Zen and the Art of Photographic Assignments
by Ben Curtis
“Photo assignments from two travel guides, plus my day job,” I said to myself. “I’ll be spread a little thin, but I can hack it for a month, no problem.”
It’s time for another ‘Notes from Spain Flickr Group’ Pick of the Month. Or NFSFGPM for short! This month I don’t want to post the winning picture here, because it is more than a picture, it is a story too, and you have to hop over to Flickr to read the whole thing and get the bigger picture, so to speak.
The photo is by Greg Gladman (he has won before), who tells a wonderful tale about a Zen moment in his photographic and working life in Spain. Read the story here (then check out some more of his amazing photos from Spain).
Don’t forget to add your pictures to the Notes from Spain Flickr Group, and our Black and White Steet Photography group, which will have a mid-monthly winner too.

Enjoyed the shots of Barcelona… everyone should visit Plaça de Sant Felip Neri at least once - it is a strangely peacful square in the centre of a bustling city. Whether you believe that the marks in the wall were from a bomb blast or the result of machinegun fire at a massacre (I have heard both) there is no doubt that you can cut the atmosphere there with a knife..
