Cemetery of San Juan, talk to me. Tell me your secrets, what you know to be true.
In the land of dust and mountains and rustling wind that whips up in the night stealing the deeply veined leaves from the fresh green mora trees. Home to the Festival of the Sun and its 19 beauty queens, and the howling dogs that keep me from sleeping in the barrio of Cabot.
Give me something. Anything. A clue of what lies beyond. For if anywhere, this should be a place that knows. A sign from the howling souls or the ones that rest in peace, in the well-kept tombs and the ones left to rot. Something to comfort, to connect the dots, to make sense of it all.
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.
The photography is as haunting as ever Julie-Anne. Very easy to get lost in these images!
Felicitaciones Julie Anne, excelente tu blog, cariños y mis cordiales saludos!!!
