_From the team at the Musee de l’Elysee_

p. Received a mail a couple of days ago from the “We Are All Photographers”:http://www.allphotographersnow.ch/index.php project of the Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne.

In it were 3 webcam shots of the 3 photos I submitted and that got displayed on the installation:

Go ahead and participate too!

To inaugurate this blog/portfolio what could be better than a second place in a contest! Not much actually… except perhaps having your photos displayed on a “swiss museum”:http://www.allphotographersnow.ch/index.php, but that’s on a different post.

The winning poster will get to be the one of 2007 Oporto’s Noites da Queima, (lit. Nights of the Burning) a whole week of live concerts during Queima das Fitas (lit. Burning of the Ribbons, learn about it “here”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queima_das_Fitas).

Anyway, “check the winner”:http://www.fap.pt/index.php?Pagb=cartaz2007&ch_site=queima out (and the 3rd place, also won by the numero uno guy), page in portuguese. And, if you’re portuguese or able to understand it, take a peek at my radio “interview”:http://jpr.icicom.up.pt/2007/02/cartaz_da_queima_2007_ja_tem_cara.html on a local radio.

And now for something completely different:
O mais curioso é que os 3 primeiros prémios foram ganhos por estudantes de engenharia… Sempre achei que dos 68 cartazes a concurso o pessoal de Belas Artes e família fosse concorrência séria. Das duas uma, ou ninguém concorreu, ou são muito fraquinhos…
