A horizontal black-and-white photograph showing a street from the spectators' viewpoint. In the foreground, across the lower part of the image, several people sit on chairs facing the centre of the street. On the left, men and women stand. Many wear wide-brimmed hats. Metal barriers separate the spectators from the central space and follow the procession's route. In the background, at the centre of the photograph, two oxen walk down the street accompanied by people. Behind them are other participants and elements of the procession. Spectators line both sides of the road. On the left, a large tent stands in front of commercial buildings. On the right, more people watch the procession pass. Poles, electrical wires, trees and buildings form part of the urban landscape. The sky occupies the top of the photograph. The image shows the procession still in the distance, while the public gathers to await its approach.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a large gathering of people and ox carts on a city street. The scene is viewed from an elevated position, partly obscured by dark, out-of-focus elements in the foreground. At the bottom are blurred shapes: hats that seem to belong to people closer to the camera. Two dark vertical bands cross the image from top to bottom; these are long goads carried by the ox-cart drivers. A crowd fills the centre and left of the street. Many people wear hats of different shapes and sizes. Among them are oxen and parts of ox carts, recognizable by their large circular wheels and wooden structures. Several electrical wires cross the upper part of the photograph horizontally, creating overlapping lines between the camera and the scene. Trees, buildings, poles and traffic signs appear in the background. On the right, the street continues into the distance. Some people walk along a pavement shaded by trees. Nearby, road signs stand in front of a building. The photograph brings the crowd, animals, ox carts and urban landscape into a single frame. The overlapping people, objects, wires and structures create a visually intense scene in which different elements compete for attention.

A horizontal black-and-white photograph with an ox's head and part of its body in the foreground. The animal fills almost the entire photograph. Its head faces the camera, tilted slightly towards the left of the image. Its dark muzzle is near the lower centre, with a spot of light on one nostril. The coat has broad light and dark areas: it is a spotted animal, though the patches are few and small. The centre of its head and its body are mostly light, while dark patches surround its eyes and the upper muzzle. A large area on the left side of its face is in shadow. The eye on the viewer's right is clearly visible. The inner part of an identification tag appears as a small circular shape in the middle of the ear. Part of the yoke is visible at the top. Behind the ox, on the left, part of another animal's head can be seen. There is also the blurred figure of a young cattle driver in a dark hat and a light long-sleeved shirt. Strong light emphasizes the texture of the coat and creates a sharp contrast between illuminated areas and shadows. The tight framing brings the viewer close to the animal's face, making its presence dominate the image.

A vertical black-and-white photograph. At the centre, a young ox-cart driver in traditional clothing walks holding a goad in his right hand, resting it on his shoulder and pointing it upwards and behind him. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved shirt, jeans with a large oval belt buckle, and boots. The name Pedro can be read on the chest of his shirt. His body faces forward while his face points downwards. His expression is serious and focused. In front of and below him are a wheel and the structure of an ox cart, made of woven material and covered with a cowhide blanket. Part of the last ox pulling the cart appears at the right edge. In the background, another ox cart is immediately behind the young man. An ox appears on either side of him, attached to the yoke. Another driver is visible at the back on the right, along with parts of a town house. The photograph draws attention to the man and his position among the ox carts. The framing highlights his presence within the structure involved in movement and guidance.

A vertical black-and-white photograph with a close-up view of an ox's body. Most of the image is filled by the animal's back, loin and hindquarters. In the left foreground, its rear is seen very close up. Light falls on its coat, revealing the texture of the hair and the volume of bones and muscles. The body extends to the right, filling almost the entire height of the photograph. A strip of light touches the top of its back, while the lower regions remain deeply shadowed. The same contrasting light and texture continue throughout. The animal's face is outside the frame, which ends at the hump. Other oxen are partly visible in the background. Their bodies overlap, forming a sequence of light and dark volumes. Between them, dark areas make it difficult to tell where one animal ends and another begins. The photograph shows neither faces nor the surrounding setting. It focuses exclusively on the ox's body and its closeness to the other animals, highlighting forms, textures and the intense contrast between light and shadow.

A vertical black-and-white photograph. At the centre, filling much of the frame, are an ox cart and the last ox helping to pull it on the right side of the yoke. The animal faces away from the camera and is shown in full, from its horns at the top to its hind legs in the lower centre. Strong light from the left reveals the texture of its coat, creating intensely lit areas and others in shadow. To the left of the ox, in the foreground, is a large wooden cartwheel. It stands almost vertically and fills much of the centre. Its rim has a sequence of protruding pieces, called piões: iron pins that pass through the metal tyre into the wood, reinforcing the wheel and improving grip on slippery or steep descents. Behind and above the wheel, on the left, part of the cart's wooden frame is visible. Beams, chains and other components are partly lit, while the interior remains dark. Other animals appear partly on the right, in front of the cart. Dark shapes behind and above suggest more carts and animals. A small light-coloured building and horizontal wires appear at the upper right. Side lighting creates a strong contrast between the lit bodies and wood and the deeply dark regions. The composition brings oxen and cart close together, visually emphasizing the relationship between the animals and the structure of the whole.

A vertical black-and-white photograph. At the centre, a person stands before a light, textured wall, framed approximately from the hips up. She is a woman who drives ox carts. She wears a long-sleeved coat or jacket, light at the centre of the torso and dark on the sleeves and other areas. A wide-brimmed straw hat covers her head. Her face is almost entirely hidden by her hands and divided by the goad, a long wooden pole held vertically in front of her body. One hand, near the top of the image, holds the pole close to face level. The other appears lower, closed and resting on the goad in a resting pose. The wooden goad is long, narrow and irregular, resembling an unfinished branch or stick. It extends vertically from the bottom to the upper edge; its tip is not visible. On the left, behind the woman, is a dark rectangular surface: a roughcast wall with the metal housing of an electricity meter. At the lower left is a rounded, blurred shape close to the camera, the top of a young ox's head. Light falls on the hat, hands and pale part of the clothing, while the face remains hidden in shadow. Long hair frames the concealed face. The composition focuses on the gesture of the hands and the relationship between body, hat and goad.

A horizontal black-and-white photograph showing a man beside an ox's head, as if the ox were kissing the driver's face. The man, framed from the waist up, occupies the left half. He stands sideways to the camera, facing the ox, while turning his face to the right to look at the photographer. He wears a large, wide-brimmed straw hat. Its brim casts a deep shadow over his eyes, leaving mainly the nose, mouth and part of the face visible. A small part of his goad appears above the hat. He wears a dark long-sleeved shirt with large light patterns on the sleeve and back. A light band with partly visible lettering runs along one sleeve. One hand is visible at the bottom, resting at his waist. On the right, filling much of the image, is the dark-coated ox's head. It faces the driver, showing one eye, the side of its face and part of an ear extending towards the right edge. The animal's mouth and nostril reach the driver's face at ear level, giving him a kiss. Its head fills almost the full height. Behind them is a light, textured wall with two small meter boxes near the upper centre and a small light-coloured letterbox to their right. Below is part of another, light-coated ox: part of its head, left eye and wrinkled skin. The light creates a strong contrast: the wall and hats are pale, while most of the man's body and the ox's head remain dark. Their closeness is the composition's central element.

A vertical black-and-white photograph with a close-up of part of an ox-cart driver riding an animal, possibly a horse or mule. The fragmented framing does not show the whole scene. It draws attention to the driver's leg, spurred boot, tack and the animals' bodies, gathering details of riding and guidance in one frame. At the centre is the lower part of a leg in jeans. The booted foot rests in a stirrup, with a spur at the back of the boot. Beside the leg, part of the leather securing the saddle is visible. On the right, along the animal's hindquarters, is a series of metal rings belonging to the breeching, part of the complete decorative tack used by the driver. A tuft of mane hair hangs from the last ring. The ridden animal's body fills almost the entire image, extending from the centre to the left. On the right and at the bottom is a small stretch of street soiled with droppings from passing animals. At the top, part of another animal's coat and tail can be seen.

A vertical black-and-white photograph tightly framing a rider's head and his horse. The animal fills most of the image. Its coat is white with large dark patches from the muzzle to the ears and nape. Its head faces left, with both ears upright at the top. A thin rope runs around its muzzle and head. On the right side of its face, as seen by the viewer, thicker ropes, knots and metal pieces form part of the reins. They run vertically down the face and towards the bottom. At the lower right, more ropes and a circular metal piece complete the guiding reins. Behind the horse, at the upper right, a young ox-cart driver is partly visible. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a pale shirt with a subtle checked pattern. His face is in profile, almost entirely obscured by the shadow of the hat and the horse's mane. Parts of his nose, mouth and ear are visible. A thin, bright band crosses the centre diagonally in front of the horse's head. Below it, dark, blurred foreground shapes partly obscure the scene; they belong to another animal and its adornments. Backlighting highlights texture and contrasts the pale coat with the large dark patches. The composition brings horse, man and guiding equipment together in one space.

A horizontal black-and-white photograph showing a person in motion from the waist down. The person, a child taking part as an ox-cart driver, occupies the centre and runs along a street soiled with debris left by the animals. The child wears loose dark trousers held by a belt, and fringed leather chaps fastened at the waist with a light metal buckle. The legs are caught in different positions mid-stride. The right leg is forward and bent, with the foot in the air, while the left stays behind with only the toes touching the ground. The child wears dark boots. On both sides, the chaps swing with the motion despite being fastened to the legs. In the background, other people are partly visible, with only legs and feet showing, along with the bottom of a small kiosk or portable toilet. These figures are out of focus across the top. Strong light falls on the ground, creating a large pale area that contrasts with the dark clothes, boots and objects. The frame cuts off the body above the waist and focuses on the legs' running movement.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a group of men on horseback in a street. In the foreground, filling most of the lower half, is the body of a light-coloured horse seen from the side. Its front is outside the frame; only the back, flank and hindquarters appear across the centre and lower right. A rope curves around its hindquarters, with a small metal join in the middle, and continues beside its leg out of the bottom of the frame. On the horse sits a preteen child wearing a large dark wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. The child wears a pale long-sleeved shirt and raises one hand to the mouth, holding something to eat. The same hand loosely holds the reins, while the left rests in front on the saddle. The face is partly shaded by the hat and turned to the right. Behind the child and horse, three older but still young drivers sit in a line on their horses. Between them and the child stands an adult in a dark hat, head lowered towards a phone held in his hands. All three young riders wear matching long-sleeved shirts with small checks. The first and last have neckerchiefs. The last wears a light hat, the first two dark hats; the first has a feather on the left. All face right, though the first looks at a phone held in both hands. A large wall fills the upper right, painted with the word “BRASTEMP”, other text and telephone numbers partly hidden by a no-parking sign. A roof and another façade appear on the left. Riders and animals occupy different planes, facing the same direction, creating a scene of encounter and waiting within the movement of the gathering.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a man standing and leaning on his horse's back, both almost facing away from the viewer. At the centre and left, the man bends forward with his upper body resting on what appears to be his riding horse. His back is at roughly 45 degrees to the viewer. He wears a dark wide-brimmed hat decorated with small light elements on the crown. The hat conceals his entire head. He wears a light T-shirt with a design on the back, jeans and a leather belt. At his waist is a guaiaca, a wide leather belt with pockets for small objects. Behind him on the left are a dark horse's head and part of a light ox: an upright ear, part of the face and muzzle. A dark band crosses the horse's muzzle. On the right, in the foreground, his light-coated mount's hindquarters fill much of the photograph. Its tail falls along the right side. A thick dark blanket and a coiled lasso sit on its back. Between man and animal is a metal-and-leather driving strap; part of the breast-collar chain is visible farther back. The background is mostly dark, with indistinct parts of other animals and structures. Strong light on the man's shirt and the foreground animal's coat highlights hair, rope and fabric textures. The composition brings their bodies close together, with man, animal and equipment sharing the same space with little separation.

A horizontal black-and-white photograph with a very close view of three horses or mules standing side by side. Only their heads are shown in sequence, all facing right. The first is at the left, closest to the camera; the third is on the right, farthest away. The animals fill almost the whole photograph, with only small glimpses of the setting between and behind them. On the left is a light-coated horse. Much of the side of its head is visible, and its ear casts a shadow on the neck. The middle and farthest animals have dark coats. All stand in sunlight and wear bridles made of ropes, braided leather and metal rings, each different from the others. Their eyes are lowered while their faces point forward. Strong sunlight emphasizes differences in coat colour and the textures of hair, ropes and metal. The tight frame brings the three close together, their heads filling almost the entire field of view.

A vertical black-and-white portrait of an ox-cart driver wearing a wide-brimmed hat. In the foreground, filling most of the left and central area, a man is seen in profile facing right. He wears a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat whose brim casts a deep shadow over the upper face, almost entirely hiding his eyes. He has a short beard and moustache. His nose, mouth and part of his chin appear in profile. He wears a light long-sleeved shirt with a collar and a visible chest pocket. An intense band of light crosses the top of the hat diagonally, touching his lips and chin, neck and shirt at the left shoulder. The rest of his body remains in deep shadow. He is a handsome adult ox-cart driver with a focused gaze. Another man is partly visible behind him on the right. He too wears a wide-brimmed hat and a checked shirt. His face is partly hidden by the foreground driver's hat and the shadow of his own. A large, dark, out-of-focus area covers the lower frame, concealing their bodies below chest level. Indistinct shapes and other areas of light and shadow form the background. The composition focuses on the foreground man, his hat and face, and the contrast between intense light and the dark areas crossing the photograph.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing part of an ox's head and the driver guiding it. On the left is the head of a light-coated animal in profile, facing towards the lower right. One ear projects downwards. Its curved horn leaves the base of the head, descends, then curves upwards and back. Light falls on the side of the face, emphasizing the short hair and outline of the muzzle. Beside and slightly ahead of the animal, occupying the centre and right, is a young ox-cart driver. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved shirt over a light checked shirt, with only part of the collar showing. Like the animal, his face appears in profile facing right. His hat shades his eyes and part of his face. Close to his body he holds a long thin goad that crosses the photograph diagonally, from the lower region towards the upper left. Another person is partly visible behind him at the upper right, almost entirely in shadow. The background is mostly dark, making the light on the animal's head and parts of the man's face and clothing stand out. The framing brings them close and focuses on the shared presence of driver and animal.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a man from the chest up in a mostly dark setting. He occupies the right half and centre. He wears a dark wide-brimmed hat that covers the top of his head completely and casts a deep shadow over his forehead and right eye. His face turns slightly to the left. A band of light strikes the right side, revealing skin, eyebrow, a partly visible eye, nose, mouth and ear. The left side remains almost entirely shadowed. He has short stubble. He wears a pale long-sleeved buttoned shirt with a high collar; the yoke, collar and cuffs are darker. Over the left chest is a dark emblem with partly legible lettering, and on the right a printed rosary. Parts of the shirt receive strong light while others remain dark. On the left of the photograph, one hand grips a goad, a long vertical wooden pole beside the edge. The fingers curve tightly around it. The background is almost completely dark, with no clearly identifiable elements. The strong contrast isolates the face, hand and parts of the clothing from the surrounding space.

A vertical black-and-white photograph. In the lower left, a man appears in profile facing right. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved checked shirt. His face is mainly a silhouette, with the nose, mouth and chin outlined against the bright sky. His right arm extends forward, holding a goad, a long thin pole with a small iron tip. It rises vertically through the centre-right, almost reaching the top, with small irregularities and a slight lean to the right. His hand grips it at about face height. His other arm is not visible and stays beside his body. Most of the upper half is bright sky with areas of smoke from an unseen barbecue stall. Denser, lighter smoke gathers behind the man on the left. Urban elements fill the bottom and right. Several poles of different heights and many electrical wires cross diagonally, running from the driver's waist level to his outstretched hand. At the lower far right, part of an ox cart's top is visible. The man and goad form a mainly vertical composition against the sky. His dark figure contrasts with the luminous background, while poles and wires introduce a strong urban presence.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a very close view of the back and side of an ox cart. The cart's body fills almost the whole upper and central area. Its cover is made of woven bamboo strips, aged and worn by use. At the rear is a closing board, the tombador, where small vertical wooden stakes called fueiros are tied to the cart for support. Various objects sit inside. Folded dark fabrics or blankets appear at the upper centre, above a light rectangular box or container. Farther right is a large, rounded dark flask used for water, with a rope tied to its handle and partly hidden by the board. At the upper right, structural wooden pieces stand out; one thick diagonal piece appears to be a yoke. Ropes and ties surround them. Beneath the cart, at the centre, is part of a light-coated dog with dark patches. It walks under the cart with its legs in different positions, one raised. Its head is partly visible on the right, facing right. A metal chain and a short horn attached to the cart obscure part of it, as does the cart itself. At the far left, only the legs of a driver walking alongside are visible, in dark trousers and boots. A thin rope hangs from the cart parallel to the legs, nearly touching the asphalt. The ground fills the bottom, level but covered with coarse dry manure trampled by passing animals, creating an uneven texture of patches and marks. A small light object and a few leaves lie at the lower right. The close framing highlights the relationship between the wooden frame, carried objects, ties and animal beneath it. The whole is shown in fragments, never fully revealed.

A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a group of people gathered close together and an ox passing by. Across the full width of the bottom are the backs of two oxen seen very close up. The animals are almost outside the frame; mainly their upper bodies and the start of one neck are visible. Their coats are light with visible texture. Behind them, people gather in layers against a pale wall. Almost all are in profile, showing the right side of the face and looking right. In the nearest layer, at the lower centre, a woman wears sunglasses, an earring, a face mask covering nose and mouth, and a patterned long-sleeved blouse. She holds a straw hat by the crown, raising it in front of her face. The hat occupies a large central area and hides some people behind. At the far left, cropped by the frame, are a man's hand and shoulders as he holds a mobile phone. In the second layer on the left, a young woman in profile, with a pale jacket and long braid, yawns. On the right, an older man in a light shirt with a dark backpack worn in front watches the procession. At the centre, in the third layer, a middle-aged man wears a light cap and dark polo shirt, facing right and looking outside the frame. Behind him, near the upper centre, a woman in light clothes appears between two men. She faces the camera but looks right. The young man in front of her wears a dark cap and striped shirt, head lowered, with a full medium-length beard. On the right, the other, older man wears dark clothes and a dark cap, touching his temple with an index finger. Other people are partly cropped at the far right. The pale wall has the texture of an old but well-preserved building. At the lower left are a darker strip and a wooden column; on the right, stone steps. This is part of Trindade's main parish church. The photograph gathers different expressions and gestures: watching, talking, holding hats, using phones and responding to what unfolds. In front, the ox's body visually separates camera and people, bringing animal and spectators into the same image.
