Healing Session. Oct 16-19, 2009

It's funny how photographs capture moments and emotions that would otherwise pass swiftly - only to be enjoyed by the parties involved in that particular moment. This past weekend my friend Edu came to visit from Brazil. He has quite an eye for photography and documented most of our weekend in total tourist fashion (camera around neck at all times)... Normally I take extreme measures to NOT appear to be a tourist - however - in this case there was something so artistic about this process. It was like he was capturing these magical little pieces of time. The whole process for me - being able to look at myself and the way that I experience my life here in Buenos Aires was really special for me, and very very healing. I spend so much time alone, having a companion to hold a mirror up for me was meaningful, and I'm grateful. I won't say anymore, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves....

THANK YOU, EDUZINHO!!!


This bench tucked away in the corner of the famous Recoleta cemetary has been my backdrop for a few different emotional states and phases of my life over the past few years...I was happy to return to it to pose for a photo that reflects the joy and peace that I feel now...

This is one of the many antique bazaars in San Telmo - filled with history and treasures...

Now on to life announcements... let's see... I picked up some freelance marketing work for an international tango magazine that is starting up called TangoZapa. It's a fun involvement - I'm attending milongas and events, interviewing tango photographers and fashion designers - AND - I got cast in a national independent film being shot here in the capital... we'll be filming the week of November 2-5 - photos and news to come!!!

La vida es bellísima.
