Carnaval is the most popular party in Brazil. Usually 3 to 4 months before it (it usually occurs by the end of frebruary), there are a lot already going on in Rio. Rehearsal of school of samba in local courts (usually inside of Rio's famous favelas) where anyone can go, carnaval blocks (small schools of samba) have small parades in those months before carnaval.

Here, scenes taken of Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel on saturday in the public square.

Photography trip to Paqueta.

Series of shots of "ambulantes", people who carry their goods and sell on the streets. Very common in Brazil and specially in Rio's beaches.

Usually very simple people, very friendly and fun.

Being an habitant of Rio de Janeiro, a "Carioca", I will try to depict scenes from daily life of Rio. Both the touristic scenes as well, shots from our day-to-day.
