I stumbled across Mark's Blog about a year ago while looking into the possibility of visiting "El Condor" (the remains of the purpose built filmset Fort used for the film of the same name). His blog had a post talking about his visit to the site then going on to explain that the land owner had turned up with a gun and loosely threatened to shoot him. Obviously I was rather put off by this idea as I never trained to be a teacher in Trump's America and would therefore be unable to overpower him. Reading on I discovered that Mark was a photographer with a fondness for the Almeria region and also a huge interest in Spain's historical Spaghetti Western film history.
……. after reading through Mark's blog I discovered that he had book that was very close to being published featuring lots of photos of his visits and naturally I had to own one.
To cut a long and tedious story of how my mind (doesn't) work it arrived at the beginning of this week and It is fantastic…. Lots of lovely photos of places I've visited and some that I haven't that aren't all totally overexposed like mine always are.
Fun Fact: The "Flagstone" Set for Sergio Leone's 1968 Once Upon a Time in The West Movie was also used in the KLF's 1991 White Room Film (find it here on Youtube).
