A few details from a recent trip into Lisbon…

Kerry and Tara’s Portugal roadtrip – Day 1 – Ericeira to Praia da Galé.
It seems like another lifetime ago, but really it was only a few months back, in August, that one of my closest friends came over from the UK for a week. Tara and I haven’t been friends since we were little kids, we were both almost finished with university when we first met, and since then we have spent more time on opposite sides of the world than actually being in Cape Town at the same time… me on ships for 5 years and then in Portugal, Tara moving between Germany, Cape Town and now Brighton… and yet in spite…
Still alive, promise!
Oh my sweet little blog, how I miss you! And I have things to share, I promise… I just don’t have time right now to get stuck into personal images. But it’s not to say that this is a bad thing! We’re crazy busy, but it’s a good busy… a fulfilling and exciting busy. One of my bestest-friends-ever came over for a week to visit and we went on a road trip, as we do when we get together (you can see the second last one here). Plus we also got to go to Terceira Island in the Azores recently,…
Picnic
Because sometimes you just need to eat grilled sausage and stare at the sea…
Rain
We’re not even halfway through the year and I am already failing miserably in my intentions to post here more regularly… it’s a sad truth that I still have photos from South Africa that haven’t even been edited yet, nevermind blogged… Anyway, maybe I’ll get to them one day, but for now, here are some rainy photos, because good grief, we haven’t had quite enough rain recently! Luckily our clients are of the very bravest kind and in spite of the miserable weather since we got back to Portugal (3 rainy weddings and several other shoots) they have all been…
Cape Town calling…
We’re off south again, to spend some time with friends and family, catch up on the tan and shoot a wedding in Ceres, our first South African wedding, and what better spot than in that mystical valley from the back of a juice box! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s ok, you’re not alone… Cape Town, here I come!!
Blurry Things
I have pretty bad eyesight, in that I am extremely shortsighted… have been since I was 7 years old, I was that kid at school with the ugly thick glasses, you know, the one who should have been really shy and quiet, so as to avoid being picked on, except I was loud and pretty obnoxious, which didn’t work too well for me in the picked on department. I guess I should have thought that strategy through a bit more… Either way, I wear contact lenses now, and I’m still pretty obnoxious, but getting better with age… and this is what…
The waves of the sea help me get back to me
As much as the title accurately describes my relationship with the ocean, I can’t claim to have come up with it myself… my skills are more in the photography department and less in the poetry. Quote from this poster I found on Pinterest, originally from Lifeologia.
São Gregorio
One of our most favourite things to do when we have nothing to do is drive. Once when we were in Puerto Rico we hired a car and drove around the entire island in a day. We only stopped once, for lunch, and then carried on driving… in retrospect it might have been a good idea to stop and explore the coastline but we were happy just to drive. This small town of São Gregorio was discovered on one of our wandering road trips through the Alentejo recently… A church dating back to 1632 gives me the idea that once…
Its all about the light
Back in the day when I was studying History of Art as one of my high-school subjects we studied Van Gogh (who is still one of my favourites) and followed the evolution of his painting style from the very beginning in Holland until his death years later in France. One thing that struck me during those classes was the fact that Van Gogh made such a big deal about the quality of the light in the south of France, in comparison to the light in Holland. It was something that I didn’t understand at the time… I figured that the…
