Photographing The Art-Deco Cemeteries of Buenos Aires

If you havent gone and seen any of these, you should. Salamone did much more than just cemeteries- in most towns, he did the city hall, the community slaughterhouse, the cemetery, and sometimes the central square. Personally, I think the best thing written about Salamone was this essay, by a US college professor.

I have rented a car a couple of times and gone on Salamone trips- you drive to the central square of the tiny towns, like Saldungaray, or Rauch, and ask the jubilado sitting on the park bench- where is the slaughterhouse? where is the cemetery? and they tell you where to go.
Usually, the Municipalidads are pretty obvious.

Balcarce has something like 5 Salamone projects, including all the street furniture in the central plaza.
