February 2008

Finally had some time off to scan the negatives from February... Yeah, i'm kind of behind on that. Still have two films to develop from march and april. But that will have to wait unfortunetly.

In February I had a well deserved week of holidays, so Sarah, her friend André & I decided to go spend a weekend in Porto, which I had never visited before, so that was nice. Also, it was the first big trip in my brand new car, Vassil! :D He did very well.

Here are some photos of those 2 days.

Porto

The best 'francesinhas' in Porto. Yummy. The tiny restaurant only had 3 tables and one guy preparing the food! He sure knew how to, it was delicious!

Sarah <3

André :)

Good but expensive as hell cappuccino! Sitting there we also found out that Porto is the emo capital of Portugal. Never in my life did I see so many emo kids at the same time. They were everywhere. It was quite disturbing.

Sarah riding my gorgeous car in the city! I was pretty exhausted after my first long trip. :). She did well. eheheh. Oh, the TomTom helped! ahahaha

Serralves

Typical bathroom self portrait. Boring.

End of the Porto trip

Dropped by on a friend's homemade photoshoot. Never tried doing that, don't think I will, those lights gave me a headache! But she's doing great!

One evening, a couple of friends and I went to this place where you could play all kind of society games (?) like monopoly and stuff like that. Was good fun.

Antunes and his new facial hair style! It didn't last long, I liked it tho.
He hates it when I try to take photos of him. Sorry babes.

That's all for now folks.
I hope you enjoyed the ride and that everything is good with everyone.

Cheers,
MJ

It's baby time!

So... I got myself a baby sister last month! Yay. She's the greatest!

The only problem is that she lives thousands of km away... :(
Anyways, I leave you with a few photos from her first week on earth.

You are encouraged to leave comments saying how cute she is! Even though she looks a bit like G. W. Bush :s... ahahahahah





1st bath


I don't think she enjoyed it too much..

Oh Diana!

Back in november I got a little present for myself on my birthday: the Diana +.



So i've been having some fun with it, these are the first shots done with this beauty.

This little toy camera knows what it's doing huh? Well, I like it.

January and February were the months from hell: studying, exams, reading endless articles, writing papers and getting frustrated. That was about it.

The stupid anti-smoking law made that all the ashtrays (and associated garbage bins) ended up in one single hallway. Very clever...

However those months weren't all that bad (especially the second half of February, but that will come later) got to spend some time with my friends every once in awhile (after all, we were all in the same shit).

Duarte.
Tested my new 50mm 1.8 lense with him. I'm quite pleased with the results.

My father and step-mum came over for a couple of weeks in January so I got to cook for them, yey!
Yes, I yey to cooking.

I also yey to pretty little dark-speckled quails' eggs! I love this shot.

I'm a very very strange lady...

Finally got to see some friends of mine in action.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you "Jesus, The Misunderstood".

I also had the pleasure of finally seeing Chat live, she is lovely.

And that's all for now folks, more will come soon.

Love,

M.
