This and that

This will be a completely random post. But after various requests from friends to show their pictures I decided to post them on the blog and mix a few others in between. It is really as though I would run a script like:

<---- SECURITY ALERT ---->
Content removed due to high levels of geekness.


So we'll start with a great friend, Pedro.

Playing poker the whole night.
Spending the night in Stuttgart in the company of homeless waiting for the first morning train.
Went to Li Zhen's place where with his neighbour we prepared these chinese dumplings. They were absolutely delicious!

Still from the time the 3 american guys were here. Good times...
They taught us how to play beer-pong. Great game!

During a visit from Vladimir.
During another one.

And one more.


Found this photo on my pc and laughed out loud. "Brothers' love" would be the appropriate title.
On my way to meet Aleksandar.


It was laying in the attic of a friend's house, which was under renovations.
Went to a walk with Daniel and Ernesto, from erasmus. The local footbal fans don't like Aachen, thus the glove.
I found this situation hilarious. Three devils and three angels :D
Good things come to those who wait
Hanging out with the spanish-speaking erasmus people. Yes, it is a real steam locomotive.
Met with Pedro for a coffee and to give him some tips on his newly bought camera.

And a cat joined us.

On a photo-walk with the lovely Tanya.
All the pink in the photo. How nice!
There is a square in the university full of such brains. This sculpture is called "The brains field" or something, no idea by whom. Creepy...

First time holding a MF camera. And I love the colours here! It was very easy to achieve. The main light above is fluorescent, so I lit a small tungsten lamp camera left to iluminate her, achieving this contrast.
With Sara and Pedro on a walk through the city.







And that's it. Hope you've enjoyed it!

Apart from the indisputable quality of the photos, I've to say one thing:

That Pedro (the one that supposedly bought the camera recently) is a very handsome young man! I just think he's not in is best pose on that particularly photo... :D. Just kidding.

Once again, congratulations for the photos, love them. You know that... :P

Erasmus... dos poucos sonhos que provavelmente nunca irei realizar.

@Tiago:There was no prohibiting sign to take photos, if I recall it right :P
@anonymous:Well, if you say so, I believe you.
@miauzz:Em princípio eu também não... e é pena.
Tinha a impressão que estavas em Erasmus em Itália. Pelos vistos estava enganado.

É bom saber que mesmo à distância há amigos que se lembram de nós e que nos homenageiam, sim, porque uma simples imagem vale mais que mil palavras e só o facto de tu colocares essa foto no blog já por sí só é um belo gesto de amizade. Um amigo é algo que nunca deveríamos por de lado, é algo que nunca deveríamos esquecer, mas a verdade é que, infelizmente, e muitas vezes, não por vontade própria nos esquecemos um pouco deles. Não significa isto que estes amigos não sejam importantes para nós, porque o são. Com esta mensagem quero simplesmente dizer que infelizmente não tenho estado tão presente quanto o queria. Aproveito aqui para pedir Desculpas pela minha ausência e dizer que admiro o Alexey pela sua amizade, coragem, força e determinação e que será sempre um grande amigo. Um Abraço do teu amigo João

Bem, que posso dizer? Sempre disse que tens um talento para a fotografia. O blog está muito bem feito, as fotografias estão, no mínimo, espectaculares! Eu ainda hei-de fazer muita propaganda às tuas fotos;) Até porque depois vou poder gabar-me, dizendo "ah pois, ele é MEU amigo!!"=P

Mas de resto, espero ver fotos novas no blog!!! Abraço!!

Alexey G. said...

@João: Sabes como te agradeço por essas palavras. Obrigado!
@Seph: :)
@Vladimir: E tu ainda me estás para dar um autógrafo para eu já ter um e depois me poder gabar perante as tuas fãs.
