The
Mexican Bull Fight
by Rob Butler |

Author's Links | ||
I have been photographing for over 20 years the last 10 on a professional level. I have traveled through 18 Countries and 29 states photographing. I shoot with 35mm 2 1/4 and 4x5 cameras, shooting mostly slide film for its great saturation of color and professional standards. I also do B&W work but am tending towards more computer work as of the past 3 years. My subject mater varies, shooting travel and location work I also shoot tattoos, grave yards, classic auto, pinup style and cheesecake photography with emphasis on digital manipulation. I am also a full time studio photographer, shooting advertising and catalog work for a large import company in the NW. I have shot for magazines, and worked for clients such as Nintendo and Microsoft. I have been showing my work in galleries and spaces since 1989, and have worked as a board member of a local gallery. Steeped
in centuries of tradition, the bull fight continues into the 21st century.
It was my first time at a bull fight, and with press box seats I set up
my cameras. What follows is my account at the "La Paloma" bull ring in
Puerto Vallarta Jal. A small and tourist bull ring frequented by mostly
white American tourist and featuring only young and amateur bull fighters,
working their way up to the coliseum sized stadium bull ring, "Plaza De
Toros" in Guadalajara. There were on "Ole's" from the crowd here, just
Americans randomly yelling. These photos are all from La Paloma, the photos
taken from the Plaza De Toros are of much higher artistic quality, but
legal rights are being negotiated for usage of them now, so they can not
be displayed at this time. |
