nene bobo

nene bobo happened at the formidable Hotel Palácio in Estoril, Portugal on the occasion of a formal reception to some private event in the hotel.

Nene Bobo is a young apprentice of Palácio in her first year. Her task this afternoon is to offer a glass of champagne to welcome the guests. It's a classic scenery: some VIPs or wannabees arrive in high spirits, snap a glass to raise to their peers, celebrating themselves for being here and seen. The young servant quietly stands aside, hardly noticed by anyone, dressed properly in her clean, white uniform. Nene Bobo however is special: her appearance irradiates such grace and modesty that she possibly adds more touch to the venue than some of the invitees. Caught in a brief moment of inner focus, she seems to be all with herself, perfectly conscious of her role and  ready to perform. Cheers to you, Nene!
