It can be an interesting and constructive experience to look back at former years of the “fiesta de Sanfermin” to check out some of the aspects of the fiestas in the old days. Some things have changed and disappeared while others have changed for the better. And one of the best ways to do this is by checking out some of the material that the Magnum Photo Agency has accumulated over the years from such renowned photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Inge Morat, or Josef Koudelka, among many others who worked with this agency.
Today, we would recommend taking a look at some of the work of Josef Koudelka who took photos of the fiestas between 1972 and 1978 in Pamplona. Some of his photos can be seen at the Magnum web site, where it is also possible to acquire copies of his photos and where you can also find some of this author’s books.
Some of the snapshots and images defy explanation such as the one below, – A Running of the Bulls? The Bull Ring?
