“A few years ago I got to photograph in unusual (for me) places. My son was a founding member of Italian Championship Wrestling (in the admin but also a wrestler). I was asked to film several matches for them, but couldn’t resist some backstage portraits now and then!
In the early days, when their fed. was short of cash, some of the foreign guest stars stayed with us and I got used to politely sipping tea with giants from the UK, USA, Canada and Belgium!
What did the neighbours think?
I miss those days since my son retired from the ring!”.

Grazie Nuccia!@nuccia menozzi
Cambiano i soggetti ma non la mano dell’artista!
Ritratti molto divertenti, brava come sempre Catharine
Thankyou Sonia and Grazie Adriana!!
Sono d’accordo con Jim Ford. Interessante scorgere l’ironia sotto l’aspetto volutamente minaccioso dei tuoi campioni.
Ciao,
Adriana
Something very different for you but extremely good too!
Thanks so much Claudia!
I am speechless, Catherine, unique, timeless portraits, lit up with your warmth and passion for photography.

Those look like fun, Catharine! Well done!
Full of attitude – a nice glimpse from a fly on the wall’s perspective
Very different and very cool
Catharine….You are full of surprises. From your idyllic Italian landscapes to pro wrestling backstage….really terrific. I always look forward to seeing your work….very nice indeed.
Beautiful pics. I think I’ve recognized your son… 🙂
Ah…this reminds me of the day I took my son to see a WWF Battle Royal…wonderful pics.
Great set of backstage pics! The fans-pictures add an extra dimension to the story..
