25 years ago: april 2001

25 years ago, Argentina, Buenos Aires, hace 25 años

Only a single roll for this month, but some historically relevant photos of Buenos Aires.

Observations: This set of photos appears to be dedicated to a single walk through the neighborhoods of Congreso/Balvanera, Retiro & Recoleta. Surely that explains why the light isn’t always the best. But this idea of one walk=one roll of film is interesting because my future exploration of Buenos Aires would follow the same model: walking many blocks at once while recording whatever grabbed my attention.

Of note are a quick & dirty capture of Tribunales (the Supreme Court building) before any restoration took place, an image of Templo Libertad (before I knew photos weren’t allowed), & a lovely street scene which I’m certain is the 1900 block of Pacheco de Melo in Recoleta. Funny how I’d live not too far from there in the not too distant future.


Hope you’ve enjoyed this glance at the past. Read about the genesis of this project, & please leave a comment below if you also remember this particular time & place.
