Since 2004 I have visited several construction sites in São Paulo. When I arrive, I ask the workers for permission to photograph their "marmitas" (packed lunches). Even though they are hungry, most patiently give me their permission. It is lunchtime and, as is the custom in Brazil, each worker has left home very early carrying his marmita. Gastronomy for a hard day's work.
