Book of the Week

Dulce Sudor Amargo
by Miguel Rio Branco

Rio Branco handles color photography skillfully, showing a creativity and intentionality that extends beyond merely capturing peculiar objects. This selection catches scenes of daily life in Bahia, Brazil, usually hidden to visitors. (Note: This gallery contains some disturbing images.)

Photography is not entertaining, this is not decoration, this is not advertising. Photography is an emotional thing, a graceful thing. Photography allows me to wander with a purpose.
