casa cadiz, Luis Ramon Marin, and Luis's new place

I love the little bars in the center of Madrid that don't feel like you're in the center of a grand metropolis. Plus you get tapas with your beverage (not customary outside of andalucia).


This next shot was taken in my friend Luis's house. He was busy working on a new Dj session on Reason (a fantastic synth software) taking in the afternoon sun.


And this last shot was taken before going to see a great show of photographic work by Luis Ramón Marín from ~1920-1935 of Madrid. It was pretty spectacular to see some large format black and white shots printed extremely large that give a fantastic visual history of madrid. I also had a great conversation with an 88 year old man who was a prisoner of war during the Civil War here in Spain, and showed me the document proving the fact. Unfortunately I didn't get any shots of him. Looking back, that was really the one that got away this week....

I was watching this girl not move and watch everyone around her, while they sped by.
