Cross processed Lazarim

Cross processed slide film from Lomography. It's always a surprise when I go pick up the prints!! 

Carnival in Lazarim

a sister's heart

Yesterday I went to pick up a special package from Luisa, my sister, and Bino, my soon to be brother-in-law. It's a silver heart, a contemporary work of the more traditional heart from Viana. It's so pretty! 

Minha linda irmãzinha, muito obrigada!! 

Bino as a pinhole

Happy Birthday Bino!!!

twin lense reflex

Finally I developed the rolls of film taken with my wonderful Christmas present! I adore the cross-processed effect on slide film because you never know what to expect. These were all taken on my daily path from home to work. What I most enjoy about twin lens reflex cameras is holding them at a waist line and playing around with the image projection on the viewfinder.

the day I was born

I think that if most people who know me would see my on my birthday probably wouldn't recognize me... let's just say I'm not my usual happy self. Thankfully, I have amazing friends and family that make sure I put a smile on my face and make me feel loved.

beach and embroidery

it was 7.30pm and I was taking a swim... I love summer!!!!

...meanwhile in between swims I caught up on some embroidery for the shop and for Jaime. 

Picnic da Estrela

To all Lisbon residents: 

Tomorrow instead of heading home after work, bring something to eat and a blanket and join us for an after work picnic at the Jardim da Estrela. Bring a friend, a stranger, a neighbor, your dog, cat and fish... and break the routine with a different end to your day!

florescent yellow

These are my favorite summer shoes: florescent yellow DKNY sandals. This is my second summer using them and they're becoming a bit (a lot) worn out! It seems futile of me but I've grown attached to these sandals...

museums are dead, long live the streets

 

Downtown Lisbon this afternoon.

Costume Items

Most of the things I do are usually for friends and family, in fact, this is what got me started in the first place. I now decided to open up and take in requests, in case anyone is interested in my work... here's the info you need!
