Vitorino Nemésio

Vitorino Nemésio, 1908-1978 |
Another photo of hand on face. This one seems somewhat staged, but it reflects a very common action associated with a facial expression ("What was the name of that thing ...? What was I supposed to be doing now...?) The person is a well renowned author and pedagogue, warmly remembered by those who saw his TV show during fascism, and still enjoyed by readers.
Mais para os Portugueses que acompanham este blog, eu moro na Rua Vitorino Nemésio. Não imaginam a quantidade de vezes que ao indicar a minha morada sou confrontado com uma total ignorância sobre o seu nome (algo lamentável). É algo aceitável que nunca tenham lida um seu romance, mas nunca ouvido o seu nome, ao ponto de me perguntarem "Como disse, Menésio?"

Alegre pensa
Manuel Alegre vai reunir com centrais sindicais. Terá muito que pensar. Como é que ele, apoiado pelo PS e BE, se vai posicionar face à UGT, que se juntou à Greve Geral do dia 24 de Novembro convocada pela CGTP? Vai resumir-se a generalidades, ou vai tomar alguma posição consequente?

Please Get rid of this guy
Berlusconi could be having the most beatific thoughts, he still looks like he's conniving and scheming.

MLK, Jr.
After several photos of the Portuguese Prime-Minister, had to stick this one to in to "wash the pallet". MLK, Jr, perhaps reflecting on an upcoming sermon, perhaps just resting his weary head.
Segredinhos
Esta também envolve o Sócrates (com uma careta compenetrada), mas é o seu vizinho que coloca a mão na cara para esconder a boca e silenciar as palavras. Tendo em conta o período da foto, podia ser a mais recente anedota sobre a pseudo-licenciatura do Primeiro Ministro.
Sócrates terá paciência?

Sócrates terá enxaquecas?
Cá está o Sócrates outra vez a apertar a cara. Terá enxaquecas? Não deixam o homem impor as suas políticas, são lhe dão é chatices. Coitado. Tem uma vida desgraçada

Hand on Face revival
This photo blog has rested on a few select themes. A prominent one recently has been different forms of street art, creative forms of decorating an otherwise decaying, bleak city, whose color comes more from obnoxious publicity that art. These photos have been my tribute to this art form and their artists.
Another theme, not so developed lately, has been photos of people touching their faces (or heads) with their hands somehow. Some years back I started noticing the frequency of such photos in the newspapers and became intrigued. I also found them extremely expressive. I then became amazed by the number of different forms humans have of touching our heads, and how each conveys some sort of significance. So I started collecting. I collected dozens before the digital age, so many of the are still in the form of newspaper clippings. I just found several logged within a large atlas, which prompted me to scan a few and continue with this theme that fascinates me. This one in particular, of a baby sucking his hand, certainly holds keys as to the significance of touching our faces: a primal form of self soothing .
