Eyes in the Igapó As soon as the girl turned her face, the flash light tore through the darkness of the igapó (flooded forest) in the Breves region of Pará. I had been waiting for this moment for a few minutes. Occasionally, the girl turned her head to receive silent instructions from her father, who was at the stern with another paddle behind me. Sometimes the photographer is cruelly indiscreet and coldly plans his capture of light.
