When you’re crossing the 25 de Abril bridge, driving into Lisbon, the National Pantheon, also called Sta. Engrácia’s Church, is one of the landmarks that stands out from the gorgeous cityscape.

After many years without setting foot on that part of Lisbon, I visited Feira da Ladra again today. A few questions lingered on my mind: Who wears second hand shoes? How much of a market is there for rusty tools? How desperate do you have to be to buy a used vibrator from a floor stall?

Birds chirrup in the trees, bees buzz by, and the two maiden cats dream idly on the windowsill. Springtime surrounds them with light, warmth and cheer. Suddenly something draws their attention to the ground. A dazzling and dashing young cat of black velvet fur and bright button eyes serenades them through the gate, and steals […]

In a band’s history, second album gigs are usually the best. When a band has only one album, they can’t afford being picky, and just have to play everything they have. If they have a few more albums, they have to be too selective, and sometimes losing some really good songs, or risking very long […]

Lots of new-school London cafes have seating by the huge windows. People often choose them to watch the world rush by while they chat, munch, nibble and sip. Do they realise they are on display as well, like living adverts for the food they are eating, real mannequins on a shop window?

Beautiful sunny Sunday outside, but work got me trapped at home. The office window wide open, to let the elements in, left nonetheless a feeling of being caged, due to the anti-burglar iron grid.

As expected, the show was as much a rock concert as it was a circus act, with a big ensemble of quirky characters, part […]

Update: Apparently these different new lights on Regent Street are sponsored by Nokia, and interact with the crowd down below. More information on this here.

…my cats, of course. Yesterday I turned my living room into a little improvised photo studio, so I could take some food shots for a project I’m working on (more on that soon). While I was fiddling with the light and the camera settings, Cookie and Muffin decided to investigate the set, and make sure everything […]

Yesterday’s Interpol gig in Lisbon’s Coliseu dos Recreios was great. I was a tad too tired to join the crowd and jump like a teenager, which is how I always behave like in concerts, but we found a very nice sitting spot with a good view of the stage and enjoyed every minute of it. I […]

Cookie and Muffin aren’t really of much help when I’m trying to keep my desk tidy.
