> "In one of the book's pages look An exhibition catalog. 1989-2015 Barcelona, ​​Lluís Ripoll Marcel Proust quote a phrase that says: "The real voyage of discovery consists not looking for new landscapes but in having new eyes." A quote that house perfectly with the photographic work of this retired 71 years with extensive and intense career, he devoted long hours to walk around with his camera Barcelona.
> 
> Luis Ripoll becomes an invisible audience, able to grasp without being seen, unique and unrepeatable moments. Surprising aspects of Old City and its inhabitants than most of us would go unnoticed. Thus we find the most authentic images of Rambla Bootblack or collector of chairs working, but also moments of relaxation painters and statues of the iconic ride. The exhibition also displays images from the beaches of Barcelona, ​​neighborhood festivals and popular culture.
> 
> The common denominator of the 47 pictures is the street life. His way of working is used as the light falls. As photographer says he flees the preciousness and seeks to capture a moment, sometimes magical, and convey an emotion in the viewer. Always in black and white, as says Dr. Ted Grant, are photographs soul. The look of this photographer is acidic, ironic but respectful."

>> I know you STILL don’t understand Catalan, but in this comment I’m glad because they mention Ted Grant, I usually mention him on the interviews but not always the full comments are posted. Next Tuesday it will be published another interview in a newspaper “El Periódico”, I have explained to the journalist who is Ted Grant and she has immediately react and recognize him for his worldwide iconic photo of the Olympic Games, up to the point that she has showed me a picture on her smartphone of her son of 16 years old only jumping to the Olympic Swimming Pool in a picture follwing Ted Grant’s inspiration from 1992!!!! our friend and GREAT MASTER!
