Nazarenos, Holy Week, 2001 (Cordova, Andalucia, Spain)

This is a real and *religious* procession, during Holy Week in all

Spain, specially strong in the southern Andalucia. It is NOT a KKK

march. Probably I will someday investigate where the connection is

between this two similar dressed -but with very different purposes-

groups. Thanks in advance for your comments and rates.

In the US you're going to have lots of trouble and misunderstanding with this. It would be helpful to know and explain the Spanish tradition.

I like the way you kept focus in the middle of the field, it softens the close figure in front and move my eyes around.

 

The KKK probably stole the outfit.. I mean, you have wonder where they came up with it... not exactly the creative types.

This looks too similar to a KKK rally for comfort. When I saw the thumbnail I almost didn't open it because of that. I think you are in for a lot of misunderstanding with this one.

I'm sure there's better information out there. Just one that I stumbled on..

Some better, full english info..

I thought it was a KKK thing as well until I spotted the crest on the hoods at neck level.. At any rate, hope you all like the reading info I noted...

Nestor, striking image. Good thing you explained the religious and Spanish context here. It removes a possibly pejorative meaning.

A very "pointed" image! :)

Nicely done.

This one's a lot better, though. . . .

 

The OOF guy in the front works well in this case, as does the location of the staff on the right.
