Shunnoz & Tekasala

Sometimes people ask me for how much longer do I picture myself doing this. How much longer do I imagine myself having what it takes to approach people here and there. And I always say there will be a day, for whatever the reason, it will stop making sense to me signing this. I don't know when that day will come (I can't even picture it in the horizon), but every now and then someone reminds me why I can't feel it coming close.That's what Shunnoz and Tekasala made me feel last Friday. They made me feel that when you have the whole humanity as an object (or at least the small sample brought to us by fate), we hardly ever risk feeling bored. Because when I try to see it from above I realise the number of languages, accents, geographical localizations, religious beliefs and the broad cultural and visual diversity that each one of these persons offers me. And when we stumble across Shunnoz and Tekasala there's something that becomes obvious. It's obvious I won't get tired of this so soon

Creative ways to fight the cold

Kim

When we're travelling for a year and nine months, by bike, from Korea, style isn't most likely our biggest priority. But the funny thing is that Kim, apparently even without noticing it, didn't lose that sense of style for the year, the other nine months and the extra pounds of the bike

Like a dandy

Unbearable lightness

Father & Son

I don’t know if André father ever told André son something like “You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know.” , but one thing’s for sure: among the habits one André has inherited from the other, there’s the one that made me stop someone at the street and say:

- Good afternoon. I would like to take a picture of you

Sam

People usually ask me “how do you find those people?”. I don’t find them, I just notice them. I’m eventually more interested in what surrounds me than most people are. In a boy with a school uniform I saw the coolest guy in the Carcavelo’s beach. The common gesture of holding the surf board made the perfect contrast with the tie he was wearing. I don’t find people. I just give them more attention than most people do. In the moment when a Milanese guy writes an SMS, a Madrilenian man walks his dog or a Lisbonian woman holds two water demijohns. Wouldn’t you have noticed any of these people? Wouldn’t you have noticed Sam in one of those Winter days that feel like Summer in Carcavelos?

The pleated skirt

I heard later that Helena has a degree in Pedagogy. She was probably very far from imagining that her photograph would also have such a pedagogic status. 99% of men doesn't know what a pleated skirt is. As I wouldn't have known some years ago if I hadn't created this blog. But tomorrow, when I'll be having dinner with my friends, I believe that each and every one of them will know what a pleated skirt is. And I'm almost capable of swearing that every man that visits this blog will remember that too

I do not know exactly what I feel about this picture but I´m pretty sure if perfection exists somewhere, this gentleman should not be too far away from it

It's all about the details, isn't it?

Yes, we do love shorts

"There is no more time, we have to close the book" said Rui Garrido, art director of my publisher, while he looked at his calendar, mentally calculating the time left between printing and the launch date. But I kept drying out his patience "you´re going to love this photo, you'll understand me when you see it". And he kept telling me… "José, there will always be one more photo". And he couldn´t be more right. This is precisely what I keep feeling sometimes. And it's what I felt when I photographed this Greek girl in Lisbon. I felt, that if we were to include moments like this, the book would never be closed
