Jardim do Ultramar

There's a park in Lisbon called Jardim do Ultramar. Ultramar means "overseas" and what distinguishes this park from all other parks in Lisbon is that it only has tropical plants.
It was built in 1906 by D.Carlos I, Portugal's last king and was meant to be a centre of research of botanical species brought from the colonies.

shooting a song

I was given the assignment of shooting a song. At first I thought of something by The Kills or The Dead Weather but then I stumbled on Smells Like Teen Spirit sung by Patti Smith.
I fell in love with the song immediately... if before I already thought of it as an anthem for my generation from back in the days when I was growing up and had Kurt Cobain as my top idol and almost as a role model, now that I've discovered this cover I like it even more.
