Fotografia espontânea (Candid) feita no Bairro Alto Lisboa. Ao passar pela rua do Norte e fazia a foto estas senhoras estavam tão entretidas a comentar uma revista que liam que não deram por mim. O Deus dos fotógrafos estava comigo pois uma delas abriu a boca com tédio à laia de comentário sobre as notícias que ouvia e “fez” a fotografia.

Spontaneous photo (Candid) made in an old neighbourhood (Bairro Alto) of Lisbon. As I was passing by the North Street and made the picture these ladies were so amused to comment a magazine that did not notice me. The God of the photographers was with me as one of them opened his mouth bored by the news she heard… and that "made" the shot.
