A quick entry after a pretty chill day. We were supposed to
spend the holiday, Corpus Christi, boating around the bay but got rained out so
instead I checked out a few museums and spent lots of time chatting with my
house mom, Helena (pictured below). In an earlier post I mentioned Carybé, a
renown Brazilian artist who captured Bahia in the mid-twentieth century. In the
same era, a photographer named Pierre Verger did very much the same thing.
French by birth, he came to Salvador to discover a “little Africa,” and in a
way that no other photographer could do he preserved moments of candomblé, work by the sea, dances,
music, faces, and expressions. See his work here.
