Hi all

First of all thanks to all who kept following the website / facebook / Flickr page.
The activity have been really low or no pictures have been updated for a long time... but after celebrating Marta's birthday in Rome, the passion for photography was reborn.
Daily (for the next few days) updates will be available and your challenges are always welcome.

Thank you all again and I hope I can count with challenges from you. I'll keep updating with the recent and old material available to show you all

That's right!
I haven't finished the request from Brussels and I'm opening already a discussion about Lisbon :-)
I'll be in Portugal from the 8th to the 22nd of July.
So you have a month to challenge me with your ideas, requests and challenges.
Just post your challenges in the discussion board (in Facebook) and I'll be happy to picture whatever you ask me about Lisbon. If you are not in facebook, just send me a email (askmepictures@gmail.com)
Be creative, be demanding, be yourself and be curious. I'll love to take the pictures you want and sent you for free the final result!

I'm curious to know what you'll like to see from Lisbon!
And I promisse to finish all previous requests before the 14th of June!

And thanks to all who follow this website and to who challenge me!

Sunny day at Dublin...

Sun, 24 May 2009 13:35:11 +0100

Hi all who follows the blog :-) Maybe my mother and girlfriend :-)

I planned to do as much as I could for the development of the webpage this weekend, but something really great happen: it's a sunny day at Dublin and I'm not staying at home today... at least during the afternoon :-)

So I'll start a new project, called "Dublin request"... if there's any request, start send me by email or facebook and I'll try to make your wish come true :-)

So, it's time to enjoy some natural light outside and later I promisse to do something for the website!

Thanks to all who have requested pictures and follow this my new project.

Back from Brussels...

Tue, 19 May 2009 12:29:26 +0100

...and now loads of work to upload images and update the website!

What a lovely weekend at Brussels... Almost all requests have been pictured, except the one request by Victor (fountain of chocolate with a strawberry at the top). I'll send another postcard anyway...

I'll process the pictures this week, create the postcards and all of you can have a look of the postcard in the web by the end of this week. After that, I'll print them and send them to all who made the requests. It's good to be back to Dublin, and more projects will be available soon... Hope you can join us for the next activities.

Next step... Brussels

Hi all
Some friends of mine already know about this project... and aparently they liked!
Now, what's next?

1 - Some friends they going to release an album, so maybe I'll do the pictures for the cd;
2 - Another friend of mine is writing a book for children, and she requested me to do the pictures for the book;
3 - Two DJ's sets of PTconection at Radio City Hall (pictures available soon in this website);
4 - Going to Belgium, Brussels this weekend.

And here's the main point. Is there anything you want to see from Brussels? Any "postcard" made by me, any special place, statue, food, beer, pub, street, memory... feel free to send me an email with your request. Going on the May 15th coming back on the May 17th.... so be quick and be gentle... because it's only two days in Brussels...

Hope I receive some challenges before I leave... if not, I will have to make my own choices and post them in the website.
Thanks to everybody who had already a look at the website and hope I'll receive some challenges soon.
