12 July 2014, Lapa, Rio de Janeiro.
A hive of business activity by day - you'd never guess. But when the sun goes down, Lapa lights up. Anything you dare to imagine you'd find. And I found myself wondering...
Dear girl
on your street corner
long lashes
short skirt
full glass
empty smile
why are you here?
what in life has brought you to this place
and what from you has it taken away?
and you, who sells me
beer (out of chilly bins)
caipirihnas (from a trolley)
whisky shots (on a tray)
meat (on a stick)
popcorn (in paper bags)*
why are you here?
taxi driver
street sweeper
policia
all who are here because of us -
Us - in our insatiable carnality
surely there must be something better for all of us?
*popcorn and prostitutes? what world do we live in?

Right...so the stalls that sold those items by the roadside are all run by prostitutes?
