Every morning Josh walked the streets of Braga with his camera around his neck and his lens bag on his back. He’d been doing it since his arrival six weeks before. He stood out, of course, without even saying a word. But as it was, his height and his accent gave him away among the locals, and to his advantage.

In the beginning, he’d gone all day on occasion and only photographed one or two people.

He turned his gaze to the west side of town, over the terracotta rooftops and church steeples, despite not being able to see the building he knew was there. Even if he excused himself with the reason of interesting work and a new, exciting projects that kept him busy, the real motivation for extending his stay had nothing to do with photography or the city.
