I'm Rita, so nice to meet you!

I live in Porto, Portugal with my three awesome cats that you'll see a lot of. I have a degree in Mechanical Enginnering, but do websites on the side. I also spend/waste(?) a lot of my time watching tv shows and movies; and day dreaming of the trips I'll make some day.

In photography, I like: contrast, vignetting, film grain, black & white, vibrant colors, x-pro, honesty.

cameras I use/used: nikon d40, nikon d50, canon eos 3000v, chinon cx, fujifilm finepix s602 Zoom, cybershot p20, cybershot p72, kodak brownie hawkeye, an Holga 120SF, lomo action sampler, lomo frogeye, polaroid i-zone and fujifilm instax.

film: check the tags to see what film i used for a certain photo, all my chinon photos are tagged. for holga shots i usually use fuji film superia 100 and ilford FP4 plus and HP5 plus.

groups: I created 4 flickr groups: one for photos taken with Chinon Cameras, another for the portuguese summer festival Paredes de Coura, another for photos of the annual Medieval Fair In S. Maria da Feira and a new one for photos taken at Rota do Chá, a lovely tea house in Porto.

thank you: Tracy and Ana for the gift pro account subscriptions.

music: I love music. Here's my www.last.fm/user/ritaduarte/ chart for my latest tracks.
