Domination

Manipulation, sloganizing,
depositing, regimentation, and prescription
cannot be components of revolutionary praxis,
precisely because they are the components
of the praxis of domination.

— Paulo Freire

Paul’s Avenue – Local Colour

The ubiquitous telephone booths,

quirky decorations,

Strelitzias

– bigger than you’d think –

and of course the shoppers.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect,
you can like them for who they are.

― Donald Miller

I suppose it goes for cities too 🙂

Paul’s Avenue

Cone shaped,

rounded…

…with a twist,

funnel shaped,

triangular,

folded,

…erm, modern.

In stealth mode.

The distinctive MASP museum.

What’s a stay in São Paulo, without a visit to the Avenida Paulista? An architectural display with countless high-rises clamouring for attention: choose me, choose me! I think I favour the building in stealth mode – which would you choose?

A Very Happy Birthday to Paul! Greetings from your very own avenue! I’m afraid the paper card may take another month or two to arrive…
