carnival 2009: photos

In 2009 we attended the parade of the samba schools at the São Paulo sambadrome. During that night my camera never ceased clicking, and the result of that party is now online: 9 photo albums devoted to the carnival collection.

—- album: beauties. Images of some of the beautiful people that paraded along the Sambadrome, scantily clad in most cases.

—- album: Leandro de Itaquera. Images of the samba school Leandro de Itaquera. The theme of its parade was the outskirts of the Brazilian cities.

—- album: Pérola Negra. Images of the samba school Pérola Negra. The theme of its parade was India.

—- album: Mocidade Alegre. Images of the samba school Mocidade Alegre. The theme of its parade was the heart.

—- album: Académicos do Tucuruvi. Images of the samba school Acadêmicos do Tucuruvi. The theme of its parade was Ouro Preto, in Minas Gerais.

—- album: Gaviões da Fiel. Images of the samba school Gaviões da Fiel. The theme of its parade was the wheel.

—- album: Vai-Vai. Images of the samba school Vai-Vai. The theme of its parade was health.
