A Dos Pasos Del Corazón: The Photographer Of Seville

August 11th, 2011 Travel Guide

I was impressed by this brief documentary of Juan, who is a photographer in Seville (or Sevilla) who at the age of 85 many years is nonetheless taking photographs at weddings, baptisms and communions. He has been practicing this&nbspprofession&nbspsince 1944.

The videography is by&nbspSergio Caro &nbspand&nbspErnesto Villalba, and is a tribute to simplicity. I often advise&nbspsimplicity&nbspin my&nbspmultimedia&nbspclasses, and to let the story be carried by the narrative. This video has all the components of successul storytelling through narrative…it&nbspeven&nbspincludes faded old photographs as a way to introduce Juan’s personal historical past.&nbspUnfortunately, there’s no&nbsptranslation&nbspbut I guess it is not as well challenging to&nbspunderstand&nbspwhat is being mentioned…a lot more or much less.
With that minor exception (noticed via an English-speaking prism), this is a really well developed documentary.
It brings back my childhood memories of Monsieur Phillipe who walked the beaches in Alexandria, Egypt generating photos of families, kids and friends. He employed a twin-lens reflex camera, almost certainly a Rolleiflex and would have the prints back in about two days. &nbspPossibly Greek or Armenian, Monsieur Phillipe always wore a sweat stained Panama hat, leather sandals and knee-length white shorts. I recall he had&nbspextremely&nbsphairy legs, and his sandals threw sand whenever he walked on the beaches. He possibly&nbspremained&nbspin Egypt until the late 60s.
What an&nbspinteresting&nbspsubject Monsieur Phillipe would make…in the very same vein as Juan! I’d be interested to hear from anybody&nbspwho&nbspmay have know what occurred to him.
