Grace at Temple of Grace

Grace at Temple of Grace

I was walking around the Temple of Grace, the dust was all over, when I suddenly saw that creature posing for pictures; I approached her and saw that the photographers were not professionals, so I felt free to ask her, “Can I take a picture?”. She smiled at me, she started posing and I took 3 pictures; ” I am a model she says, my name is Grace, I am from”…I can’t  remember where she was from; “nice to meet you” she said putting her very long fingers into my hand.

I was impressed by the poses she was taking, she was the professional, I was the amateur. Grace was like in her Temple. A man looked at her walking into the Temple, he did not like her nudity.

Ghost at Burning Man 2014

I was cycling in the desert from the Temple of Grace when I saw this woman walking to the “Man” . I was surprised by her loneliness, most of the people at BM walk with friends; I approached her and asked “Can I take a picture?” , she turned he face to me, looked at me, she was a man.

He suddenly stopped walking, looked at me smiling, I took the picture and said thanks. I did not feel it was appropriate to ask him who he was or why he was dressed like a ghost in the desert. I could tell this was to him completely natural.

“I am not interesting”

“I am not interesting”

Marine does not like this photo and considers that her life is not interesting enough to deserve a post in this blog.

As many French women installed in the USA, Marine had to stop her career  to accompany her husband in his career. Although this was a family decision, Marine feels guilty not to be an active woman as she was in France. Marine loves the life in California, but “I am not interesting”.
