running of the bulls

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Worldwide | Saturday, August 21, 2010 | 5 photos

Hi, I’m José Luis
Why to choose me?
Because already for three years I cannot photograph the most I like, other countries and cultures, which took me to discussions in my last trip, our honeymoon for India with my wife because of the photos, but this was a trip from which there arose an exhibition that has crossed all my province.
I have travelled across India, Tunis, Egypt, Thailand, Maldives, Turkey, China, Paris, Rome, always with my camera, trying to learn for myself, and this scholarship is a great opportunity to increase knowledge and evaluate myself.
Since India, I’ve photographed my baby, my city and his world known festival, the San Fermín, and,
there is the HISTORY, the famous ones " running of the bulls ".
After a night of festival, wine and music, there are people who wants to run in front of the bulls, still with the glass in the hand, there are others who waits sleeping to see the bulls running, the police clear the tour for cleanning and to be removed by "elements" that must not be, which can looks for the "best" seat, and everything for a few seconds of dizzy and brutal career in which you can have the bad luck of staying as the boy under the bull with the legs for above, Australian certainly, that happens 40 days in the hospital.
That’s all, enjoy it, thank you and sorry for my English.
