Although very historic and quite entertaining, I found bullfighting to be a bit inhumane. Anyways…this was a crazy experience.
We all know that Europeans have no social bubble, meaning that they are completely ok with being CLOSE to one another.
This bull ring had about 3,000 seats but I am sure we managed to fit 5,000 people into it. Not for the claustrophobic for sure.
We got there late, so finding our seats was one of the most anxiety-stricken experiences that I’ve ever been through.
“Excuse me guys, Here’s comes a 6′3″ American with an oversized backpack to sit on your lap.” I managed, took advantage of the language barrier and buried my face in my hasselblad xpan the whole time.

Unbelievable! Such an insane shot
This is a stupid question, but does the coloring come straight out of the camera from the film you shot? Or some sort of post processing/ darkroom process.
-That digital idiot
To me, film has always been and will always be…..”what you see is what you get.” Thats what I love about it. It is what it is. That is how the film looks. Thats why digital is such a backward medium for me to work in. I have to switch my thinking to…”what do i want this to look like?” AFTER the shot has been taken, rather than BEFORE. You can have a idea, but you still have so much leniency in the post production part. VIVA LA FILM…..ha. buy it up before its all gone.
