Recapitulation all over again

Matador Practice

The old feeder is throwing out almost everything at the feedlot. I did decide to box up photographs, slides and negatives. In the process I came upon the photo above. It is one of the first pictures I ever took, maybe the first one that wasn't hopelessly blurry.

I used to like to watch wannabe bull fighters practice their passes. These cats were full of bravado and self-confidence; they made an impression on a 9 year old yo. They had coaches that charged them with a sort of wheel-barrow contraption that had bull horns mounted on the front. With this it was possible to simulate the movements that are peculiar to individual bulls.

Maybe I'll post a few more old pictures.
