Num sábado à tarde, depois de mais umas horas a fotografar na Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Garrett, deparei-me, ao sair do edifício, com a Blanca estendida sobre a relva dos jardins do Palácio de Cristal. Oriunda de Barcelona, a Blanca estava pela primeira vez a passar um fim de semana no Porto e tinha trazido na bagagem um exemplar de "Mi Planta de Naranja Lima" ("O Meu Pé de Laranja Lima"), de José Mauro de Vasconcelos, que lhe fora oferecido por uma tia. Tinha começado a ler o livro na véspera e estava a gostar tanto que quando a fotografei lia já as últimas páginas.
On a Saturday afternoon, after a few more hours photographing at Almeida Garrett Municipal Library, I came across, when leaving the building, with Blanca lying down on the grass of the Palácio de Cristal gardens. Born in Barcelona, Blanca was spending a weekend in Porto for the first time and had brought in her luggage a copy of "My Sweet-Orange Tree", by José Mauro de Vasconcelos, which an aunt had given to her. She had started reading the book the day before and she was enjoying it so much that when I took her photo she was already in the last pages.
