O Lambe-lambe: O fotógrafo de jardim

Abstrakt

In searching for themes of which background is image, we took a suich look at the beautiful landscapes of our city. We then focused the figure of the one who makes images by taking pictures: the old fashioned photographer so called "lambe-lambe" who stands at squares and gardens of the city. Very well known by the public, he enjoys a lot of popularity and little or no recognition. He is part of the photography history. In order to picture him, we have selected a typical square named Saens Peña, located In Tijuca, a very distinct district, the only district where its inhabitants have their own designation. The people who were born in Rio and live in Tijuca are named both “cariocas" and "tijucanos".
