About
My name is Gonçalo Rosas and I'm a Trainee Lawyer living in Lisbon, Portugal. Photography is a hobby for me. I started to photograph when I bought my first SLR (Canon EOS 5) with my first salary. I have learned some things since then by myself, but also visiting some blogs. That's why I created this blog. Welcome and comment.Contact

The idea was borned when I read this history: «Era uma vez um pintor que tinha um aquário com um peixe vermelho. Vivia o peixe tranquilamente acompanhado pela sua cor vermelha até que principiou a tornar-se negro a partir de dentro, um nó preto atrás de uma cor encarnada. O nó desenvolvia-se alastrando e tomando conta de todo o peixe. Por fora do aquário o pintor assistia surpreendido ao aparecimento do novo peixe. O problema do artista era que, obrigado a interromper o quadro, onde estava a chegar o vermelho do peixe, não sabia que fazer da cor preta que ele agora lhe ensinava. Os elementos do problema constituíam-se na observação dos factos e punham-se por esta ordem: peixe, vermelho, pintor - sendo o vermelho o nexo entre o peixe e o quadro através do pintor. O preto formava a insídia do real e abria um abismo na primitiva fidelidade do pintor. Ao meditar sobre as razões da mudança exactamente que assentava na sua fidelidade, o pintor supôs que o peixe, efectuando um número de mágica, mostrava que existia apenas uma lei abrangendo tanto o mundo das coisas, como o da imaginação. Era a lei da metamorfose. Compreendida esta espécie de fidelidade, o artista pintou o peixe amarelo.»Once upon a time, there was a painter who had a tank with a red fish. Lived the fish peacefully together with its red color until it started to become black from the inside, a black node behind a red color. The node developed spreading and seized all the fish. Outside the aquarium the painter watched surprised the emergence of the new fish. The problem of the artist was that, forced to interrupt the painting, where the red of the fish was coming closer, he did not know what to do with the black color it was now teaching him. The elements of the problem were based on the observation of the facts and put into this order: fish, red, painter - the red being the link between the fish and the painting through the painter. The black formed the treachery of the real and opened an abyss in the painter's primitive fidelity. By meditating on the reasons of the change exactly that was based on his fidelity, the painter assumed that the fish, making a magic trick, showed that there is only one law covering both the world of things, and the imagination. It was the law of metamorphosis. Understood this kind of loyalty, the artist painted the fish yellow. (free translation)
