“Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.” I really had no idea what Ernest Hemingway was talking about until I experienced my first bullfight. Yes it is exciting. Yes it is bloody. And yes it takes some time to mentally process. But I wasn’t there to judge or challenge a culture, I was there to capture and experience a rare and intimate view into the world of bullfighting. What I walked away with was a long tradition of love, passion and death in the afternoon that will always be one of the true visual characteristics of Spain.
