[Leica] In the Flea Market "Els Encants"

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hi Ted! mon ami! Bonjour!

Thank you very much for looking and your comment! I had these series from last April without sharing because my opinion about these pictures was not so positive compared with the comments I’ve received, I’m very happy you liked them and this encourage me to post more and be less critic with my own work, maybe because I’ve know the market as it was 20 years ago and I remember such genre of images. I remember the days we had together in Barcelona and I consider me a lucky man to have had the opportunity to share with you and other friends such wonderful time!!! I’m very happy to read you and see your energy always optimistic and I’m sure you will celebrate the May 27 / 2029, don’t worry if you can’t hold a camera, as HCB said it is an ilusion think that pictures are made with a camera, they are made with our heart, our head and our eyes, a famous catalan photographer Francesc Català Roca was always saying that his best pictures was the ones he had on his head and he coudn’t took….!

I know the pictures on your website and I always admire your energy and optimism, I really would like be with you May 27/2029 …. I hope so!

Cheers mon ami!
Lluis
