I became very ill on my trip to Peru. Altitude sickness. My consciousness was foggy at best, although I remember thinking this is by far the most painful thing I've endured. And then, threaded in and out of my awareness, was this young Peruvian girl. I remember how incredibly beautiful she was. I fell in love with the patina & patterns of her dress and sling. I remember her leading the horse they put me on when I couldn't walk. She was quiet and kind. She trekked through snow in sandals and I had to beg her to share my water after miles of steep climb.
I think sharing the stories behind photographs creates meaning and connection above composition and color. This photo is for her. The Andean Girl.
