a common Alfama scene, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

During the times of Moorish domination, Alfama constituted the whole of the city, which later spread to the West (Baixa neighbourhood). Alfama became inhabited by the fishermen and the poor, and its condition as the neighbourhood of the poor continues to this day. The great 1755 Lisbon Earthquake did not destroy the Alfama, which has remained a picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and small squares. Lately the neighbourhood has been invigorated with the renovation of the old houses and new restaurants where Fado - Portuguese typical melancholy music - can be enjoyed....

J'aime beaucoup le format de l'image. Le sujet est bien mis en valeur par ce mur rose. Une image qui raconte une histoire.

One of my tricks - tilting the frame! I would have preferred lingerie to be hanging there but I guess that's for another website! Ha ha!

Hi Daniel
Although I would like to see more of the subjects, as they're a bit cut off, i do love the scene overall.
Also, we dont get to see the peachy colors very often, so thats another huge bonus to the scene.
nice one
cheers

Hello Daniel,

An everyday scene turned into a very graphic composition. The colors and the tilted framing gives it dynamics yet retain some finesse and delicacy, pretty much a good evocaton of that Portuguese melancholy.

Have a nice day,

Emmanuel
