Mouraria, Lisbon
Camilla Watson is a British photographer who fell in love with Lisbon, where she's living for four years. One of her latest projects is to photograph the inhabitants of this very old neighbourhood and print the shots onto the walls of the streets where they live.

Love the photos, unusual idea JM.
That is a great idea.
What an amazing way to honor those people! Your shots of the neighborhood both here and in your previous post are just beautiful.
A creative and highly respective way to honor the neighborhood's citizens. Good for her!!
Have a relaxing and wonderful week-end!
What a great idea and good for her! Terrific capture on your part as well! Thanks for sharing this, JM! Enjoy your evening!

What a fantastic idea...and I can see that the neighborhood and the people have a lot of "character"! How does one print pictures on the wall like that?
Great shots JM! And I love this project, what a fantastic idea. I could see this being done in some of the barrios around Tucson. Gives me ideas...
@Lowell: I have no idea, I asked myself the same question when I saw it, but it's so cool!
An interesting project and a beautiful realization...
Muito interessante este projeto, se as pessoas que estão a ser fotografadas autorizam, é claro.
Wow! This is real street art. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
That is such a cool idea, I really like the images.
Great idea! Lovely shots!
I wish I knew how to as well. This is a brilliant idea!
What a good project ! :)
Lovely photography!
Wonderful to see...and much better than bad spray can graffiti.
I wonder how the people (and their neighbours) feel about this, Jose? I like the style of photograph involved and that she endeavours to colour code them with the walls on which they appear. I guess this is a form of mural, or even street-art.
I love it! ;-)
I was wondering how they were printed too. Not only are these beautiful and the idea terrific your photos are also a lovely execution to show the artwork in situ to great advantage ... wonderful shots.
Yes, the rhinos at our zoo are African.
Love that cobblestone narrow way...
What a unique project!
Great shots, both yours and Camilla's. I'm also curious how she prints them. I wonder if it's a large scale print transfer, and I wonder how they weather. Have they been up long? And I would suppose that the locals enjoy seeing themselves and their neighbors as wall art?
Wow - what a fabulous idea! And your shots are wonderful - as always.
A unique and brilliant idea!
She is a talented photographer, this project is so cool, I like this idea!
*** coincidentemente eu estive pensando nesse tipo de "portraits"essa manha!Giro!
