People From São Paulo
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Liberdade (district Of São Paulo)
Liberdade (, ''liberty''; ja, リベルダージ, Riberudāji) is the name of a district in the subprefecture of Sé, in São Paulo, Brazil. By various estimates, it is home to the world's largest ethnic Japanese community outside Japan. History Liberdade was known as Campo da Forca (''Field of the Gallows'') until the late 19th century, and was an area reserved for the execution of slaves and convicts. Death was considered the only path to liberty (''liberdade'') for slaves. The condemned were led to the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte (''Church of Our Lady of Good Death'') to perform a final prayer for a rapid and painless death. The church remains on Rua do Carmo at the corner of Rua Tabatinguera. Slaves and other convicts were executed in the Largo da Forca (''Gallows Square''), the public square now known as Praça da Liberdade. Cemitério dos Aflitos (''Cemetery of the Afflicted'') was created in 1774 to bury executed slaves, those who had committed suicide, and others ...

Street Photography
Street photography (also sometimes called candid photography) is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places. Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature and some candid photography being classifiable as street photography. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic. Colin Westerbeck. ''Bystander: A History of Street Photography''. 1st ed. Little, Brown and Company, 1994. The street photographer can be seen as an extension of the '' flâneur'', an observer of the streets (who was often a writer or artist). Framing and timing can be key aspects of t ...
