Rust Never Sleeps
After the first series i returned to the Prazeres graveyard. This graveyard is huge, and every visit can unlock a corner gone unnoticed in previous ones. I will continue to go there until i feel i have some 30 or 40 pictures that can be published as a coherent lot.

Some time ago i went to a photowalk that took part in Prazeres graveyard in Lisbon, me and Pedro Pinheiro, Luís Amaral, João Nogueira, Nuno Correia, Bruno Rodrigues,Sérgio Bernardino e João Almeida. The results that came out of it made me want to make a longer series.
Before this photowalk, i decided to just look for details to avoid dispersion, and as a way to get a more focused series. But when this one was over i had some photos i liked a lot, and the idea of returning started to emerge.
To be enthusiastic about a subject and feeling the need to develop it further it’s not usual these days. Most photowalks are a end to itself, fun occasions of sharing photography with like minded people. But from the results of this one i felt the need to develop a full series about this particular graveyard.
Ok, but to do what ?
It’s very important to know the possible outcomes of a series early on, so that we can use the means necessary to show it properly.
Will i make gigantic prints ? Or a very small book ? Will i only show it on-line ?
In my case i’m thinking about a POD book, and maybe a gallery showing if i can find one that is wiling to show an unknown photographer. But before that i need to gather a body of work that deserves to be shown, and that is the first thing i must do, starting now.
