We walked down a major street of the neighborhood called Nova Holanda to find some children willing to take pictures. Once we had a few and started teaching how to use the Brownie camera, Mateo, 5 years old, seized on the idea quickly and began to jump up and say over and over, with ‘wow!’ anticipation in his voice, “Eu vou tirar uma foto da minha avó!” -- “I’m going to take a picture of my grandmother!” When we later developed his photo and saw this image, we had ‘wow’ in our voices, too.
