Photographer's Note
The Barbearia Benfica, in Mindelo, Cape Verde, uses the name of the most popular Portuguese football/soccer team. This barbershop is older than modern marketing and merchandising methods, but the name Benfica promotes business either in Portugal or former colonies, where that team is quite popular too.
These two doors open to the same room. They are open - for business and for natural air conditioning. The woman is a worker there.
Benfica team website: S.L. Benfica.
O Benfica é tão popular em Cabo Verde como em Portugal. Aqui está uma prova disso: o nome é usado por uma velha barbearia na cidade do Mindelo, ilha de São Vicente.
Nota: não tenho nada a ver com o clube nem gosto de futebol.

Olà Francisco,
I know it ... remember it :)
Nice compo with two parallel environments that join themselves finally ...
The worker-woman is a nice element in your photo !

Hi Francisco,
It's informative but not very attractive :-)
I think a tighter focus on one of the two people would have accomplished most of your informative goal but had a little higher charisma value. Although syl found it charismatic; guess you had to be there.

Foto curiosa por dois motivos. Primeiro, é do BENFICA e fica-lhe muito bem!!! Segundo, é uma barbearia que pertence a uma mulher. Será que as mulheres em Cabo Verde também fazem ... a barba?!!!
Bom Ano Novo.

Esta está muito fixe Francisco. Adoro o enquadramento das duas portas e a tabuleta ali ao meio.

hey Francisco,
i like this picture a lot. very natural, showing daily life and having its own climate. barber shop is a place where people talk, place where the gossip are passed on. in small towns the barber is the person who knows everything the best. these two guys having a chat as well... maybe they will find out sth new to talk from the barber...life in small towns...:) thanks.
