Running at Elevado Costa e Silva, by Marcus Laranjeira
Award Winner | Photo of the Day | June 21, 2010
This photo was taken on an avenue in downtown São Paulo-SP, Brazil, which is elevated from street level, about as high as the second floor of a building. Residential buildings around this avenue, when it was built, lost value and people who lived in them lost their privacy. So the whole area has worsened. Indigents, drug addicts, criminals and people on the margins of society began to frequent the area. To take pictures with security in this region, a group of photographers, amateur and professional, under the supervision of a journalist, organized a photographic output for this purpose. The tour lasted about two hours and yielded excellent images.

Parabens, Marcus, composição linda, é interessante ver o elevado tranquilo desse jeito.ABS
Congratulations, Marcus. Nice B&W!!
Bela foto!
Nice picture!! New vision about São Paulo, always overcrowded.
The sad Elevado also served as location for the movie “Blindness”.
Great photo.
Resembles the vision of a ghost city.
What distinghishes a great artist, first of all, is a modest; second, imagination and thirdly, the technique.
Sensitivity and competence resulted in this beautiful image.
Congratulations, Marcus!
Nice shot! It’s great to see night life in São Paulo city. Congratulations for this capture!

São Paulo… olhos de artista para pintá-la; alma de poeta para entendê-la…
São as sombras às sombras desta cidade, como uma esfinge a gritar: decifra-me ou te devoro!
Parabéns!
Carmela

Linda a foto!
Muito cheia de sentimentos!
I loved the effect on the runner!
Belíssima foto, impressionante como a cabeça da pessoa fotografada lembra um martelo que logo me fez lembrar Pink Floyd – The Wall – a luzes, o elevado… a foto tem som!!! excelente
Nice picture!
This picture has movement, it is sensitive. The framework has a great view of the depth of the high and the slums of concrete in buildings that became the region.
Nice work, congratulations
very nice!!!!
Nice picture!
Awesome picture!
Great!!!
I guess this shoot captures an interesting point of view from this location in São Paulo: The ghosts. When the cars – true innhabitants of this crazy city – are forbidden to use the Elevado, some ghosts of an ancient and rarely-seen specie can be caught doing an old habbit: Sports.
I could feel the wind in my face just looking to this picture! Congratulations Marcus! Very nice shot!
Impressive, spectral, but realistic. Very nice shot
So beautiful ! Thanks .
