Montreal Textures

Montreal Textures

This is a first set of pictures based on textures I find around Montreal. I find it’s an interesting way to notice what goes on around us. When I set out to take these pictures I thought I wouldn’t find anything. And I originally thought I didn’t. So I began photographing random buildings, plants, lights, reflections… At home, I worked on these pictures, which I believed to be a waste of time, and got these. And now I know I can find nice photographic material basically anywhere.

So true…

What kind of design do you want? - TITLE

I ran into this graphical representation of the possibilities of requirements for working on a design project a few times before. But this time I decided to spread it out a bit more. Of course, this is applied to all design, not just graphic design.

CITAR – Website

CITAR - title

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything work related. Most of the last websites I worked on as a freelancer are still in development phase, so I don’t want to put them up before they are actually live. In this case, the website was up already and my friend forgot to tell me. But, no harm done… and now here it is.

Back to Montreal II

After a nice two-week vacation in Brazil, I’m back. I had a great time and my brother got married – which I still find hard to believe – and saw my old time friends. My mom removed the internet from home, so I didn’t really have much online time back in Brasilia. Which I thought was great =) I took lots of pictures and soon I’ll put up a series of posts with pictures from Brasilia and other things I saw during the trip.

New Flash Unit… and randomness

Flash

After a while pondering on whether or not buying a flash unit for my camera, I finally bought it today. It’s the Canon Speedlite 430 SX II. I just started playing with it but but I’m pretty sure I’ll get the hang of it pretty soon.

Will Falcão, Sport Star!

Will Falcão

A friend of mine for whom I recently did his website was interviewed in Brazil’s largest news chains (or at least I think it’s Brazil’s largest) regarding the athlete’s preparation for competing. I’m not an expert in sports and specially not sport psychology so I’m not even going to try to explain what he talked about, but if you are interested, you can view the topic of his interview on his website here. And the interview can be seen by clicking here.

Montreal Fashion Week

Montreal Fashion Week Title

The Montreal Fashion Week was 2 weekends ago but only now did I have some time to look at the pictures. Unfortunately, I only found out about it on the last days, and I still only took pictures of this single event because later we went to a music store, and instead of coming back, I ended up in a pub with my friends. They weren’t very excited about going back to the fashion shows.

Insectarium – Beetles

Beetles

The Insectarium has an extensive collection of beetles. And I found them a little freaky, specially those that have horns or whatever they are called. I couldn’t help but imagine those beetles as the flesh-eating little monsters from “Egyptian-Pharaoh-Pyramids-Mystical” type movies. Having them crawling under your skin, while feasting on your meat. I get a little agonized just thinking about it.

Insectarium Montreal

Insectarium

After a long time meaning to go to the Insectarium of Montreal, I finally went there this weekend. Unfortunately, so did every kid in town. Nothing against kids, but when you get a couple hundred together and you can’t even think about anything.
