I found a lot of photo negatives of pictures I made 25 years ago in Portugal.
I scanned them and this is the result.
All bleached, covered with hair, exposed to the sun. So not perfect. But still…
I like these pictures, because it shows how Portugal was in these days. And it brings back a lot of good memories. It is not art (although their quality lies in their imperfections). I did not “improve” them in Photoshop. This is just it.
This summer I will visit Lisbon again, after 25 years. Of course again with my camera.
There will be one big difference. Then I was just a starting artist. Now I am an experienced one.
So probably I will make very different, non touristic pictures.
Or not?
We will found out.
