    I see another picture with the tree -- it is trying to be a composer in a theatre or something....even the shadow on the right looks interesting too.

    I'm curious as to how you came by the title.

    Paul,

    I believe Donald said that Fernando doesn't speak English so you may have to translate to Portuguese; although I don't think Fernando ever responds directly.

    John, thanks. No Portuguese spoken here. It will remain a mystery.

    Wonderful in B and W and the Walker Evans quote is perfect. I really like photos that you want to make up stories about.

    To me the tree is roughly shaped like a cross and perhaps the mafiosos are packing bibles.
    Like it, Fernando.

    For me, it is quite easy to see the Crucifixion in the top part of the tree. I think I would have left out the two figures and let the image stand for itself.

    I love it. The two figures could be mafia hiding in the shadow of The Cross (I think). It works with me on so many levels. That is only my opinion.
    Cheers Ole
