Jorge Amado, a photo from Bahia, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Statue of Jorge Amado, sitting at Vesuvio Bar, in the town of Ilh騏s. Although he was born in Itabuna, the writer spent his childhood in Ilh騏s, state of Bahia. On the background we can see Jorge Amado's Block, where the house where he lived is today a museum paying tribute to him. Writer of famous novels, such as "Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon", "Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands", and "Tieta, the Goat Girl", he is one of the few great writers who dedicated himself exclusively to literature, never having worked with something else. He died in 2001, and his ashes were spread on his house's garden. He was one of the greatest idols from Bahia and Brazil.

Oi, Fabiano!
Que bom que voc� voltou e com uma foto interessante e curiosa da est疸ua de um dos baianos mais ilustres e famosos do Brasil, nosso querido escritor Jorge Amado. Boas cores e imo equil兊rio da luz. Parab駭s, excelente registro!

Ol� Fabiano,
bem interessante mesmo essa est疸ua, deve ter um bocado de b鹵ado que bate papo com ele. Quanto a foto gostei das cores, mas tem um problema com a nitidez, ou "pixeling", ja comentei com sua m綟 sobre isso uma vez, e ela resolveu nas fotos dela, mas n縊 sei como. Sugiro atualizar o Photoshop tamb駑.
Parab駭s e Abra輟

Coloriu o mapa da Bahia, hein! Tomou um cafezinho com o Jorge Amado? Essa mesa � liberada ao p炻lico ou � exclusiva do escritor? A foto ficou bem interessante com o detalhe de sua rua mostrada ao fundo. Que livro ele est� lendo?

Fabiano,
confesso que ele n縊 se parece muito com o famoso escritor. De qualquer forma � uma bela homenagem.
O lugar em si, com aquela rua estreita mais atr疽, parece ser bem aconchegante para uma bate-papo ou um bom caf�.
Bela mostra e obrigado por compartilhar.
Abra輟s,
Wagner.

dear Fabiano,
his blue shirt and yellow chairs are so vivid,
this strong light makes very contrasted scene, and in it this humorous and thoughtful figure looks being best position.
a wonderful view shot, thank you,
from Japan, Akihisa

Ola Fabiano,
nice the scene with the writer of Jorge Amado,sitting on his permanent seat at Vesuvio Bar.A brilliant idea of the owner of the bar, to invite attention of his customers.

Have a nice week,Danos

Ol� Fabiano,
esta escultura del escritor sentado en la terraza del bar, con una expresi en su rostro que parece estar meditando, es una aportaci muy simp疸ica y original a esta vista urbana con buena perspectiva.
Buen control de la luz y las sombras, en una composici bien realizada.
Abra輟,
Josep

Hello Fabiano.
A nice capture of this life like sculpture. The image is well composed and has a nice atmosphere to it with the people sitting under the shade in the background. Very good colours and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Fabiano. Your photo is really an eye-catching. Advertising is everything. Anyone who wants to sell, must have ideas. Well observed and beautifully realized. Best regards, wolfgang.

Dyerco (10185) 2009-11-25 22:15

Hi Fabiano
Nicely conposed with the figure of Jorge well placed and dominant in the scene. Excellent sharpness and DOF.

Hola Fabiano.
Una foto muy curiosa e interesante, la composicion es buena con la soleada terraza y la mesa del poeta, al fondo la calle que da profundidad a la escena y los pocos clientes de verdad, buscando la sombra.
Saludos.
Luis.

Fabiano,
que legal que ficou essa foto! O mais interessante � o caminho que o olho faz vindo l� do fundo da rua e chegando no Jorge Amado! Ou ser� o inverso?
Fant疽tico registro!

gentedilivello (3103) 2009-12-06 2:38

Hi Fabiano,
very well composed shot. You caught perfectly the statue and I like a lot the yellow "spots" formed by the chairs.
TFS.
Have a nice sunday.
Gabriele.

Ol� Fabiano,
Bela homenagem ao grande Jorge Amado. Foi uma grande injusti軋 ele n縊 ter recebido o Pr駑io Nobel.

Hello Fabiano,

This writer one was certainly accustomed of this coffee, I think. Beautiful and interesting photograph where I appreciate much this good luminosity and the framing of the image which gives depth to this urban landscape. I also notice that the weather was to be rather hot this day, the customers sought the shade� Well done Fabiano.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

Pozdrav, kod nas je topao dan i ako je zima.

Hello Fabiano,
Very interesting image, on its composition, colors and quality. Excellent note, giving useful information about Jorge Amado, who is known in the former Soviet Union mainly with his novel "Capit綟s de Areia" and American movie "The Sandpit Generals", which was very popular here. Perfectly well composed, captured and commented!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hello Fabiano,

Nice to see Jorge Amado sitting and thinking about his next novel. Well presentation with those yello chirs and the blue shirt he is wearing. Nice inclusion of the humans with the statue.

Lakshmi

ikeharel (112467) 2016-04-30 22:29

Marvelous statue posted out in the restaurant tables, Fabiano, almost thought it was human.
The surrounding also looks calm and inviting, green and yellow with blue sky combined well.
Bom domingo,
Ike
