I was invited to participate in a collective exhibit along with other members of the Focus Group - a gathering of Sacramento photographers - at the Beatnik Studios and Gallery. I chose to display four images from "Retratos no Mercado," a series of portraits I created this past June in my hometown of Fortaleza, CE Brasil. This project came when I was asked to photograph the city's oldest market from my own point of view. I was immediately drawn to the butchers.
