BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION
In a country as is this of ours, in which the abandonment of secular traditions seems to be the watchword of a very often misunderstood and stale flag false modernity, it remains paradoxical and copy the fact that a group of thirty-four photographers, from very different points of the Spanish, have put their cameras and their good work in the service of aggrandizement and exaltation of one of the most beautiful traditions and greater burden of feeling that takes place in countless other Spanish towns, the celebration of Easter.
Thirty-four wizards of light, which is far from unidirectional photographers, they have seen fit yet to leave momentarily other photographic disciplines to set their goals so solemn and exciting celebration, and through his own personal perception, transmit seventy-two shots the most intimate moments, most beautiful, heartfelt and, in many cases, less noticeable in this ritual that is repeated at the beginning of each new spring, thereby giving his personal interpretation of a tradition rooted in the religious popular, and leaving no verbal testimony for future generations.
But while the photographs are always a way to make history and the everyday reality is no less true that the work that we now have these photographers do not conform to meet the very mission of witness, of telling facts, but seeking, and perhaps get, convey the feelings and experiences of their authors, how to interpret their creators.
This is not surprising when you consider that all of them combine two common passions: photography, and of course, Holy Week, which is reflected in the status of associate member of the majority of them.
What we have before our eyes is an extensive collection of seventy-two sequences, full of nuances, a collection united by the common bond of Holy Week, but also separate the different way of seeing the photographers, and differentiating particularities of the different Easter celebrations in it are represented.
Something that makes the exhibition "Images" A tradition is a coral sample, multiple, varied and rich in content and nuance, so much so that the collection goes beyond the Spanish borders to show the works of authors from across the Atlantic.
A tradition in images is the second meeting point for a handful of photographers who wanted to capture in this photo and expresses their common love for a religious event such as plasticity and beauty is the popular celebration of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
His was the first common website http://www.flickr.com in which, during the past year within the Artistic Photography group Cofrade have been sharing ideas, experiences, knowledge and work, and thanks to which today you can feel proud to show to you a compendium of compelling images, round, diverse, and more importantly, felt, deeply felt.
