Alas no scuttling around Recoleta Cemetery for me this weekend, tuning into the All Souls vibe. While I recuperate from a herniated disc, I’m limited to a granny shuffle around streets closer to home. But as The Cemetery Girl, I couldn’t let the occasion pass unmarked.
I think this photograph I took at Brompton Cemetery in August fits the bill, catching the tension between our two worlds, which are more In tune at this time of year. It reminds me of being in a dream and trying to wrench myself awake.
I was born in Montreal in 1967, grew up in England and live between London and Buenos Aires. Like many, I came to Buenos Aires to dance tango and fell under the spell of this city where strangers talk to you, tango music seeps on to the streets and the ornate crumbling buildings speak of grander times. I love writing and crafting words – I've worked as a sub-editor for more than 20 years – and taking photographs.
