Buenos Aires 2018 - Photograph by Georgito O'Reilly |
The inspiration for this blog started when my Argentine
nephew Georgito O’Reilly sent me a lovely portrait of Rosemary and me. The
picture has a particular significance as on our way to the restaurant Georgito
pointed out the Sanatorio Anchorena on a corner. I immediately told him that I had
been born there and I had never been back. Once in the restaurant when I was
about to pay, to my shock I did not have my Visa. Somehow I had dropped it
oustside and found it.

And of course it’s this shirt that keeps cropping up in my photographs. For my birthday on August 31st this year, I cheated on my routine of self-portrait as I shot it the day before.

I particularly like Rosemary’s iPhone photograph of the Granadero San Martín with me.
