I've got an exhibition in October at La Rosa de Foc which I set up last night. The owner is really into photography and REALLY looked closely at my portfolio. I also met a painter called Antonio Ferrer from Huesca at the same time. He's invited me to work with a few others on a joint painting/photography exhibition. It was quite nerve wracking having people look so closely at my portfolio, but I now feel as if I'm making contacts. Let me know when you are in Barcelona. My partner is from Logroño and we have been to San Sebastian - a lovely place with great pinchos!

Hi Thomas, Casanova is in calle Pelayo close indeed to Plaza de Cataluña. Is, perhaps, the bigger second hand shop in Barcelona and has lots of Leica, Blad, etc. A visit is a must. I f you go there please tell them you are friend of Felix Maturana from San Sebastián. I am not a pro but a already retired lawyer and economist, formerly general purchasing manager of my country's steel plant, but *all* my family is on the photography business and they are well known in Spain. My father, when was 87 years old, was the oldest photograh in active and my brother, three nephews and my daughter are on the business. Of course if I go to Barcelona, I used to go for listening opera in the Liceu, I'll email you, as to others Leica users, but bear in mind that I am, as a muti brand user, in the Nikon AF list, in the Nikon MF list, in the Contax list, in the Contax G list, in the Blad list, in the Bronica list and others more, we risk to start a brand war...or meet in in the soccer stadium of Barcelona FC which has more than 100.000 places. Seriously contact me if you need something and you believe I can help and I hope to meet you in Spain or in England or elsewhere. Kind regards Félix
