Brighton

2010-02-08T13:42:00.000-08:00

I can't remember what I did yesterday.

...except for expending money at Camden Town...hmm.

Anyways, I'm awake since 5am. I woke up out of nowhere, went to the bathroom, and when I came back one of my roommates was snoring really loud and so, I stayed in bed until around 6h30am, when I finally gave up and decided to go for a walk.

Oxford Street before 7am! OMG!
I was actually able to kneel down on one knee in the middle of the street, to shoe my laces, without worrying if someone was going to stumble on me.

EMPTY STREET IS EMPTY GUYS!

I also had decided that today I was going to spend the day at Brighton and so I did, I catch the bus at 10am and around noon I was there.

And it snowed! For the first time in my life I saw real snow!I had to go to the south of England to see some real snow!

How great!

Oh! And I also tried some fish and chips...Blergh.
And I wanted to use my film camera...but I guess I forgot it (for the first time ever!) which can be a big accomplishment to me! And I used my 200mm lenses all day too...that may say a lot of the pictures taken today...

AND MOM!! I TOTALLY SPENT LOADS OF MONEY GAMBLING TODAY!!

no spendin' cash

"THIS WAY TO THE END OF THE PIER" - yeah right, so you can spend all your money and jump from the top of the pier and kill yourself. How thoughtful.

Something was happening to the house he was standing in front of, there was two firetrucks but they didn't stay for long. I have no idea....

how I managed to stay awake? http://www.relentlessenergy.com/pages/energyshot big fan! ahahah. that thing is really small!

Let's have a break.

Last day of workshop.
Hmm, so, first day we went to Soho, 2nd day we went to Covent Garden, 3rd day we walked around Oxford Street making portraits of strangers and today we just went outside for a bit, we stayed in Oxford Street, to play a bit with second-curtain flash.

Last night I went to bed at 3am. At 4am I was almost falling asleep when my roommate decided to wake the fuck up, turn on the light, slamming doors and talking to herself. So....yeah, fucked up night.

Since I arrived here that I notice she's really religious and I wanted to do something. Today I managed to do it.

see you all in hell!

Today I slept, I went downstairs to Starbucks and I came upstairs again.

Then I went to the workshop.

And now I is in the internetz. "Shakin' ma fish".

Resumindo: Não fiz cú.

KTHXBAI.

...and that's what I remember from the play Dx

OMG, so I'm in London for 11 days to do a Photojournalism Workshop and one of the assignments was to go to a film premier. Since that was like impossible, if we could manage to take a picture of a celebrity would be nice too.

So, today morning, I was feeling pretty blue because I still didn't had nothing to show at the workshop when I look up and I was standing in front of the Comedy Theatre and there was a play with Damian Lewis and Keira Knightley (The Misanthrope, Martin Crimp version of the Molière's). And since I didn't had nothing to do I decided to go. I spend 30£ on a ticket (which for me is pretty expensive) and I went to the Matinee.

At the end of the play I remembered the assignment and I stood for a couple of minutes in front of the Stage Door. But a couple of minutes after, the security guard said, she, Keira, would only get out at 21h30 more less. And we (other fans were there) should go back at around 21h to get a good place. And so I did.

After around 40m waiting, freezing as hell, she got out. It was quick as shit. But I manage to get an autograph for a friend of mine, Marina, and to take pictures. Even though it was too dark (I used ISO 1600) I could manage to edited them (I took the pictures in RAW).

And since I was waiting for 40 minutes, freezing, I might as well get some more autographs...So now that I did this assignment I'm feeling pretty relieved and excited at the same time. Let's see how the other ones go.

Oh! And a guy was arrested minutes after Keira appeared. Probably a waaaay to obsessed fan. Dunno...

Sometimes I use some slang words. You may wanna check them here: www.urbandictionary.com
but don't get to excited about it or you'll go ballistic! fo shizzle!

Fuck the Gap

Today I was feeling way to anxious/nervous so I only got out of the room it was almost 2pm I took a bus to King's Cross and on my way there I saw the British Library and I knew I had to stop there. The place got me dumbstroke and speechless as I got in. It has an exhibition that I wanted to see, "Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs" but I decided not to go, at least...not yet. And I didn't stayed for long, I had to go back to my room and prepare my stuff to the first day of the Photojournalism Workshop.

The first day of workshop, damn, I never thought it would get me so excited! We are in total 6 persons there, and no one is from the UK. It's me from Portugal, two guys from Mexico City, one from Brazil, one from the Netherlands and a girl from South Africa. Oh, and the teacher is from Cyprus!

The first assignment was to go Soho for an hour. Soho is full of sex shops and gay bars. Colorful neon lights and strip shows.

Meh, I'm tired. But I had an awesome time.

this guy let me have his picture. He was in front of a strip club thingie but he didn't let me take pictures that showed anything from the club.

And that was that. No actually a load of stuff happened. But yeah. I is no good in engrish me is going to shud up and go to bedz. KTHXBAI. XOXOXOXOXo

I Will Survive

2010-01-31T10:02:00.000-08:00

...if a person can survive from tap water, chewing gum and expired cookies*, HELL YEAH I'M GOING TO SURVIVE!

Anyway...yesterday I got to meet Isabel (www.lisf.deviantart.com) and spend almost the entire day with her. We went to almost every comic book store we passed by, she gave me suggestions on where to buy the cheapest stuff and taught me how to ride the buses, let me have a pick on her sketchbook and, before we had to say goodbye, we went to Camden Town!

There she is:

*I was joking about the cookies, I have no cookies. No, I lied again, I do have cookies. Who cares?

It seems that last night snowed a bit, but I totally missed it...

these packs of 10 are so adorable...oh, I'm gonna go broke real soon aren't I?

And since this whole travel was paid by me, I am in the cheapest place I could find. It's quite good actually. The view from the room:

we can see a bit of the London Eye on the top left and FYI the magazines are not mine but from one of my roommates...

And today I spend the day in Notting Hill...

Raquel! Look what I found for youuuuu :'D
