These guys are real warriors.

It started with children of around 5 to 8 years old to end with the adults. The 6 th fight was one of the most violent fight that i saw on a ring, even in UFC, they would have stopped the fight…

Here some shots of the whole event.

I tried pretty much all the shops to get good results with my films, but it was quite hard as they never had a standard, and they lose a lot of my negatives…Anyway still have some scans of this period when i was discovering Shanghai.

In less than half an hour they take out more than half of the roof, there’s a hole in the floor of each level and 1 man per level.

They threw the roof tile at each other from the top , throught each level to finish downstairs on the street. Impressive how fast it was…and by minus 2 degres this day…

]]> http://www.thierrycoulon.com/blog/spot-of-the-day/guess-who/feed 0 http://www.thierrycoulon.com/blog/spot-of-the-day/guess-who One of my first shots http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThierryCoulon/~3/C2WGZK-3uIA/one-of-my-first-shots http://www.thierrycoulon.com/blog/souvenirs/one-of-my-first-shots#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:06:24 +0000 Thierry http://www.thierrycoulon.com/blog/?p=795 I found back one of my first shots when i was 17, several weeks after i bought my first “real” camera: a Nikon FM2.

Of course at that time digital pictures didn’t existed, so it was always a surprise (sometimes good sometime bad bad) when the film was developed.

It’s quite funny to remember the feeling of “waiting” for  the  pictures, here some scans of my first shots in B&W in Nice, with this wonderful camera.

I like theses 2 pictures, on the first one i like the solitude feeling of the woman.That day,  i just turn a corner in the Vieux Nice (old town of Nice), and saw this old woman sit down on the stairs, waiting, with some pigeons near by…so i just shot quite immediately, then at the end of the street you can notice the man arriving that is on the second picture.(at that time i didn’t noticed him as i was focus on the old woman)

I decided to make a move and take another shot of the old woman on a different angle, then the time i set my camera, the man pass by in the frame and shout at me something like: “Hey you want to make me famous ? I will be!)

I like this picture because of the feeling, it’s just in my hometown but it gave me the impression of a shot made in East Europe, with the graffiti on the wall and the attitude of the 2 persons
