Black & White pictures exhibition of top europeans pool players

[billbOK]

The official Euro tour photograph, the young Bethan Louise Sage, had a project of work with some of the top european players. The concept was to shoot the players in 30's style dressing. The pictures of the project was exposed last week at the spanish Eurotour stop. The pictures could be seen at this LINK. You can also watch the diaporama of pictures.

I'de like to share it with you, pool lovers, cause I really like the idea and found it really succeded. Congatulattions to Beth for the good work !

Thanks for sharing the link. It is a shame they don't have names of the pool players because I don't recognize a lot of them.

The video in color stands out GREAT, but that music isn't my cup of tea, but I guess young European folk might enjoy it. Is that a European Top 40 hit?

Here's our American version of that, a photo that was created a couple decades ago. :wink:

It's nice to see the Europeans developing their own style, for a change. :grin-square:

If you click on one of the pics in the first page you will access to a page with all the pictures and the name of the players. Sadly it is only thumbnails and you can't access to full size pictures, she protects her work
For the diaporama I agree the music is not well choose...

 

[JAM]

Ah, now I see. You just click one of the black-and-white pics, and another screen will come up with all of them. Now I recognize a few.

OMG, Ralph Souquet with a gun?! :grin:

 

[JAM]

Marcus is funny. I miss seeing him.

 

[JAM]

Who is this Baby Cakes? I never heard of him, but he's a hunk! :thumbup2:

Meet Mateusz Sniegocki! He sure is easy on the eyes.

What a shooter; what a guy! :smile2:

 

[JAM]

Looks like Fabio lost his hat over a lady! :wink::grin:

 

[JAM]

I wouldn't want to meet this thug in a dark alley! :shocked2::shocked2:

Meanwhile, he's probably the most friendly European player I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! :wink:

Sandor Tot!

What about Oliver ?

Or the one with Daryl Peach...

Sandor looks impressive

On of my favorites is the "romantic Engert"

Sandor looks so scary, like a mafia hit man.

And he's one of the most fun to hang with at a tournament. We always enjoy running into Sandor on the tournament trail.

Here's one of my faves with Sandor. It's not so good of Keith, but I love that butterfly sequined shirt of mine. It was so cold that weekend at this tournament. We were all snowed in at a casino, of all places. Thank goodness, my ATM card had a limit of $300 a day. :wink:

As you can see, we're keeping warm at the -- ahem -- BAR! :wink::grin:

Nice pictures JAM, thanks for sharing:wink:

Well, while I'm at it, you can help me name this player on the left. I know Imran Majid on the right. There is a local lady player in my area who really has a crush on this player on the left, and for the life of me, I just cannot remember his name. I'm sure you must know him.

I don't know him, but the only thing I can remember about him is that he was always smiling, just like he is in this picture, at the pool tournament in Vegas. :grin-square:

The picture of David Alcaide looks like he's getting a handful of booty.

For sure, this gentleman is Rico Diks. A former european champion of the Netherlands. He is now musician in a band in London. He teachs pool but is not much in the circuit.
