new work from portugal
South and Central Portugal (2010)
This past fall I took a break from New York to visit Portugal for the first time. My trip took me through the cobble stones streets of Lisbon, fishing towns near the cliffs of Palmela and Coimbra, home to Europe’s second oldest university. I don’t regard these images as a concise project but more of a collection of work from a time and place, just making the photos that pull me in.
Sitting on the southwestern edge of Europe, Portugal felt a bit more authentic and untouched then the more popular European destinations. If you ever have a chance to visit, you should jump at the opportunity. Below are a few snapshots from the road, hope you enjoy.
Some of these images are stark, some solemn and some revealing…all are riveting - Geordie has moved me once again.
