I’m submitting these photos to the event Thursday Special at Paula’s blog ‘Lost in Translation’. Breaking The Rules. That’s what she had to say about it:
The theme for this Thursday’s Special is “Multitude”. It can be the masses (crowds) or multitude of just about anything (of animate or inanimate origin). It can even be a solitary (human) being with a multitude of worries drawn on his face. Get creative and have fun!
And here is what I selected:
My interpretation of multitude is based on this one:
the mass of ordinary people without power or influence.noun: the multitude“placing ultimate political power in the hands of the multitude”
I made these photos while being at Boa Viagem beach in Recife, Brazil. Here you will see ordinary people from young to old, working at the beach to make ends meet. Click on the photo see a larger version.

“The mass of ordinary people without power or influence”. That’s a pretty powerful statement on its own.

I love them! Now I’m sitting here trying to think of what I could sell on the beach. 🙂

I know! Pumpkins! I’d buy and eat it with shrimps. 😉

That probably wouldn’t work out well, considering the pumpkins aren’t ready until October. The beach is vacant by then. How about green juice?

It would be summer there. Green juice would sell!

I often wonder if these people make any kind of a living, Lucile, but 10 out of 10 for effort. I spied a guy there with a winning smile. He must sell 🙂

They do sell but the question is if what they make is enough. They normally are very cheerful and talented sellers!

Thanks! He’s not selling the swimming pools but renting it for 1hr or less if kids want to play close to their parents who are just siting and having a beer! Lol
