be reachable by e-mail. It's more like a temporary relocation.
Don't be too jealous, I'll be back before the summer even starts...

My grandfather Ildo would have been 82 years old today. He was this amazing man, very intelligent and generous, one of the best friends I ever had. I'm very proud that his hometown has decided to pay tribute to his work by naming a street after him.

I don't know what (if anything) happens when you die, but if you do go to a nice place, with internet and all, maybe he can read this, so...

Parabéns Avô Ildo!

Snow Patrol at the Koko in Camden : awesome! I didn't have big expectations for this gig and was really tired from yesterday's, but as soon as the music started, I forgot all about the pain and fatigue.
Gary Lightbody (what a name!) surprised me with his energy and voice, and the Koko really is a small beautiful venue, perfect for this sort of concert. As promised, here are the photos.

It was great. They didn't really play too many of the old songs, so they missed a few of my favourites. But do I love their new album Meds and really enjoyed it live. So here are the photos.

Snow Patrol in a while... camera is charged and ready! Check back tomorrow...

Today Placebo, tomorrow Snow Patrol! I guess I deserved a bit of a break by now... I'll have some pictures up tomorrow!

In case you're wondering what I have been up to in terms of work lately, let me tell you: a lot!

Which means that I'm in the middle of many different projects, in various stages, and hardly any of them finished so I can post them here. But soon, I'll have a lot to show, and will really have to go update my portfolio with all the new stuff.

One project that is indeed finished is Beate Sonnenberg's redesigned portfolio. It's lighter and more minimalistic than the previous version, all done in flash, and I think it shows off her beautiful stills in a perfect manner. And since we're talking photography, just to let you know, Roberto Rubalcava has also updated his portfolio with some great fashion shots, so please go and take a look.

I guess I have been busy with portfolios lately... Soon Marta Teives' and Cátia Peres' portfolios, also designed by yours truly, will be online too. I'll make a post about them as soon as they are out.
