About the Creator
Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

Introduction Fiona, a Mexican Guide, and Me In 2001 Fiona organised a two-week trip to Mexico, the first week was the guided tours and the second was spent semi-recovering at an impressive all-inclusive hotel. It was over twenty years ago, and I have forgotten a lot of the place names, but I will use this to share my snaps and tell you some of te tales and things that I remember.
