Back to real life week, with plenty of rest, and some leftover disease.

• 🗳 That was an intense month! Ended on Sunday on a very sad note, as the far-right got a lot more votes than I expected, and the socialists are no longer the ruling party. We’re a month away from the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April Revolution, and we now have close to 50 fascists in the parliament. Fuck that!

• 📷 It felt like I was actually working again, and not just shooting the things that have become my normal. It felt great to meet the old colleagues, and laugh and bitch, as we did before. I missed them, and I do miss this life more than I care to admit most of the time. I did enjoy having the camera on me all the time, and shooting with it whenever I felt a photo was there.

• ⚖️ Lost 3kg in a month, even with all the beer, and food we had. Maybe we should have an election every couple of months, after all.

• 🍰 Had a birthday. The 53rd! It was the worst birthday ever. Working, with a cold, and pretty shitty altogether.

• 🥰 tinyMovieStar is walking around town with her school buddies and teachers. Going to museums, and the theater. On foot. Just a year ago they were going on a bus, to places closer than they walk to now. Also, her fashion sense, her three-year-old fashion sense, dictating clothing changes because the “hat would look better with overalls”. She’s awesome. I know I’ve said this before, but I have to contain myself, or I’d be putting this on every single weekly update.

• 🏃‍♂️ Starting a new, short, assignment. The Marathon Weekend is upon us, so it’s time to go shoot that for one of the sponsors. Photos will surely make their way to the blog.

• 📺 Tokyo Vice, drip drip drip. Shōgun, great!

• 🌈 One a Month Club, a really cool idea from Jarrod. Not expecting a lot, as the past years have shown me I should keep my expectations very low, but it is a really nice idea. Feel free to visit the page, and pick one of the members to sponsor. €1 a month. It’s not a lot.
