I photographed the following scene in Salvador, Brazil, in 1971.
Supported by two musicians, a man challenged spectators to face him in a bout
of capoeira, a form of Brazilian martial art, for a prize. A valiant teenager
did, but was not long in biting the dust, and the coins that fell in the ring
went to the man.
