OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. COLLEGES GRADUATION PARTIES.

CAMBRIDGE

A few years ago, around this time, Albert Cañagueral and I travelled to Oxford and Cambridge for el Periodico Sunday newspaper. Our proposal was to make a portrait of two of the world most famous universities taking advantage of the current clip of their graduation ceremonies at the end of the course. I had read and seen a story about running wild celebrations that were held within the Colleges. I knew that access would be practically impossible, but I thought Iwould be able to find something in the streets, as it was.

In Cambridge I learned when I was one of the parties and the next day at dawn I was ready with my camera in front of the college where I could capture these images.

In Oxford, about nine in the morning in one of the pubs in the centre I photographed some of the graduates who had not been going to bed yet. They have all the earmarks of having had a very good time. Don’t you think?

The idea of this post I came after learning that journalism students of one of the universities where I teach had too, one of these parties. And I heard with nothing to envy to those of Oxford and Cambridge.
For me it really is exciting to realize that all these young journalists, to whom I have tried to convey my passion for photography, won’t be anymore on the other side of the table, but will be my new colleagues in this difficult but exciting profession.
