Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which has creasing and a few repaired closed tears. Tony McGee has been a leading light in the world of fashion and beauty photography. Boxers and ballerinas are not often found this close together. Fighters and dancers. Yet they mirror and shadow each other's every move. They share power, grace, speed, strength, agility, sweat and split second timing. They share no margin for error. They share no gain without pain. Nowhere on earth is this more visible than Havana, Cuba. The Birthplace of of some of the best boxers and ballerinas in the world. In spring, 1999 we stepped behind the scenes to witness the gruelling rehearsals and punishing training sessions of the dedicated young Cubans at the National School of Ballet and the Academy of Boxing in Havana. The boxers practice in a disused cow shed next to their Russian built sleeping quarters, one hour out of the city. The facilities - basic. The spirit - strong. The dedication - inspiring. The combination - overpowering. Ballerinas float like butterflies. The boxers sting like bees. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.17 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 20A.
