I made a very short film...

I was wearing my pyjamas, the sunset was beautiful and I just got out of my house with my camera in my hand and start to shoot, no intention or 'prior conceptions'... 

Basically, I had no idea what to do, just went for it. I set my camera with a timer and multiple shoots and one time.

Following the serie of hands, a sequence of photos taken during an experiment trying to get something else but this was the result, resulting a sequence of pictures where the primal highlight are hands, gestures. Serie II, on video.

New photographic serie, about hands.
This serie appeared after a failed attempted to photograph an posture with timer and zoom.
From the failure a new serie appears where my hands have full highlight, totally by chance...
No filter or retouch.

I also made a small video of this first serie.

I want to introduce you Miss Dora aka Miss Doris.
She is the newest member of my family and now I feel my home is complete!

Dora was found last Saturday near Sesimbra wondering around, very weak and unable to stand up.

She was taken to Bianca shelter and the next day I saw her. I immediately knew she was perfect to my house.

Dora needs daily care, meds, etc., but her biggest issue is she was starving. She is an old female cat with sight problems and she was unable to survive on the streets and I'm pretty sure she would die soon if not catch.

Luckily the blood tests were fine, so 2 days later she went to my house, where she will have love, care and a warm bed to sleep.

She loves coddles and being on my lap, even sleeps next to me and grabs my arm and purr a lot! She is so cute...
I've no idea how long she will be among us due to her advance age, sight problems but as long she is alive she will have all the love and comfort I can give!

Ain't she cute?

I'm perfectly aware that my technique is (yet) raw and the final works are never the exact idea I had in mind... I know nobody knows my original idea but I do...
Nevertheless and without cursing my own work, I know the final result is not perfect and - maybe - 75% around of what I wanted.

Nevertheless, I'm satisfied and to be realistic - for whom started to work with clay a few months - obviously I can not expect to have perfect results, although I'm perfectionist.
I've to accept this flaws and try to improve the creative process.

I know... this idea is a bit crazy and is once again octopus, but lets face it, octopus are great right?

And enjoy the rest of your day!
