about photography
"The dismal half-baked images of the average "reportage" and "documentary" photography are self damning... the slick manner, the slightly obscure significance, the esoteric fear of simple beauty for its own sake – I am deeply concerned with these manifestations of decay. Gene Smith's work validates my most vigorous convictions that if the documentary photographs is to be truly effective it must contain elements of art, intensity, fine craft and spirituality. All these his work contains and we may turn to his work with gratitude, appreciation and great respect."
- Ansel Adams

about photography
"There's no particular class of photograph that I think is any better than any other class. I'm always and forever looking for the image that has spirit! I don't give a damn how it got made."
- Minor White, Interviews With Master Photographers : Minor White, Imogen Cunningham, Cornell Capa, Elliott Erwitt, Yousuf Karsh, Arnold Newman, Lord Snowdon, Brett Weston by James Danziger

Os Sem Nome - picture of Portugal today
This exhibition is based in a research regarding new ways of thinking science fiction which we live between artistic production democratized by new technologies and curatorial research.
Photographers that share images in the flickr internet network and who virtually meet in a globalized context sharing local images of a country that one might recognize as being Portugal.
Exhibition of photographic images in digital forma of ways of look: roads, people at cafes, loves, cars, abandoned factories with sea and sky always present.
The territory we draw today doesn’t bring borders, but an enlightenment that distinguishes itself from other geographies;
Authors without first name, without signature, the work of art to be found within an invented name and real as the fiction which we live in our day by day between facebooks and video-conferences;
This is the portrait of a country who thinks its Present from a distance, with the clarity that this doesn’t allow to have. We don’t sign a collective story, but we keep in a virtual memory, the images that we built through our passage by a real territory.
Os Sem Nome are all of us, but their portrait still might be unknown to us.

about photography
"To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be a source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and self. The painters have done little to dispel the impression of their superiority in the creative graphic fields; they point with scorn (and often correctly) to the shallow "storytelling" aspects of photography, and they also disapprove of photographers who attempt superficial "abstract" or "no-objective" effects within the limits of photographic processes. To a large majority a photograph bears the same relationship to a fine painting as a contractor-designed house does to a fine architectural creation. This situation would be ridiculous were it not so tragic. The truth is that photography is limited only by the photographers!"
