, Ruben Pinar (C) , and Matias Tejela tip their hats as they ask permission from the president of the bullring in Pamplona to begin the spectacle on July 10, 2009 during the Fiesta de San Fermin. <br />\r\n-----------<br />\r\nI\'ve always wanted to make a shot like this of the three matadores with their hats tipped to the President of the ring, and it happened this day for a split second, and I had a pass to be with the other press photographers on the buladero. Too bad it was not Paco Camino, Antonio Ordonez and El Viti, but what the hell...!',700,700);)

Runners placed their scarves on the fence posts as a memorial to the experienced bull-runner.<br />\r\n+++++++++<br />\r\nI was hoping for a better shot of the memorial with bulls passing but the bulls were a bit spread out, steers first, and people blocking the view, so it didn\'t happen, but this is probably the only frame to incorporate the two elements.

 about concerning bulls, as I strongly hold (and have published the same) that if bullfights are ever outlawed or banned than the fight bull, or bos tauris primagenius, would cease to exist, and the animal protesters would be directly responsible for making one of "man\'s" most revered animals become extinct. Enough. I shall now post pretty pictures......',700,700);)
 and too much blood for anyone to really equate it to bull fights.',700,700);)

The toss of the coin - equal for still photographers as it is for the runners themselves.',700,700);)

Israeli Prime minister, in an affront to the Obama administration\'s request to stop building in East Jerusalem, said Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem was not negotiable and building would continue.

.jpg','14 July 2009- Pamplona, Spain. Morante de la Puebla with a bull from the Nunez del Cuvillo ranch. Maybe the best faena in the Feria del Toro in the 8-day Fiesta de San Fermin. He cut an ear on this bull. The other two matadors were carried on shoulders from the bullring, El Juli and Miguel Angel Perera, but I think Morante should have been exited that way as well. A wonderful way to end the fiesta.<br />\r\n++++++++++++<br />\r\nAs I said, I might be posting photos out of order. this is the last day. The freshest memory, perhaps. Just the order I get to things, perhaps again. Keep looking, there will be more. Rested and getting back to work, but not much to do news-wise here.',700,700);)

I\'m still sleeping one & off like I\'ve traveled around the world several times without adjusting to the local times, food, wines and pressures. It is exhausting, but who\'s complaining. I will try to post pictures from 2009 as I get to them - there will be little continuity to them - that is for sure - but I think I have some images that are nice and different and some out there might like. I might create something on Facebook to show friends but I\'m not sure how to do that and if it takes more than 30 seconds I might divert back to this blog page, so hope I don;t bore you too much. I\'ll be back to news coverage soon enough, but my fingers are secretly crossed it remains "quiet" as I can sort through the 2009 Pampy Pix... Pobre de Mi.<br />\r\n..............and very sorry for not saying goodbyes to people in the square after midnight but I was just too tired after that \'penultima\' bottle of tinto up at the Savoy....everyone have a good, safe and most-of-all, a safe year ahead. 51 weeks to go!<br />\r\n-----------------<br />\r\nThis photo was indeeed made in Pamplona. No red scarves, no glasses lifted in a toast to cheating death or sunning swiftly. Just a view of some balconies in the sun. Go figure.....',700,700);)

, June 30, 2009. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak met with U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell in New York an effort to agree on a compromise formula on settlement construction. Israel has suggested that Jewish settlers in the nearby illegal \'outpost\' settlement of Migron be transferred to Adam. <br />\r\n+++++++++<br />\r\nNot much came out of the meeting except to say too much. Netanyahu will meet with President Obama in a few weeks at which time more on the "settlement freeze" is expected...stay tuned. ',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('LENS Blog & Toreo','/images/uploaded/up_dmAmAv.jpg','One of my bullfight file photos from the Pamplona bullring, dated July 11, 2007 with Navarran matador de toros Francisco Marco and a bull from the Jandilla ranch.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nYesterday the New York Times honored me by publishing an interview about my long-standing affair with Pamplona, the running with the bulls, or "encierro," and bullfighting (toreo). I don\'t really want to correct or change anything, but maybe there is one not-so-small point I\'d like to make in defense of bullfighting. I don\'t want to justify the bullfight. That is really not up to me - the bullfight has been around in one form or another for hundreds and hundreds of years if not thousands, or tens of thousands of years. What I\'d like to bring to the readers\' attention is the fact that if it were not for the modern age bullfight, the Toro Bravo, a direct descendent of the Auroch that one sees painted on the walls of the Altimira, Lascaux and Niaux prehistoric caves, would cease to exist. The bull would be extinct in a matter of a few very short years. I won\'t go into bull breeding, as I am not able to speak of that science, but I believe all in the business, and anyone who has spent time on a bull ranch with the wild animals, agree that the Toro Bravo would become a domesticated bovine in a short time if the traits of its \'nobility\' were no longer breed into the animals. Bullfighting is not like whale hunting. Bulls are breed by humans on ranches for the single purpose of a bullfight. If there were no more bullfights, bull ranches would cease to exist as the animal is not (or can not be) displayed in a zoo or safari park. The world is up-in-arms about whale hunting, turtle shortages, and porpoises thinning out, and no one, myself included, wants to see more mammals going down the dead-end path to extinction. I do believe that is what will happen to the Toro Bravo if bullfights are outlawed, and it wouldn\'t take long. The breed, and it is a special breed, would cease to exist. A shame you might say, but worth it? I beg to differ...read your history. Do some Internet searches about bulls and bullfighting and where they have come from and how the animal is among THE most revered in all of humankind. That is justification alone for toreo, without even bringing the "art" element into it. As they say, that is for another day..... I\'m glad you\'re reading this, and hope you continue to look at my photographic work. If you got here without the link from the NYT, the story is in their LENS section, http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/ - scroll back till you see the Showcase article and slideshow. Thanks.',700,700);)
