Migrated my mastodon account to my micro.blog fediverse account. It’s the perfect solution for me. I can still follow people and comment on things, without the social media/feed/like/repost aspects! 😍
notes
DxO Photolab 9 came out today! 📷 I bought it within minutes of the release! I fell in love with v8 during the trial, it is miles ahead of LR. I’m so happy to be free from Adobe and supporting an European business!
I haven’t read a single book page in two months 😱
Mom, this morning: “Is it Tuesday already?”. Me, annoyed, emphatically: “Of course not, mom. Today is Wednesday”. At 18h30 we found out it’s Thursday and the only possible explanation is we must have been abducted by aliens! 👽
This week the cutest thing happened: five kittens were playing at a parking lot when this one spotted me hiding behind the bushes. She decided to investigate, I pretended to be part of the scenery, very very still, and sure enough, she got close enough for this portrait! 🐈📷
My 73yo mom decided to start blogging too! After a few days trying out wp, micro.blog, publii, we settled on a self-hosted Htmly install. We needed PT-BR support and ultra easy to use UI. Finally all those old poems, stories and dreams will leave her text editor and live at mariza.blog instead!

A month ago I went to Andalucía. It was amazing, I visited castles, went to two fancy restaurants, took a million photos telling myself I would make an online gallery, maybe even print and frame a few… and I still haven’t downloaded, edited or even looked at the images. It’s a struggle! 📷🗺
Enjoying a little sun during winter!! 🐶

It’s been almost a year since my last post. Oops.
The view from my desk 🐶
When we first moved to Spain, we rented an Airbnb for the first month in Castelldefels, a small town 30min by train from Barcelona.
Even though we didn’t stay long there, we fell in love with the local people and the city’s relaxed, easy going vibes. It was winter back then, so the next summer we came back to check the beach and yep, it was as amazing as we thought it would be! ☀️

Hi, I’m back! I haven’t posted in almost two years. Things have changed. I have changed. I moved to another city. I changed careers! Photography became my hobby and I didn’t know how to deal with it, with saying out loud I’m not a photographer anymore, I’m a frontend developer.
I don’t want my photos to be forgotten inside my computer drive. I have so many beautiful images to share! That’s why I’m back. This one is Barcelona beach, July 2018, the good ol' pre-Covid times.
We, blurred and shot on film, enjoying summer somewhere sometime. Eight and a half years with him. I hope it never ends.
While it’s true that the Swedish summer can be warm and nice, it usually isn’t. Most years are cold and rainy. There is always ONE week in July that’s quite perfect. Every five years there’s a heat wave that lasts two months. That’s it. The Swedish summer in a nutshell. ☔
Morocco, 2017.
Stockholm, 2018. Beautiful, as usual.
Barcelona, 2016. The week that changed everything.
I had no idea then that I would end up moving to Barcelona, quitting wedding photography, changing careers. All I know is, I’m living the life I’ve been dreaming about for the past 18 years!
Wild camping in Norway, 2016. This is one trip I’d love to do again!
One of the prettiest pueblos I’ve ever been to: Besalú, Catalunya.
Those past two days have felt so cold here in Barcelona. Wishing I could go back one month to an incredibly warm day visiting Tarragona.
Castell de Xàtiva
Throwback to enjoying summer with my mom and our little trip to Valencia!
Loved visiting the medieval pueblo of Montblanc yesterday. So incredibly charming. Locals believe the famous fight between Saint George and the Dragon actually took place in the mountains surrounding the pueblo – and absolutely NOT in Cappadocia, as we have all been wrongly led to believe. Beautiful red roses grew where the dragon blood was spilled, and this is why Catalans gift roses to each other on the day of Sant Jordi. So now you know it too.
Barcelona rooftop. High on my wishlist!
I take my dog every single day to the gardens behind Sagrada Familia. Who would have thought? - Barcelona, 2017.
