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 profession since 1944.
The videography is by Sergio Caro  and Ernesto Villalba, and is a tribute to simplicity. I
often advise simplicity in my multimedia classes, and to let the story be carried by the narrative. This video has all the components of successul
storytelling through narrative…it even includes faded old photographs as a way to introduce Juan’s personal historical past. Unfortunately, there’s no translation but I guess it is not as well challenging to understand what 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.  Possibly
Greek or Armenian, Monsieur Phillipe always wore a sweat stained Panama hat, leather sandals and knee-length white shorts. I recall he had extremely hairy legs, and his sandals threw sand whenever he walked on the beaches. He possibly remained in Egypt until the late 60s.
What an interesting subject Monsieur Phillipe would make…in the very same vein as Juan! I’d be interested to hear
from anybody who may have know what occurred to him.
