Photos from Feira de Santana


I took this picture in downtown Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. His name is Nenen who supports his "Rasta" lifestyle selling homemade bracelets, necklaces and other small things on the street. He has a shinny metal tooth thats easy to see when he laughs or smiles.

We spent some time with Ze das Congas, a man who teaches traditional african drum music in a small school for children who come from neighborhoods with heavy drug traffic. Several of the children followed us around the entire time we were there, we had a good time talking to them. This is one who was watching us put our film equipment away.

One of the first people we spoke with in feira at the Centro de Abastecimento. He was friendly and didn't realize I had my camera on him.


This young woman sells meat with her family. At the moment this picture was taken, she was talking to Murillo about how she studies when she has time so she can finish highschool.
