O Que Foi Nao Volta Ser… Macao Past and Present with Gonçalo Lobo Pinheiro

Posted: May 9th, 2023 | No Comments »

An interesting new book of photographs from Macao-based photo-journalist Gonçalo Lobo Pinheiro. O Que Foi Nao Volta Ser… (or What Was Doesn’t Come Back to Be), a project carried out between November 2021 and November 2022 that involves placing old photographs of Macau, taken in black and white between the 1930s and 1990s, in the same places today. The original images, many captured by unknown authors, are part of Gonçalo’s personal collection of old photographs, acquired in auctions and antique houses.

Copies are available his website (here) as well as Livraria Portuguesa bookstore in Macao…
