All of these were unfortunately taken with my Android phone. I spent most of spring break in Lisbon, Portugal but did not bring my camera since I was afraid it might get stolen. Even with my phone, it was difficult to get good shots because if I stood still for too long, I ran the risk of being approached by yet another man selling cheap sunglasses or drugs. I just hope that the vibrancy of the city can speak for itself through these images despite the circumstances.
This was taken on campus the night before spring break. I had to take a photo because it seemed to sum up “spring in Maine” so well.
Here I tried to capture the mood in the moments just after a rain shower in downtown Lisbon.
Walking along the waterfront by the Tagus River. It’s now difficult to take a photo without thinking about the rule of thirds.
Very colorful government buildings on the waterfront, and a stark contrast to the first photo in this gallery.
Praça do Comércio in Lisbon. Full of tourists even on a Monday morning.
Rossio Station. I haven’t done much night photography but it’s definitely something I want to work on.
