Ann's Patch

GEAR:

Canon R6 with Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II

Generations of my family come from this village and as a child I took part in the week long Summer carnival. I remember making paper flowers like those in the window, eating ice creams and spending time with my grandparents. I was visiting with my children and extended family, reminiscing about my grandparents and the carnival weeks we spent together in the village. I got chatting to Ann while having lunch inside the cafe and I wondered if she'd known any of my relatives as she'd lived in the village a long time. Ann had known my grandmother: “I don’t think there’s many people that will remember her because they’ve all died.” I wanted to capture Ann during carnival week as a link to the past. I liked including the children on the outside of the cafe to represent different generations.
