July 12 2008. The Runner

Sanfermin 2008. The Running of the Bulls.
Estafeta St. A young woman waits to run the bulls. I guessed that for both of us time was running a very different pace. One would wait forever watching her eyes. A momentary lapse of beauty.

July 10 2008. Running Solo

I've always disliked Running of the Bulls pictures taken from above, but the balcony on the second floor, overlooking Council Sq. was my designated spot for July the 10th. It's quite a forgettable image but, providing I have any better from that morning, I've made my mind into posting it here.

There're some things a photographer cannot / might not avoid during our beloved festivals. Maybe it's wrong maybe it's not, but this single picture was very much praised by several journalists. Forget here any discussion on composition, color, lens used or Canon / Nikon dilemma. Photography basics.

The first running of the bulls.
Writing this, many days after Sanfermin festivals are over there's only one sure thing: my pictures on this subject, on the whole, have been a big fiasco. I'll manage, however, o post some of them, but this year's been very disapointing. After more than 20 years making pictures of the running, I cannot recall pics so dull and uninteresting. Very few of them were printed on the newspaper.
It's sheer luck, they say. Maybe is, maybe not.
