On Mother's day Mia and I decided to do some of the things we enjoy doing together and because the World Press Photo exhibition was on at Museu da Electricidade we headed there despite the heavy rain.
I often use the yearly World Press photos in my English classes for discussion purposes, particularly the ones that relate to a story telling and despite taking photos of photos may not be the healthiest way to use them, as we were walking around the exhibit rooms, I couldn't help photographing some of the ones that mostly impressed me.
Andy Roccheli, Italy - Russian lady posing for a photograph to be later posted in a dating website.
Lisa Krantz, USA - Young Amorie West dressed up as disco sound girl before attending a Halloween party (left). Raphaella Rosella, AUstralia - Laurind, a young Kamilaroi girl playing with her dress as she waits for the bus that will take her to the Sunday school classes (right).

Yongzhi Chu, China - A rhesus macaque cowering as its circus trainer gets closer during a training session (right).
The number of visitors almost exceeded the space capability of the various rooms in which the exhibition was being held, making it difficult to thoroughly look at some of the most impressive photos, I found it nevertheless rather interesting and a real challenge to take the few photos I managed to take.
