Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2001, March, marzo, La Boca, Riachuelo, La Plata, Obelisco

By this time, I’d moved to Buenos Aires & was trying to figure out a new country, a new city & a new relationship… add to that a relatively new job as I transitioned from assistant to lead guide with Rick Steves. But this month I had lots of fun discovering the city when one of my best friends from high school came to visit. We’ve always had a blast taking photos, & BA was the perfect backdrop.

Unfortunately the first roll of film from this month has been damaged, but I’ve tried to color correct as best as I can. Seems like my love affair with Recoleta Cemetery began during this time, & I took excursions to La Plata & Tigre. A non-touristy visit to La Boca brings back a lot of vivid memories, especially since the Riachuelo was as contaminated as ever. Phew.


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