On Monday morning, I flew from Madrid to Seville. On the plane with me were the players and coaches from one of the two Primera Liga teams in Seville, Real Betis, who were on their way home after an away game in Santander in the north of Spain. It was an ordinary league game, which Betis had won. In Spain, there is enormous media attention on football (soccer) players; not only the big teams like Real Madrid, but also middling ones like Real Betis. When we arrived in Seville, all the local media--radio, TV, newspapers--seemed to be there and immediately pounced on the players in the baggage claim area. I was there with my little CL. Here are two of the players coming into the baggage hall, with a photographer at the ready: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7.jpg Another player being interviewed: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7alt1.jpg This player did not actually seem to mind the attention and was quite cooperative with the press: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7alt2.jpg But these two guys look decidedly bored and miserable: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7alt3.jpg Not many film cameras in evidence, this guy is checking his images: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7alt4.jpg All the above pictures with Leica CL, 40mm Rokkor, on Ilford Delta 400. You may recall that last week I asked about using a 21mm Voigtlander on the CL. Stephen Gandy assured me that it would work, and the last alternate is proof that it does (including the metering). A group of young people are hanging out in the evening under the Puente de Triana: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_7alt5.jpg The complete PAW index is at: http://www.nathanfoto.com/indexpaw2004.html and comments/critique are always welcome and appreciated.
