Today, for the last time – here in Essen – I took some photos at wXw's Wrestling Academy Live event. I feel very ambivalent about them leaving. The new location is not that much farther away, but I just love the ruggedness of the "old" academy. I think the place itself was as much of a draw for me as the wrestlers/wrestling. So this might just be the natural end of my photo project. I am not sure yet. (In Wrestling you never say never.) What ever I decide to do, I believe I have enough material to create something from this work.
