UPDATE ON SPANISH FREELANCE PHOTOJOURNALIST ANTONIO ARAGON

In one of my previous blogs you saw our friend Antonio Aragon with his pinky finger injured by a rubber bullet. Well he graced us with a visit at LA PRENSA and was nice enough to pose for us with his arm in a splint. After all the jokes about him not being able to drink tea properly any more, and how he cried like a baby in front of the camera, were over he told us that his pinky was broken in two places and he lost some skin around it. He might need a skin graft. His other finger needed three extra stitches. He has a bad bruise on the palm of his hand from a second plastic bullet that hit him at the same time. Apart form that he is in good spirits and will be returning to Spain in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes in this job when you "take" pictures, the pictures"take" something back. Luckily it was nothing major and we all could laugh about it.
