Hi Chris, and all.

I'm a bit in a hurry right now, so I promise a translation in a next post.
The context in which 'Escuchá Clarín' was submitted is explained in
Portuguese at the same site, and in Spanish at
http://www.mercourbano.gov.ar/html/premios.htm

It was required to make a small paragraph explaining the subject and its
relation to the contest. I have only an Spanish version already written, and
I'm copying it below. Again I'll translate it later.

Technical info: black Olympus OM-2 (plain), Zuiko 21mm/3.5 @ 5.6, flimsy
Slik U212 tripod, TTLConn Type 3, TTL Cord, T-32 with wide angle diffuser
hand held pointed at the right side of the wall, vertically rotated. Flash
made a full dump and the camera remained open during unrecorded time.
Very unusually I had negative film loaded, named Kodak Pro-Image 100 here,
but wide latitude was needed. I made two more shots overexposing it just in
case but the top of the antenna burned out. Carlos Porro made a good job
enlarging and priting the negative. He filtered out a green street light
that mixed with the flash, he thought it looked better that way but I
wouldn't have done that. And he could rescue details out of the overexposed
antenna top, and the iron strcture showed amazingly sharp and red on the
black sky.
No scanning and therefore no .jpg or .tif or .raw available.

Thanks for looking !!

/Fernando.

Fotografía ³Escuchá Clarín²
La torre de hierro es la antena de un importante canal privado de televisión
que se construyó ca. 1990 en un punto céntrico de la ciudad ocupando casi el
área de una manzana sobre la principal avenida de Montevideo, 18 de Julio a
una cuadra de Bvar. Artigas. Comparada con las dimensiones habituales de las
construcciones montevideanas, resulta tan desproporcionada como podría
haberlo sido la Tour Eiffel aunque su propósito y cualidad estética muy
distintas. 
Durante varios años las propiedades demolidas para permitir su construcción
rodeaban la torre de hierro, una de las cuales fue elegida para componer
esta fotografía. No sólo por su textura y forma complementarias, sino
también porque algún otro ciudadano expresó su opinión con gruesos
caracteres exhortando irónicamente a ?escuchar Clarín¹, que es una emisora
de radio A.M. que emite solamente tango.
