Watched

Mercado de la Imprenta

Mercado de La Imprenta, a hidden gem in Valencia. Tucked away in an alleyway, out of the tourist path, frequented only by the locals, this place is really pretty and ideal for a cold beer or artisanal vermouth. We had both, while waiting for the restaurants to start serving… After starving for a couple hours, we were finally rewarded with a very tasty sushi and a bottle of Ribera del Duero wine. Perfect Friday! 🍷

Sunrise at Mirador El Garbí 📷☀️

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! 📷🗺

Sunset at Ciutat de les Arts i Cièncias

This weekend we went to the xmas market at Ciutat de les Arts i Cièncias. I’ve been there many times before, but I hadn’t seen it during sunset and blue hour. The colors, the reflections, the shapes, it was so inspiring! 📷

Chelva

Today we visited Chelva, a really beautiful pueblo that is known as Valencia’s Chefchaouen (a city in Morocco). In love with all the white and blue! From there, a quick hike in the Ruta del Agua trail.

Sigtuna's reds

So many friends have asked me on social media about how my trip is going and, c’mon you guys, I haven’t left my home in 1.5 years!! I’m using these Covid times to go through, edit and share some old photos. Starting now, I’ll add the year taken to each image, in case anyone bothers to read. 🗺️ Sigtuna, 2016.

Sigtuna's blues

Sigtuna is magical. White and blue. Fishing boats. Ice cream. 🗺️📷 Sigtuna, 2016.

It’s been almost a year since my last post. Oops.

The view from the road, arriving in Sa Calobra! Mallorca, 2018.

A small bed & breakfast inland and a rented car to explore the island. One full week of Mallorca! 🗺️

This beach is called Cala Agulla and it really was as blue as it looks in the image.

Last, but not least: Ryanair cancelled our flight back home, the island was crowded and they couldn’t find any cheap accomodation near the airport, so we were forced to overnight at this incredible luxury hotel with a view to the sea, and had and amazing dinner including a bottle of wine, all expenses paid by RyanAir! I’ve never been this lucky, before or after.

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.

Swedish summer

Reminiscences of a Swedish summer. One of the very best years, spent swimming at the dog beach and picnicking near secluded lakes and rivers.

Also: one of my first rolls of 120 film + Mamiya 645!

My feet and the weather we want. Morocco, 2017.

Norway, summer 2016. The most beautiful country I’ve ever been to.

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!

Somewhere in northern Sweden, 2 years ago.

When I was a kid, I once looked up while walking on a street in my hometown Recife, and I noticed some numbers at the very top of an old building. 1908. The year of the construction. That was game-changing for me.

Most people look down when walking. They spend their lives looking at the floor when they should be looking up to the tall buildings, the historical curiosities, the birds flying above our heads, the first signs of spring.

This weekend I challenge you to look up when you are out and about. What do you see?

Barcelona

The little things I love about Barcelona.

Girona

Snaps from Girona. We had a lovely weekend, walks all over town, ate good food, had delicious vermut at a cute little terrace, and the chocolatiest cup of hot chocolate ever!

A cozy winter morning in Barcelona.

Discovered this little street by chance. I want to live in a little house like this!
