[Leica] IMG: Barcelona

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hi Douglas!

Thank you for give me a big smile! Nice young people in one of the iconic places in Barcelona! Past week end I was with family, resting, because the previous week end I was four days following “El Rocío”, last Saturday I’ve walk 6 hours and all other days I was following “La Fiesta”. As I have mentioned in other occasions, in Catalonia there is a lot of population immigrated in the 60’s from Andalucia, this people has keep their traditions, as the Procession of Semana Santa (the Good Friday), La Feria de Abril, El Rocío … Here it is not exactly as it is in Sevilla etc… but quite similar, I’ve shoot more than 1000 pictures I have to share with the List. From Semana Santa I have a lot of pictures, shoot in Sevilla and Malaga in 1988 … I have to scan them…, also a lot in Barcelona already posted in the list, from La Feria de Abril I have scanned all the pictures and I’ve posted 5 here:

> I sent my son Jonathan on a secret mission. He has been out in Barcelona for the past week trying to find the greatest Catalan photographer in the world - Lluis Ripoll - and take a photo of him.  He failed to find him, despite pacing up and down outside his headquarters the Cafe Zurich. In the end, he went to the Primavera music festival.
