Reflection of Almirante Reis Avenue, and people passing by and watching the storefront. This photo is part of an one week reportage on Portuguese Daily Life, between Dec 17 and Dec 21, 2012, on the year that the austerity measures set by the Portuguese Government to achieve the goals set by the Troika (IMF, ECB, EC) for the Portuguese Bailout Package, result in the highest unemployment rates ever since the beginning of Portuguese Democracy (1974) and poverty starts to show on the former middle class families.<br />

  • Aspect of Avenida Estados Unidos da América, one of the major Lisbon avenues, once very busy  in a normal afternoon of a week day like this. This photograph is part of a body of work about Lisbon, feelings, affections and loneliness. Is about a city depressed by the crisis, but even so, tolerant and cosmopolitan.
