Flickr Pictures

Some great pictures of São Paulo that I've found browsing Flickr: Edificio Viadutos [2], an eclectic looking 1950s apartment building. Cadaver Building, the abandoned construction of Electropaulo's pre-privatization headquarters. Holga pictures of São Paulo. Paulista & Rebouças at night [2], two of the cities busiest avenues. Edificio São Vito, a previously blogged vertical favela. Backside of Niemeyer's Edificio Copan, nearly a vertical favela in it's own right. Its efficiency flats supposedly home to many of the Centro's trannies.

A few months ago I posted on Oscar Niemeyer's Memorial da America Latina. The day I visited the library was closed. I returned yesterday and took these shots of the interior.

Cabelereiros

For once I wake up early on a Sunday morning and go walking around my neighborhood. All the shops are closed and outside on that roll-down thingie they all have painted murals of the shop's function. There's a lot of hair salons near where I live. I liked the awkward yet idealistic representations of the perfect haircut.

The yellow-background with red or black lettering is popular. I'll be posting more examples soon.
