A fitting mural, for the greatest. Lovely PP and colour tones.
vz-nostalgia: Those are not murals, fotografa, but the paintings on the plywood sheets nailed to the exterior wall of the gym. I'm surprised they survived the Atlanta summer heat for so long.
Excellent shot,Viktor;
but I've never understood that "sport"...
Good day!
vz-nostalgia: There is not much to understand in that sport, Ms. Isabel. Two guys try to damage each other's brains by beating the crap out of each other for the money.
am curious why this is one of the last in business? recession problems? although you would think people who box would be quite fanatical about it, and keep it up no matter what (not that i've ever boxed, or ever will...so i don't know what i'm talking about
strong image!
vz-nostalgia: Maybe it's time to joind the gym, Ms. Eliza, if only to learn what you were talking about here.
Hard to think of a more loved figure from the sporting world. So sad to see his decline.
vz-nostalgia: I think he did more good outside the ring than he did inside, Bill. His input into the Civil Rights movement, the fight against the war in Vietnam is hard to overrate.
The photograph, though, is not about him.
vz-nostalgia: The second we hit the post button, our control over people's perception of our image is over. Sometimes, I attempt to retain it through the use of words, a short sketch or a title, but for the most part it is out of our hands.
Nostalgic and bittersweet would be very good words to describe the mood I tried to convey here. You didn't misread it, Ms. Nadia. You are fine-tuned to Nostalgia.
One of the most recognisable of all faces.
Ray: One of the most recognisable of all faces.
VZ: Could be, Ray, but it's not why I took the picture.
