\nI shot a couple of portraits of friends during the weekend, on Fuji Acros film using my Fuji 645 rangefinder. They turned out quite nice, albeit a bit soft. It is hard to put the finger on it, but sometimes film gives a special something. This is Cani and Nereida:

\nI have been taking golf lessons on Sunday mornings this spring. This past Sunday was the last class before the summer break. I took advantage of the opportunity to photograph some of the funny protectors people here use on their golf clubs:

\nThe golf course kitties, eating the food I have just left for them. I rarely get to photograph them eating, since they are shy and I have the dog with me, and I do not want to bother them when they are hungry. But this time it worked out:

\nThe main entrance of our office as seen from the 1st floor balcony. The opinions about our new building are divided (my wife hates it) but I quite like this glass facade:

\nOn Tuesday I did a live webinar on infringement of geographical indications. It was streamed live and recorded. This is the view from my seat:

\nDuring the minutes before the start, I took a few pictures of the control room and the technician:

\nOne of the technicians offered to take a couple of pictures of me:

\nTo make my presentation a bit more hands-on than pure Powerpoint, I brought along some products that are protected by geographical indications–Bavarian beer, Modena vinegar, champagne and Grana Padano cheese:

\nWe have a new tradition in our department. On the last Friday of each month, we get together at noon for an informal drink. Since the last Friday of June was a public holiday here, we had the drink on Friday July 1st instead. Here is Carolina talking to Andrea. I like to photograph her because she gets so animated and expressive during conversations:

\nFinally the weekend arrived and I was out again on my bicycle. This is a scene I have often thought about photographing, just north of Jijona:
