Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Manolete en Zaragoza - 1944


La lucha con el público es otra clase de lucha … Es más temible si se quiere. Al toro se le puede dominar con un pedazo de tela o de seda … Al público sólo con la sangre y con el corazón.

Manuel Rodríguez «Manolete».

Zaragoza. El Pilar, 1944
