Feria de Abril, Sevilla
Feria began as a cattle auction. Now it’s a combination of carnival and Kentucky Derby.
Eating, drinking, dancing and dressing up are all part of the festival.
It’s not ice cream.
The balloon man.
It was one crazy scene. There was so much going on I didn’t know where to point my camera.
We left at dark. But in true Spanish style, the party goes on through the night and well into the morning.

Sevilla
Photographing people can be difficult for me when I’m traveling. That said, I couldn’t resist asking this crew for a quick snap!

Southern Spain
Córdoba, outside the walls of the Mezquita.
The Mezquita, once a mosque, was built in 785 on the foundation of a Christian church. In 1236, after Córdoba was recaptured by Fredinand III, the Mosque was reconverted into a Christian church. The Mosque was modified but still contains many Moorish architectural features.
Sometimes it’s little scenes that catch my eye! In the courtyard of the Mezquinta.

On the Wall
When walking in Madrid keep your eyes peeled. The walls hold hidden treasures.
If you walk too fast or your head is down, you might overlook a gem like this one.
Like the corner store, street art is an integral part of the neighborhoods.
Sometimes it’s creative, other times it’s a happy accident. Nothing is sacred. All public space is subject to modification.

Spring In Casa de Campo
Casa de Campo is Madrid’s largest park and one of largest in Europe. On Sunday Madrilenos flock to the park. Joggers, families, bicyclists, picnickers all make use of this great urban park! In the background you can catch a glimpse of the Royal Palace and the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de La Almudena.

Holga Spain
Every once and a while someone will ask me what I’m working on or “how is the photography going?” Well, since you asked, I’ve been printing (in the darkroom), toning, spotting and hand coloring a series of Holga photos from Spain and Portugal. I plan to have them up on my web site in the next couple of months. This photo, made in Parque Del Buen Retiro, Madrid, is a preview.
