This week’s Photo Challenge is Treasure. As a photography lover and amateur photographer, I immediately thought about it in the context of great photography and great photographers whose work I admire and treasure. So, instead of my own photos, I’m sharing a video of my favorite photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, talking about “The Decisive Moment.”
Oh, and here is my photo of my own little HCB treasure:
I don’t like to be in front of the camera and rarely pose for photos. This is my first and probably last selfie. WordPress, what won’t I do for you…?

During the Pentecost season, Brazilian Catholics celebrate the ascension of Christ into heaven with the Festival of the Divine Holy Spirit. Besides religious activities, a distinctly Brazilian tradition during the festival is the Cavalhadas, a ceremony that reenacts the Christian knights’ defeat of the Moors on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. Actors ride on horseback, with the Christian knights, dressed in blue, squaring off against the Moors, in red. Some dress as animals, using masks like the one in the photo. This “bull mask” is typical of the Cavalhadas of Pirenopolis, a historic town in Southeast Brazil.

There’s an exciting sense of community among soccer fans rooting for their team. Here, Brazilian soccer fans, in pre-World Cup mode, root for our beloved “Seleção Canarinha.” Will Brazil win its 6th World Cup at home in 2014? I sure hope so! 🙂
