Arrels d'Esparraguera / Family roots

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Fotografia feta amb la Hasselblad SWC, fabricada el 1976; Kodak Gold 200, revelat amb el kit C41 de Bellini i el control de temperatura Cinestill TCS-1000.

 

Aquesta és la primera vegada que vaig pel centre d'Esparreguera, cosa que tenia pendent ja que el meu avi patern hi tenia les arrels familiars. Pel que deia el meu pare, fins hi tot de jove feien una "iniciació" consistent en voltar la barana del campanar (el 2on més alt de Catalunya)... per fora!

=====================

 

Picture taken with a Hasselblad SWC, made in 1976; Kodak Gold 200, developed with the C41 kit by Bellini and the temperature control system Cinestill TCS-1000.

 

This is the first time I've been in the town of Esparreguera, south of Montserrat, in Catalonia. It was a trip I had to make someday (although is quite near my hometown), because my grandfather (on my father's side) was born here (or his father I'm not sure). Anyway, my father once told me that the town's young ones had back then a sort of "initiation" consisting in walking around the bell tower (60 m. high, the 2nd highest in Catalonia)... from the outside of the balustrade on top of it!!
