NOTHING TO SAY

Shooting with the HASSELBLAD
Walking the streets of Porto with a camera like the Hasselblad is no easy task, its a heavy camera , it’s not easy to ‘point and shoot’ which means you need to be more aware of your surroundings to capture special moments.

At home we have washing lines, they are an eye-sore so are usually put out of sight. But here as the sun come out, washing becomes the feature that catches your eye, and in a weird way it does not look ugly? For a family of 5 I can assure you we are running outContinue reading “Please let the sun shine”
