A photo essay of the wildness of the Brazilian carnival, 28 Jun 2007
By Charles Ashbacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carnaval (Hardcover)
All of the photos in this collection were taken by Claudio Edinger during the wildness of the Brazilian Carnival. As you can see from the pictures, the emphasis is on the carnal aspect of the carnival. You see men dressed up as women, sometimes convincingly and other times absurdly. Some people are seen engaged in the height of revelry and others display the fatigue of the aftermath. Nearly naked older men are dancing in the streets, making up for in enthusiasm what they are obviously lacking in physical structure. Wild costumes of all forms appear, from some that could safely be used on a Halloween night in America to others that quite possibly could get you arrested.
I have never attended a Brazilian carnival, but it is clear that it is a wild time where almost anything goes. Rich and poor, beautiful and ugly, all are welcome and all certainly have a good time.
