This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to photograph lightning, and also isn’t the first time I wasn’t particularly successful… still, the results are better than the time I tried to shoot a passing thunderstorm from the beach in Cape

There is a surprisingly large amount of things that Zé Pequeno and I have in common… we share a deep fondness for roast chicken, walking on the beach, nap time… and chasing the pigeons. This is Setubal, a beautiful city

It wasn’t really a photo mission, it was just a dogwalk… but the light was so pretty. Doesn’t look like winter, does it? Don’t be jealous because you have snow and we don’t…
