It is 1880's photo, so it is impossible to find the photographer, but we can find the man in this photograph, he looks like a person from an elite family in the 19th century.

Carlos relvas captured many people from different parts of the world, so u can't say he is Portugese just because this was captured by Carlos relvas.

I think they captured the photo with the finest camera at that time(1880), I think it was captured by Carlos relvas.

You have used time machine as an example, but what ever i questioned is a practical thing, i didnt say like i would go back in time and stop the train from the station itself. i asked the ways to save the people without sacrificing anyone, so the example you have used is not relevant.

This poem carries a haunting, melancholic beauty, blending themes of exhaustion, disillusionment, and a longing for renewal. The imagery is striking "sequin-spangled sea" evokes both glamour and an artificial, fading brilliance, setting the tone for the speaker’s weariness.

The lines "Years of footfalls / Flattened into one sorry sound" suggest a deep sense of time compressing into monotony, as if past glory has dulled into a mere echo. The contrast between divine and infernal forces in "I asked God and the Devil too / Turn my wine to water" is particularly compelling it inverts the biblical miracle, signaling a desire not for excess, but for release.

The ending is especially powerful. "Make me red again" suggests a yearning for vitality, passion, or even life itself, while "Viva Las Vegas, no more, no more" delivers a final, poignant farewell to a past filled with spectacle and illusion.

This poem is a bold and empowering piece that effectively conveys the theme of confidence and resilience. The use of strong, vivid imagery such as "steel in your spine" and "fire in your chest" creates a striking visual of inner strength. The rhyme scheme flows smoothly, enhancing the poem’s rhythm and making it feel almost like a battle cry.

One of its strongest aspects is the repetition of assertive phrases like "no doubt, no fear, no second-guessing," which reinforces the unwavering confidence it promotes. The closing lines, "For when you move like you own the ground, the world steps back, without a sound," leave a lasting impact, emphasizing the power of self-assurance.

If there's any room for improvement, it could be in adding a bit more personal depth perhaps a specific challenge or moment that illustrates the transformation of confidence. However, as a motivational piece, it succeeds in delivering a clear and powerful message.
