The Girl From Ipanema
The song “The Girl from Ipanema” was written in 1962, inspired by a young woman who strolled past a beachfront bar in Rio, embodying Brazil’s sun-kissed spirit. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of watching someone enchanting yet untouchable, evoking fleeting moments and unspoken dreams.
About Artist
Barry Crosthwaite
My passion for photography and travel began in childhood, inspired by National Geographic. In university, with my first proper camera and B&W film, this interest grew. After a year traveling in Europe and North Africa with Kodachrome, I chose a career in business and finance over art school. Fortunately, my finance career allowed me to travel and continue developing my photography. Since retiring in 2021, I’ve focused on exploring the other side of my mind, inspired by light, color, and the world’s diversity.
