I am a day late posting my Ascending Mary, but I am sure she won’t mind… Yesterday was the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, celebrating her transition from earth to heaven. Good timing, then, to bring you this photo, a variation on my Crown of thorns.
Two shots of the same Recoleta Cemetery window, one minute between them. Each tells a different story, as if the characters in the stained glass are able to express aspects of their personalities and their histories through the reflections. Well, that’s how I like to think of it.
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.
