Curiosities and tech specifications.
I was impressed by Spanish mannequins. Aggressive, often exaggerate, sexy and colorful,
no matter if they were in the northern Basque region, or in southern Andalusia.
I took the 1980 photos with a Nikon FM with a 50 or 24mm lens. The film was an Agfachrome 50. Instead, in 1997 I used a Leica M3 with Visoflex, which transformed the camera into a reflex. The lens was a Leitz Tele-Elmar 135, a great sharp and tri-dimensional glass. The films I used were Kodachrome 25 or the color negative Fuji Reala.
