Manifestation outside of the portuguese parliament 2012. People are angry about austerity measures cripplind social and economic freedoms. The austerity measures are imposed by the Troika, (IMF, European Central bank, EU). The people of Portugal (like many others) are paying for the mistakes (or careful calculations) of the central banking system.
I decided to pick my camera up again and start walking the streets, I walked about for 20 mins, I only took 4 pictures. This was the first one. I struggle each and every day with my understanding of life and purpose, when I walk with my camera I no longer have this struggle, I start to see life.
While walking to do some work this morning, I couldnt help but notice this beautiful scene. A rummage around in my rucksank was all i needed to capture this.
Taken on new years day 2013, while walking home with my beautiful girlfriend. The street light illumanated the hearts drawn on the back of a parked car.
