O (meu) menino tentando captar os ventos auspiciosos com o seu moinho de vento de ano novo chinês. Como por aqui se diz, "kung hei fat choi"!

My picture published today on the Macau Daily Times:

A road traffic police officer watches calmly as Hanoi’s hectic flow of motorbikes passes by him. “Anyone who has traveled to the Vietnamese capital knows that the seemingly chaotic sea of motorbikes can be quite a challenge, particularly if you try making your way around town on foot,” The Diplomat magazine pointed out. The traffic woes are worsened by the almost complete lack of public transportation in Vietnam’s capital.

A glimpse of the world

THE World Press Photo (WPP) exhibition is back in town, having opened on Saturday in Casa Garden. It is a world class exhibition that is featured all over the globe and which has become a regular feature in Macau since the organizers Casa de Portugal (with Macau Foundation support) signed an agreement in 2009 with the World Press Photo Foundation to bring the event here.
It is a pity however that the exhibition has not yet become part of the cultural habits of the local public. When I visited yesterday, only a few photojournalism lovers were at Casa Garden, despite the large crowd that gathered in the neighboring Ruins of St. Paul’s. Maybe a larger promotion effort needs to be done by the organizers, because it hurts to see almost no attendance at an event that gathers such crowds in other places. I saw previous WPP editions in well-attended exhibitions held in Lisbon (initially at the Belém Cultural Center and later at the Electricity Museum) and at the emblematic Oude Kerk in Amsterdam.
