Message from Sylvie
At the end of 2002 I left behind my life in London for a new adventure - 12 months on the road in Latin America, on my own, 12 countries from Mexico down to Argentina via Cuba, Central America and the Andes.
I bought a digital camera to publish my pictures online as I went. The aim: share my trip with friends and family, give me a nice project to work on and leave a trace of that beautiful trip.
This is my own personal version of a travelogue. You won't see me posing in front of an Inca wall or on top of a volcano. Actually you won't see me at all.
Instead, I have tried to capture various aspects of life in the countries I visited - people, customs, social issues as well as sites, architecture and scenery.
These images show a mere glimpse of what it is to live and travel in Latin America, but I hope that they somehow convey the beauty and vitality of this fascinating continent and inspire you to visit it.
As far as I am concerned, I ended my trip in Buenos Aires at the end of 2003 and have lived there ever since.
I have lost all the pictures featured here: first the hard drive they were on was stolen, then it was the backup CDs. I have no prints, nothing - moments in time, completely virtual on the Internet, real only in my memory.
Enjoy !
