Great shots... I have never been to one of those places, and I don't like to bet, but the anxious feeling can be felt through your images... The atmosphere is a bit crazy or decadent... Isn't it?

Very interesting shots!

All good. I've seen the jockeys picture before somewhere.

 

[le vrai rdu]

Thanks 🙂

The atmosphere isn't anxious, just crazy 😀 but quite nice in fact, peolple worry about the result of the race but are quite nice talkative and agree to be pictured 🙂

It is quite a strange place were people act quite freely I would say 🙂
Horse race is something to be seen IMHO 🙂

 

[Juan Valdenebro]

Yes, that's it! They're so permissive with their attitude being all together... A nice circus to shoot, with all respect... Hope I never end up with the same face of that man... By the way, that second shot is fantastic: one of those unforgettable for life ones, like some shots by HCB... It has a classic something... Maybe it was THE moment for that expectation... Congratulations!


Cheers,

Juan

This picture's been in my head for weeks--it's one of the most memorable pictures I've ever seen on flickr. I'm actually kind of wanting to buy a print from you, if I make some money in the next couple months.

Thanks mabelsound and Juan 🙂

I would be glad to send you a print 🙂 let me know when you can 🙂

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

If you like something of mine, I'd be happy to trade you, too. Otherwise sit tight...

It's really amazing, how they look to different places with the same intensity, each one lost inside their own universes... Like all of us... That's where that photograph's universality lays... Wow!

I've got to agree with everyone... excellent images. they feel very frozen in time, as if they were made many years ago. i think it's a combination of the style of the place and of your images. great work, absolutely.

great pix w/ some nice simple CV gear taken by a skilled fotog; curious what kind of film you used?

 

[le vrai rdu]
