An image to make us think... what more can ask for from photojournalism?

Great job with the B&W tones and composition. Truely natural expressions, un-posed.

You have a very interesting portfolio Leo. Very diverse!

Léo, essa é uma das mais impressionantes imagens que ví neste site. Muito embora os retratos de pessoas desfavorecidas tenham se tornado tristemente comuns entre os pretensos fotógrafos que vêmos por aí, essa imagem é de uma beleza incrível. A expressão no rosto marcado, a diagonal que leva o espectador até esse rosto, o tom dramático de cinza faz dessa imagem bela e clássica e à um mesmo tempo atual e atemporal.

Parabéns.

A poignant image. I like the contrast in expressions between the individual in the foreground and the 2nd fellow behind him. It's certainly a gritty image of life on the streets (although in all honesty I've never had to do it myself).

Certainly, happiness is somewhat relative. I take if you've almost faced death, you almost learn to appreciate the little things which we take for granted. Still, I imagine the bottle which the 2nd gentleman from the front is holding isn't lemonade either, and that can help pass the time and perhaps dull the misery.

Excelente fotografía Leonardo, a mi tambien me gustan las fotos callejeras, solo tengo una pregunta para ti... ¿como te acercaste tanto a esta gente? ellos generalmente son muy cerrados con los fotografos.

Mira mi otra pagina web, estan mas organizadas

Dear Leonardo

Tami and I are so taken by your two recent entries, "Sad [??] World" I & II

We are left with an emotional sense of sadness, hopelessness, and unfortunately pity for this group of destitute men captured so sensitively with the genius of your lens.

How can the world still be home for such poverty and desparate lonliness? Perhaps we have not advanced as far as our impudent attitudes have taken us? We think not.

A brilliant photographic statement of the realities of this world, and our need to address the true crisises of poverty, hunger, and desolation that still plague this planet......instead of all our fruitless wars that truely address nothing.

Respectfully,

John & Tami E.
San Francisco, CA

Muito agradecido pela sinceridade de suas palavras e a grandiosidade do ser que você é. Revisitando sempre sua galeria, me pergunto: Em qual porto este cidadão do mundo vai parar? Sim por que se há elementos que podemos compreender a idéia de civilização que temos e os paradgmas que precisamos ainda enfrentar para nos dignificarmos a chamar-mos de humanos e civilizados, eu os encontro também e com abundância em sua obra meu caro Léo. Sucesso em vocação. Sua leitura do mundo me comove. Sou profissional do Turismo, coordeno um curso universitário e como consultor eu rodo por ai e entre pesquisas, povos e países, eu "pesco" sempre verdadeiros exemplares de GENTE cuja função me diz: vale a pena tentar acertar.
LÉO! THE BEST!!!!

Hello my dear friend Renato!!
Firstful, thank you very much for your so kind words...
No my friend, I don't work for a newspaper or magazine (I'm a lawyer and amateur in photograph...).
No again, I haven't a book, but I'm looking for a sponsor or government to publish one... It's my DREAM, and I'm trying hard! If you no some one...
Cheers,
Leo

Caramba Paulo, me arrepiei!! Nem sei como agradecer as palavras de encorajamento que você me passou!!Acho que poucas pessoas até hoje conseguiram entender o que busco passar com minhas fotos mais dramáticas, quando você diz "sem apelar para o ridículo do sofrimento alheio" me sinto totalmente realizado, pois é exatamente isso que busco evitar...
E quando você diz que faz um "mergulho na condição humana" você compreende EXATAMENTE o que eu procuro transmitir!! Fico extremamente feliz por isso!!
Quando saio para fotografar a "rua", procuro seguir alguns passos, que eu mesmo criei: 1) vou sozinho, ninguém conhecido pode estar perto; 2) levo um equipamento simples e que não chame muito a atenção (para não constrangir); 3) evito demonstrar medo ou vergonha; 4) e o principal: me "misturo" com a cena, interajo com ela, e procuro extrair tudo que ela possa me fornecer.
Mas sempre com simplicidade e respeito, essa é a chave!!!!
Quando postei essa foto, imaginava que ela ganharia algum "prêmio", como "Best in Project" por exemplo, mas errei, e isso me deixou um pouco decepcionado. Mas repito, quando li teu comentário e vi que finalmente alguém compreendeu o que eu faço, tudo valeu a pena, e estou agora gagan... para o "prêmio".
Obrigado amigo!!!! Um abraço,
Leo

Hi Leonardo....I'm back again!
This is a wonderful monochromatic image my friend with great journalistic content. A true street scene of people that are happy enough but living at the lowest ebb of life. Well seen and taken my friend. My very best wishes to you.....Ray:)

Powerful shot, Leo!

The technique is really great: beautiful tones&light, amazing exposure and DOF. Good job!

The image is much better!

The happiness from our people is a example to the world; no matter the problems and difficulties, it is not difficult to find a smile... I don't want to complete with my politic opinions here (LOL, satiric LOL).

However, I like the different reactions I note on the picture: happiness, sadness, shyness(?) and indifference.

Great journalistic shot, my friend!

Do you work for a newspaper or have a published book? Your portfolio is a documentary!

Wishing you all the best,
Renato

Meu Deus!!!! Que dramaticidade você consegue com suas fotos, sem apelar para o ridículo do sofrimento alheio, como acontecem com algum "profissionais". Cada vez que venho aqui em sua galeria eu faço um mergulho na condição humana e suas possibilidades, presentes ou imanifestas. Suas fotos, Leo é um livro de história, sem letras, mas impregnado de conteúdos que talvez uma biblioteca não comportaria.
Sou um admirador de sua obra. O mundo (sinceramente) ainda vai conhecer de forma mais ampla o seu trabalho. Adoreiiiiiiiiiiiiiii esta foto! Sucesso pra você!:)

Excellent contrast with the Ilford film, Leonardo. Their expressions are happy...and I guess in a sense, sad also. Great journalism.
Kind regards,
