The Alfama is Lisbon's oldest quarter. It's name can be derived from the Arabic word Alfamm: meaning "mouth". Alfama represents an organic weave of old cobble stone streets, meandering passages, and dangerously close tram lines. But below the enigmatic surface there’s also for many locals a harder reality of living in historically aged—and therefore somewhat run down quarters. In this body of work I'm trying to look beyond the stock photo trams and into the organic coexistence of architecture, history, and everyday life that exists in this district.
