I made this image in 2001 from the balcony of my room at Grande Hotel Da Barra in Salvador da Bahia. In the distance is the island of Itaparica. Outside the door of the hotel lies one of my favourite urban beaches in a neighbourhood that allowed me to be close to Brazilians. This polaroid with all it's soft imperfection summed up the soul of the place for me.

Much has happened in my life since this image was made - but this moment lives in my heart forever.
