egoistically
my mind takes refuge in old age

at the end of life
the idea of health
comfort
and happiness enough
turns into a mere
day-to-day expectation

still breathing
and hoping it's not the last

///

egoisticamente
meu pensamento refugia-se na velhice

no fim da vida
a ideia de saúde
conforto
e felicidade que baste
transforma-se em mera expectativa
do dia-a-dia

respirar ainda
e desejar que não seja o último

Hello

I was playing with a special cinema lens that I had adapted to my Nikon. The Isco Cinelux 50/1.6, made for professional film projection, turned my small kitchen into a night‑time film set. Late at night, with only the warm lights on, the triple‑glazed window acted like a complicated mirror, stacking reflections of me and the room into one glowing image. The lens turned those reflections into soft circles and swirls of light, so the scene felt half real and half like a dream. Each photo looked less like a simple snapshot and more like a frame from an unknown movie. In the end I sold the lens, but the buyer only wanted the glass, not my homemade adapter. Letting it go left me slightly sad, as if I had taken apart a private experiment in night‑time cinema. I hope he found his own way to use it well.

Way of travelling here

A very authentic scene of cramped local transport in Northern Thailand on the road to Mae Salong, with people packed into a songthaew or small minibus — a village perched high on Doi Mae Salong ridge, near the Myanmar border, whose access roads were little more than mountain tracks barely paved in time for vehicles to replace pack horses.

In 2012, the minibus service ran only until early afternoon and public transport remained notoriously sparse, leaving hill tribe communities — Akha, Lahu, Lisu, and the Chinese descendants of KMT soldiers — with no real alternative to squeezing into whatever shared truck happened to be making the climb.

Coffee picking

Mae Salong (Santikhiri) in northern Thailand was once a Kuomintang stronghold that depended heavily on opium, but from the 1970s the Thai state and royal projects pushed a shift toward legal highland crops. Today the area is known for high‑mountain Arabica coffee grown alongside oolong tea and temperate fruits at around 1 200–1 400 m, where the cool, humid climate suits these crops.

Coffee is farmed mainly by smallholders, usually in mixed agroforestry plots with fruit or timber trees that provide shade, protect the steep slopes, and give families additional income sources. The plantings are all Arabica, using locally adapted varieties that cope well with the altitude and local diseases. Farmers hand‑pick only fully ripe cherries and usually use washed processing, which yields clean, bright coffees with medium body and flavors often described as cherry, cocoa, dark chocolate, citrus, and sugarcane.

Mae Salong coffee is often sold as a single‑origin, light‑to‑medium roast that showcases the character of the place rather than heavy roast notes. Coffee now sits alongside tea and Chinese‑heritage tourism as a pillar of the local, post‑opium highland economy.
