Paixao was a good man, but a bit nutty. Nuttier than most people even.
He loved women, and he loved his camera.
One day he got his pension money (retired street sweeper) and went to the beach.
He photographed three 'Australian' women sunbathing topless.
The camera was a cheap and simple model, he had the eye but not the acquisitiveness.
One of the women offered to take his photo together with her two friends.
He handed over the camera.
And she hurled it into the ocean.
Paixao had money enough for lunch; but instead he spent it on a replacement camera.
That decision speaks volumes.
The funeral is tomorrow.
He leaves behind a secret girlfriend who I must go to find and inform.
