Tio Armindo "Pouca-sorte"

Tio Armindo was one of most important people in my life, although he had never realized that. Man who started the avalanche of events. Tio Armindo "Pouca-sorte" – uncle Armindo "Bad luck", nobody knows why he was called this way, cause it was the happiest person in the village, and he used to bring luck to others.
He brought me as well.
He passed away few days ago. I will always remember him sitting still on Praca of Proenca a Velha as on this picture - picture which changed my life.

i know this portrait very well, but you've never said this fascinating story. c'mon - reveal the rest of it!

with this story, with these words it changes a lot. they bring some melancholy and nostalgia into this icture. wich is good, wich can be described as a true photography - human photography. well done my dear!
