[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
People like this girl has to find ways to make a living with dignity. It doesn't matter how, but a straight work is always noble, whatever it is. Brazil is full of temptations, wrong, misleading and unhonest ways, but still, the hardest is one's life, and they remain on good principles, I pay all my respect and admiration. To be poor isn't a shame, instead, having bad morals, is definetely wrong, despite of one's birth social place. This lady, I respect a lot more than some people I know. She collects old boxes to get some money at recycling companies.

This has a photojournalist quality about it. Poor woman, I'm proud she is not poor in that which counts. Good frame. I hope you gave her something for shooting her picture.

a foto esta extraordinaria, Bruno.
Seus textos e suas fotos....incrivel que você ainda nao contactou uma revista !!
Preguiça ? ou prcisa de um agente ?..haha

The poverty is a big social problem. The point is that people like this one work very hard and honestly daily but they can't broke the poverty chain.
Your picture reflects very well the description that you gave us in your note. The colors are very clear.

You took a picture that some people would have made a funny comment about and turned it into a very informative and social issued shot with a touching note. Very well seen and captured. Great job.

Hi Bruno!

Another good shot from you. You gave face to humanity. Nice tight crop to fill the frame . Great colors.

Just came back from the Philippines a week ago. My people are still that passionate and even more musical. I'll miss home.
