EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rafael Marchante, a dog becomes the focal point as it stands gracefully on a flight of stairs in Lisbon's Alfama neighborhood. The image transports us to the vibrant streets of Portugal's capital city, where history and charm intertwine seamlessly. The dog exudes an air of curiosity and independence, embodying the spirit of exploration that is synonymous with Alfama. With its head held high and ears perked up, it seems to be observing its surroundings with keen interest. Perhaps it is captivated by the colorful facades that line the narrow streets or enticed by the tantalizing scents wafting from nearby cafes. Alfama itself is known for its labyrinthine alleys and steep staircases that wind their way through centuries-old buildings. This particular staircase serves as a metaphorical bridge between past and present, connecting generations of residents who have called this neighborhood home. Marchante's expert composition captures not only the architectural beauty but also hints at the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals in this bustling urban setting. It reminds us how even amidst our busy lives, we can find solace in simple moments shared with our four-legged companions. This photograph encapsulates both serenity and liveliness simultaneously—a testament to Marchante's skillful eye for capturing fleeting moments that tell compelling stories about society, animals, and everyday life in Lisbon.
