Photographer’s Note

Portugal, Lisboa, october 7, 2009.
Students of Visual Arts during their Bacchenalia.
For more informations, see two last posts where I posted 2 first verses of international student's hymn, in latin and in english.

Here you are the thirst verse :

Vita nostra brevis est
Brevi finietur.
Venit mors velociter
Rapit nos atrociter
Nemini parcetur.

Our life is brief
It will be finished shortly.
Death comes quickly
Atrociously, it snatches us away.
No one is spared

znów bardzo fajne... ale uwaga, żeby nie "przedobrzyć" z serią.... ileż w końcu można oglądać kolejnych twarzy takich samych lub podobnych?....

uważaj na siebie, grażka!

Też bardzo dobre.
Pierwsze było zaskoczeniem, drugie wyrafinowaniem, a to jest jak trzeba - z głównym bohaterem, z otoczeniem... no i z sangrią ;))
Pozdrówka i maila obiecuję T.

Bonsoir Grazyna
Vraiment une très belle série sur ces jeunes avec cet hymne à la jeunesse.
Un très bon cadrage et tu as su parfaitement saisir les expressions un peu alcoolisées de ces jeunes gens.
Bonne soirée.
Pierre.

Another scene well captured with special expressions and from an original low angle.

Hello Grazyna.
great approach to what we call here "recepção ao caloiro or in english rececption to the freshman".
A lot of crazyness seems to be happening and you were right in its middle :)
There is a lot of academic tradition here in Portugal, and strangelly or not, the one n Lisboa isn't the strongest, in cities like Coimbra or Porto it feels even stronger.
Specially in the first week of May were there takes place in Porto, all the years, "a queima das fitas" with lots of events during the whole week but also a lot of alcohol is drank, which doesn't leed most of the times to good results:).

You caught well the crazy atmosphere which is lived on this student parties/events, but it's also a way they found to integrate those who arrive from school and weren't used to such a big world which is getting into university.

Cheers.
Paulo

Hi Grazyna.

Splendid work with an amazing POV and a very nice composition and exposure.
The black and white was great too.

Regards.

Hi Grazyna.
Great capture of these revellers. Your images of people are so vivid and natural and well captured. Great timing and expressions.
Regards and keep up the great work,

LOLLOL!
How did you make them so "agitated"?
We have a saying in Turkish which can be translated as: "you have the devil's hair" (which means that you are an attractive person)
A bombastic serie!
