Farewell
This is one of the seven photos that will be in an exhibition on Santiago do Cacém. Some of the photos were created to honor Manuel da Fonseca (writer 15.10.1911 - 11.03.1993). Today I finished my work (this work is a colaboration with my husband, he shot this picture, for instance, and we did almost everything together). So I finished right on time. Today is the aniversary of his death, and I should say that I loved to read some of his books, like the one wich inspired me to do this picture: Fogo e cinzas (Fire and ashes). The book tells the story of a man who abandoned his fiance. Her house caught fire and a friend of this man, a fireman, rescued her from inside the house. When they got outside, everyone saw that she was in her nightdress. It was a huge shame for him, and he couldn't marry her anymore.
So you can see... what a diferent time we live in right now.
