Olá, Manuel ! Que prazer receber a sua mensagem. As fotografias de homens e mulheres negras, realizadas por José Cristiano são fantásticas; a forma como ele capta as expressões é incrível. Sei que há algumas na coleção do Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo, me parece que há uma coleção completa no Arquivo Central do Iphan/Rio de Janeiro. Ele foi um grande fotógrafo, não é mesmo ? Abraço.
