The Copacabana Way

Over the last 30 years Brazil has been associated to a strong sexual stereotype. The coast cities (specially Rio de Janeiro) contribute with it, as thousands of "gringos" come here to see the almost naked bodies on the beach and streets of Copacabana.

Copa has more than 1 million people and it is the most visited place in Rio. With so many foreign people walking around everyday, it is impossible not to develop some ilegal or imoral activities, reinforcing the good old stereotype.

I was living there when I took these photos showing the usual night activities of my neighbor.
