Who's there?

Last weekend, I was on my way to a market to take some pictures but decided to stopped along the way for this. This is a picture of a shadow of a man who talks to himself and sells books in downtown Lisbon.
I wish I had caught the shadow of this head!

Napping

Yup, this man is really sleeping. It was the middle of the afternoon, and this nice looking man was taking a nap on a bench in a public square in Lisbon.
The statue of a man with a book instead of a face is Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese poet.

I Love You

Remember falling in love to this ↓?

No? Shame on you. It's 18 love stories, each one set in a different district in Paris, each directed by a different director and tons of actores and actrices. Just to name a few directors you have Gérard Depardieu, Olivier Assayas, Sylvain Chomet, Gus Van Sant or the Coen Brothers. When it comes to actors, well, they are literaly, tons: Gaspard Ulliel, Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood, Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Nick Nolte, Fanny Ardant, Emily Mortimor, and many more. (movie trailer here).

Well, now there is going to be an american version, this time focussing on NYC. The concept is the same - 1 director per area in NYC and a handfull of great actors and stories - and it is almost opening in the US. Can't wait to watch this one. (poster below, movie info here and trailer here)

Laughing Matters

I have no ideia who these people are. Apparently, this lack of knowledge is becoming recorrent.

I saw this couple last week in a square is Lisbon, drinking beer and just hanging. They must have been camera shy because everytime I tried to take a picture, the girl would turn her head away from me. This is the best I could do.
I like the picture beacuse he looks really happy. I caught him him the middle of a relatively loud laughter. The colors, well, I am just playing with them.

Knock Knock Knocking on doors

I found these doors somewhere in Lisbon. I honestly don't know where I was at the time. I started walking and following people I tought would make good pictures and, next thing I now, I don't know where I am. I mean, I knew more or less where I would eventually end up, but I am still clueless as to the name of the street.

It reads "Sara, you're a ..." Logic ending to the sentence.

So you never forget your door number.
