Photographer’s Note

just back from Madrid for the pride march with another Te member, Miguel. We both shot like mad...

It was a very important event for it was the first pride march after the June 30th law that authorized same sex marriage and adoption for Lesbians and gays.

So i shall start with this one to get you in the mood.. so more to come from Spain....

Hey Eric! It's obvious that you had a great time. I already heard from Miguel as well. Well, there was enough reason for it, too, to have a big party.
Nice portrait, Eric, I love the twinkle in his eyes! he's dressed in nice colors, but it must be ver hot in that plastic. Nice looks, nice angle, not straight in the front.
I am curious after your pics!

For a long time I don't check your photos. This one shows a classic composition, but succeeded by the colours and expression.

Nice one, and what an outfit. I like his expression, I guess he must be happy with the new law (if he wants to get married one day?). It makes me think that if a catholic country like spain can introduce this law then why not the whole of europe?
Bring it on

Salut Eric.
Joli portrait coloré.
J'aime bien tout ce orange qui vient comblé les trous.
Les reflets donnent également un petit plus.
Bien vu.
Fred

Hola caballero:
¿Dónde se escondía este rostro que yo no ví? Se parece a al Princesa Amidala de "La guerra de las Galaxias". Un placer conocerle. Besos mil.

C'est ton travail de couleur ici qui m'eblouis, Eric. Le contraste delicat entre l'orange transluscide de sa coiffe avec la peau grisatre. Une fidelite des tons extraordinaire. Sand parler de la tres gentille expression et du pique des yeux. Ok. Superbe portrait, voila. Amicalement, Francis

Hi Eric.
Wonderful expression of his face: he is happy. And the photo is saying it to us (and I think that we know why is happy).
Not only well captured, very representative of a very important date in Spain.
Regards from Spain.

Salut Eric,
Ca devait être un super moment a la fois festif et émouvant...

une grande satisfaction et un grand soulagement.
Beau portrait
Merci
Laetitia

Salut Eric !
Très beau portrait !
Un joli regard, un costume très coloré pour fêter comme il se doit cette magnifique avancée en Espagne pour les droits des homos.
Quand la France va-t-elle suivre ???

Great day for Spain, great day for civil rights everywhere! Must have been a great fiesta! I would have liked to be there ...

Who knows when we will be able to celebrate someting similar in Italy ... Even the PACS would be a great achievment ...

Thanks for sharing this colourful dcumentation and important note!

A great capture, Eric! What a strange outfit with all the plastic - hope it wasn't too hot for that guy!

Glad to hear about the June 30th law. Two guys who live around the corner from me adopted a little boy 4 years ago...he's one of my daughter's best friends. She doesn't even question why he has two dads!

Good luck to you!

Bonsoir Eric,
Un très beau portrait plein d’optimisme,
ce que j'aime bien ici c'est que l'on devine la personne derrière le déguisement.
Une photo qui a une âme.
Bravo.

Tom
