Euskaraz irakurri: Harrotasuna, 40 urte geroago bere argazkia berriro argitaratuta ikusteaz

Domi Alonso it’s a photographer Bilbao native who, at his 67 years old and still activehas been surprised to see how, 40 years later, one of the photographs of his professional beginnings is still published in Agencia EFE: This is a photo of the celebration with the barge crossing the estuary 40 years agowhen In 1984, Athletic had completed a historic double, League and Cupwhich later became tripletadding a Super Cup which she won ex officio, for being the champion in the two tournaments that offered a place for her.

“It’s a pride for me to see that photo on the San Mamés screen,” Alonso told EFE, posing with it right in front of the giant screen of the Cathedral, remembering his then teammates Txema Fernández, now deceased but still very much alive in his memory, and Santi Jiménez.

Domi explains that “it was a simple photo to take”: “Just you had to run like a long-distance runner to find the right spot. Four times I crossed the estuary from one side to the other,” he recalled, with humor, his adventures to obtain a testimony that, due to his youth and little experience, marked him for his entire career of, of course, more than 40 years.

The photo was taken from the San Antón Bridgethe oldest in Bilbao and integrated into the logo of Bilbao’s candidacy for the Euro 2020.

“It seemed like a good place, but it lacked the proximity of the fans. I was finishing the walk along the estuary, when four kids with flags approached and started waving them. I saw myself running again, but I was already in the right place, and It went well,” he said about the moment.

And he explained his emotions at that time: “For a photographer with a year’s experience, being in EFE, which is always a reference, seeing the photo published in many places the next day It was incredible; and being able to share that joy with colleagues from the Agency and from other media, wonderful,” he added, happy to see a work from four decades ago that is so topical again.
