This is a Holga photo I took in Buenos Aires, Recoleta cemetery. The place is full of all sorts pomp and circumstance, proclaiming the glory of blah blah blah.
Ideas of honour and sacrifice, it would be great if it was just about sculptures.
But sadly, it is about young people dying. I really felt this feeling staring at this monument to the glorious dead over here. The young face of this boy soldier was quite sad and quiet and unlike the people who were nearby laughing and trying to get pictures of Eva Peron's crypt.
I took this series of shots to have this young face flanked and penned in on all sides by this older soldier with a ceremonial helmet.
