AlphaAlpha

I’m very excited to be part of Regina Pinto’s AlphaAlpha project, which includes the work of several talented artists  (my contribution is “Nossa Senhora do A”).

I’ve posted lots of photos that I’ve taken in the last few decades – most of them in Bahia – at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brinka/

FrenchMottershead’s SHOPS project

FrenchMottershead visited Bahia from January 7th to 27th to work on SHOPS, “an ongoing, international photographic project, uncovering communities formed by independent, local traders”. I worked with them as a writer/observer/cultural consultant and am currently writing an essay on that experience for the book they will publish in 2009. Here is their blog on the project so far: shopsproject.blogspot.com

Yemanjá Festival on Itaparica

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a very special Yemanjá Festival in Barra Grande, on the island of Itaparica. This year, February 3rd fell during Carnival, so the festivities were significantly reduced. Even so, they were beautiful and deeply moving. Here are some of the photos I thought best captured the event (just click on the photo to see the slideshow).
