Rust Never Sleeps
Multiple Fernando Pessoa - Photo: Mário Pires
Yesterday was Fernando Pessoa birthday, so i made a little homage to his 3 best known heteronyms.
I used Camera+ to take the photos, of some book covers with his picture, processed them in Halftone and layered them in Photoforge2.

Palm tree, Photo: Mário Pires
In January 2010 i made a list of photo projects i wanted to develop in 2010, a year later it’s time to access the status of those.
Chiado Project
The “7 Visões no Chiado” project was successfully completed, It was shown in Lisboa, Vila Nova de Paiva and Coimbra (more dates coming soon). I made a series of blog posts about it. I wish to take it to Porto and back to Lisbon before the end of the year.
Prazeres Graveyard
I did three sessions on this project, and was unable to advance it further. But after i had Brenda Turnnidge review the work, i lost some doubts i had about the focus of the work. I expect to be able to schedule some more sessions in the spring.
MobileOne
I started this series with Nokia mobile phones, then i added a iPod Touch and iOS photo apps, and then the iPhone4. it’s no longer a series, it’s body of work that grows everyday! The iPhone is constatly with me and i haven’t used the Lumix in months. The camera is good enough and all the photo applications that i can mix and match give me endless creative opportunities. We can be mobile artists with nothing but this small device!
“T” Project
Postponed. Without a couple that knows how to T, it can’t be done right.
4 Cars…
I finished photographing for the project and then got some doubts about the whole series. It’s sleeping in the archives until i pick it up again and start editing it into the final form.
And for 2011 ?
Publishing some POD books is my goal, hope i can pull it off.

Before and After Science - Diptych (original and processed iPhone photo)
After roughly four months using the iPhone 4 i must say that for mobile photography it is clearly the best platform. The hardware is very good, but that’s just the base. It’s the wonderful applications that are part of the iOS operating system that raise it form good to wonderful. I take pictures with it everyday and the best part is that i can shoot, process and send it out into the world in a matter of minutes if i want it. A artist studio in my hand, a fantastic tool to create anywhere.
