Many thanks to all the amazing travellers and photographers who submitted cover images to me this month – it was so lovely to check out the diversity of your style and design. Special thanks to Rebekah West, whose gallery is highlighted here. Her image, “Fête de la Rose” was chosen as the cover of Cargo Lit’s issue 9.
Photographer’s Statement:
Grasse is France’s perfume capitol where each May they host their famous Fête de la Rose, Rose Festival. In aesthetic mastery (and madness!), José and Corinne Mendez (Art-Floral Grasse) created a 35,000-rose cupcake-shaped concoction inside a gazebo. Within a simple outline, their sense of design and color was simply mind-blowing; this is one of the tiers shot from above, an angle seen only by its creators (and me).
