Photographer’s Note

This is Armindo, an angolan student who I found 'lost' in Brazil.
I've forgot the good sense of humour the africans have.when I asked him- what's was his name?
-he said Jack
-but that's an english name, I said
-yeah, I know my real name is Armindo, but I prefer Jack
than he asked me
-can I study here?
-yes; I said
he was talking about my workshop
so he stayed in my workshop, for few days
one day he said to my wife;-feel free to do whatever you want to do.
he was trying to say don't disturb me.
she tryied hard to hold the laugh.

we forgot how informal some cultures are, and I really like the way the africans do.speccially because they laugh about everything.
