Uma prova dura para todos, sem exceção, que nela participam nomeadamente os ‘homens da imagem’, aqueles que nos transportam para um Dakar que a maioria gostava de poder viver bem por dentro. Aqui e agora, lembramo-nos de Jefferson Luiz Maleski quando afirmou “O escritor e o fotógrafo utilizam as mesmas ferramentas, mas enquanto um descreve uma imagem com mil palavras o outro descreve mil palavras com uma imagem.” A nossa fotogaleria de hoje é uma homenagem a todos os profissionais da imagem que, durante duas semanas, dão o ‘melhor do seu melhor’ fazendo verdadeira poesia.
