We already showed you photos of Rio de Janeiro gangsters taken by Joao de Carvalho. This time we found photographs of everyday life in this city. They were taken by another photographer Urbano Erbiste, who documents the life of local citizens and shows violence, girls, gangs of Rio de Janeiro, etc.

Rio de Janeiro Gangsters (28 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       29 Jul 2010       27747

Many people call Rio de Janeiro one of the world’s most violent cities. Why? You can see everything yourself, because the gangsters’ paradise has been documented by photographer Joao de Carvalho from Portugal. He took many pictures of local drug traffickers and gangs who are often the bosses of communities where Brazilian state does not exist. At the age of 18 these guys provide neighbors with many basic needs, including food and medicines.

The Reality of 2016 Olympic City Rio de Janeiro (12 pics + 1 video)

Posted in PICTURES       1 Mar 2010       17448
This is the reality of suburbs and slums of the city which will host Olympics in 2016.
As you can see from these pictures, the dark side of this beautiful city is shown. The police have long ago lost any control in these areas. Now it is drug dealers and criminal groups who are reigning there. Apart from adult drug addicts, you can also see children wandering the streets looking for crack or other drugs.
Very sad reality…

Slum war in Rio de Janeiro (35 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       21 Oct 2009       16751
Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city which must be very interesting to visit but nothing is perfect and behind the beautiful beaches, there are a lot of things that happen in the slums…

The battle which began on Saturday between hundreds of drug traffickers from different rival gangs put the chaos in Rio and turned the city into a warzone. They shot down a police helicopter. 17 people died that weekend.
Talk about a good advertisement two weeks only after Rio was awarded the 2016 Olympics…
It raised questions over the city's ability to safely host the Games in 2016.

Living on a building wall! (11 pics)

That’s the crazy project of Gabriel (20) and Tiago (27) Primo, 2 brothers living in Rio de Janeiro - they are sleeping, working, eating, well… living on the side of a building 33 feet up in the air.
And that’s not just for a day, they’ve been doing that since the end of May and they plan to continue this weird adventure until August 20.
In fact, it’s a part of an art exhibit in Rio’s old center, and what an exhibition! You don’t see that everyday, so if you’re in Rio this summer, don’t forget to go and see this colourful living wall.
