This photo of Mr. Ramos Horta has been taken late November 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal, when The President of East-Timor was coming out from the mosts famous cafe in Lisbon, "A Brasileira", during an official visit to Portugal.
Mr. Ramos Horta is a well known person in Portugal and has a generally broad acceptance and respect from the Portuguese people, due to his strong efforts during the campaign for the independence of East-Timor. I was surprised by his appearence in this cafe-shop, and I decided to capture him on the way out. Mr. Ramos Horta has spent part of his life in Portugal, during his diplomatic activities for the independence of his Country, and his gesture of having a coffee in this famous cafe-shop was certainly a remembrance of the old times he spent here in Lisbon.
