You have caught a great moment in time.

sooooooo cute

sart, you made my day with these shots. i never engage in this but i really have to this time: the little boy in turquoise blue looks like a young RONALDO (muscle structure is clear to see although he is so young). love it! and they are so happy, it’s wonderful to live vicariously through these boys if even just for a moment.

I love how he has his fingers crossed in the last pic. precious!

love how these photos tell a story. Your shots from rio have been some of my favorites!

Wonderful! So unselfconscious & full of the joys of living.

I wish i could still run and play like that without a worry in the hole world! They look so happy and they are super cute. I love kids:)

ISO love the song.. perhaps one day I will travel there.. in a plane.. oppose to in my mind.

Turquoise trunks kid is so funny looking (in a good way). Like a little man. Look at the muscles. Clearly not a kid who sits in all day playing nintendo.

And that last shot is just joy.

Thanks, Sart.

TRANSLATION OF BRAZILIAN SOUL
CONGRATULATIONS!
IS ALL I CAN SAY
YOU CAPTURED NOT JUST OUTFITS, BUT PERSONALITIES.

I guess they’re nice pictures, but I come here for the clothes.

magic pics!
very very cool!

they look cute and the photos you took are amazing,expressing their joy:)

i love this pic. it reminds me of my family..

i’m loving the rio shots

Ah to be so young and carefree… It is truly a beautiful time in our lives that once gone, can never be recaptured. Thanks to you, this particualr moment in these boy’s lives is forever captured in celluloid.

You are amazing! You can take pictures of perfect moments!
Wow!

How cute! They look to be practising capoeira in the 2nd picture.

wow, there’s no one on the beach! that’s insane for Ipanema. i have to say that Brazilians from all walks of life are the classiest people I have ever met and you can see it in all the beautiful photos. SAUDADE PRA BRASIL! try and visit some Choro Samba halls and street samba in Lapa if you can for some great moments and amazing music.

These photos are the most beautiful you have taken. Incredible, man!

Beautiful pictures! however I don’t think these boys are a picture of innocence, more-so energy. The boy in blue has a very knowing face. I think it’s amazing that children’s personalities are formed so early and that they sometimes posses more knowledge than when they grow up and become effected by everything. Lovely

I’m in love. These happy little boys made me smile.

The boy in the blue reminds me of myself when I was a kid! Haha. I’ve yet to run across a beach in Rio though. : (

ohhhhhh this series is one of my favorites ever! thank you! joy.

After a trip to NYC, I have renewed interest in fashion and your site. Keep up the great work.

Those are fabulous. I've gotten more joy out of imagining you capturing these shots & smiling at the boys. All in all, you've pulled this viewer into the shot.

yep,there ARE better things in the world than fashion…

At last! Among all the pictures from Rio, these are the only ones that show a bit of what Brazil really feels like…
It’s a pity he hasn’t taken pictures of people in the city, just by the sea… The beach is only 10% of what Rio is!

Well, the other pictures from Rio are great too, as always… I was just hoping that he could maybe capture a little more of the Brazilian way of living in them. Most of the people look like actors employed by Rede Globo, Brazil’s biggest TV broadcaster.

Out to play in rio..boys in bright colorful shorts which contrasts with the natural calm of the environment..

Beautiful and Fun..Lovely Pictures
(and love that blue!)

It’s good to see people with swimming costumes whereas we are wearing coats in Paris!

I’m of the same kind of mind as Anonymous who said “Beautiful pictures! however I don’t think these boys are a picture of innocence, more-so energy. The boy in blue has a very knowing face. I think it’s amazing that children’s personalities are formed so early and that they sometimes posses more knowledge than when they grow up and become effected by everything. Lovely”

That muscular little body speaks of work and I don’t mean work out. Some of those kids working on the streets of Rio begin awfully young and lead everything but a carefree life. Yet it is inspiring to witness their ability to let all their worries drop, reclaim some innocence and behave like the kids they really are. Nice shots.

Looked up capoeira after the poster’s comment – interesting, here’s a link -

I love all the Brazil photos, but especially enjoy the ones of the boys and their movements.

I’ve a fascination for Brazil – always have since I heard about Rio in elementary school a long time ago, but again most recently when I read Death in Brazil by Peter Robb. Also follow some police procedurals set in Brazil.

This is the true heart and soul of Rio…..

adorable! I love his haircut too.

soo cute! thank you for capturing genuine happiness. :)

this is so brazil to me. obrigada o senhor!

Ahhh the good life! The world would be a much better place if adults could feel this way just once a week!

As boys we played as men. As men we play as boys.

Ahh to me young and carefree again. Beautiful shots.

Leaving aside the “romance” of this pictures…what I really like about them, is the little turquoise boy with a matching little turquoise wrist band!…that’s cool!
