Once upon a time, before social networks, web portals, and artificial intelligence existed, there was a princess who reached the end of the world. And cell phones were huge with very long antennas. This was the situation in the 20th century when Lady Di came to Puerto Piramides to see the whales, and we photojournalists had plenty of time to write stories that would be read by thousands of people in the next day’s newspapers. Her mysterious gestures, her anxious eyes, her voice wrinkled with fatigue… By paying close attention to every detail, we were able to ensure we understood the nuances and differences in the text we sent to Buenos Aires regarding closing times.

Poor thing, I don’t know how they can sing outside with so much noise.I heard her say quietly. Her clear eyes slid over her shoulders as she walked away, pushed by convention. He greeted each one with drooping eyelids.. They had prepared 24 different cakes for him, but he didn’t try any of them. He accepted only a cup of tea and barely wet his lips.

Shortly before sending the day’s long report to the editorial department, information arrived from a hidden location on the Lujan River. The princess had unplannedly escaped to Sylvia Island to visit a colony for addicted children. As he was leaving, someone asked him: What does it mean to be a princess? She looked at him with a smile on her face, as if holding back tears, and said: to come here and see you. There were no networks or digital militias to make this scene go viral, but time still seemed to stand still. Eternal half-smile.
