EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vincent West, the vibrant spirit of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona comes to life. The image showcases a group of revellers joyfully holding up their red scarves, an iconic symbol of the festival. As they gather together, their smiles and enthusiastic energy are palpable. The photograph also captures a significant moment during the start of the festival known as Chupinazo. Due to a Basque flag hanging in front of the town hall, authorities were compelled to postpone the commencement for 20 minutes while it was removed. This incident highlights both political tensions and cultural diversity within Spain. San Fermin is renowned worldwide for its exhilarating running of the bulls event, but this image reminds us that there is much more to this celebration than just adrenaline-fueled spectacles. It represents a time when people from all walks of life come together to revel in tradition and camaraderie. Through his lens, West beautifully encapsulates not only the visual spectacle but also conveys a sense of unity and shared excitement among participants. This photograph serves as a testament to how festivals like San Fermin have an extraordinary ability to bring people together despite any differences or obstacles that may arise.
