João Faustino's photostream

I'm portuguese, living in Lisbon, Portugal. But i can say that my heart lives in Portimão, in the Algarve, the region where i spent my childhood, and land that i'm passionate for...You will see a lot of pictures from here.
I'm also new on photography. Bought this Canon EOS 40D and i'm currently trying to learn something about it. So, any sugestions or tips are welcome, feel free to coment my photos!

If you want to know more about me and things i like, what can i say...

About me…

Balance is basic! A little bit of everything in the right time and in the right measure!
I like the small things, noticing details, the simple things that can be the most important. I love the Sea, i love to watch a sunset with the right company, of walking under rain when i need to refresh my ideas, surfing with friends or alone if need to think. I Like to see a lightning, feel a storm, to observe the sea. It doesn't matter if it is calm, tempestuous, blue, green or gray…Whatever!! I just love the Sea...
I love having my face salty, feel the beating of my heart when i know i'm going to get smashed by a 2 or 3 meter wave in my head, i like the adrenalin, feelling scared, having my ridicule ten that i get because of my wetsuit. I like to listen to the wind passing through the windows, to listen to the rain...
I like cars, speed, cinema and music of all kinds, i love a recently made bed!
I love to listen to the waves (the most beautiful music EVER!), listening to the gulls, watching a fishing boat arriving. I love to take a bath at the sea and take my swimming suit off.
I love my photo camera, photographing a face, a female body, a situation, a land scape or a rainbow. I like to photograph who doesn't know that's being photographed.
I love to have a drink with my friends, a really cold beer or getting a bottle of whiskey in my mouth like a cowboy would do. I like to hang out and have fun. I like to laugh, a lot!! I like to cry when i need and the times i need! with any shame of it...I like to kiss a woman, starting on her neck and ending with a really small bite on her ear. I love passion and romance!
I like attention, i like my friends, my family, i like to walk on the beach, alone or not, it depends... I love to surf on dangerous places. I like to have time for me and for everything. I like the esplanades, bars, coffee shops, walking on the road. I love my bodyboard, my loyal friend...I love to finish a bodyboarding session with my friends and just stay talking till the sun sets.
I love to travel, knowing different cultures...I love to meet new people and making new friends. I like to help whenever i can and i like to be helped, everybody needs it!
And this is just a small list of the small thing i like...They're the most important, they're the ones that give life to our lifes...
