Argentina opened to the world on November 1, and the trickle of foreigners into the country increases daily.
Recently, walking in the streets I heard French and Russian spoken. Slowly the city returns.
Have danced in many places, having fun as the people and the dancing evolves. Am posting fotos from El Beso, Sueno Portenyo, La Viruta, Nuevo Chique, New Gricel.
Lots of live music too from local orchestras and quartets. Such as Los Herederos del Compás with Pablo Ramon, Marco Bellini y El Quarteto del Plato, Orchestra Romántica, La Juan D’arienzo.
As to bio, I was born in New Jersey, and eventually after living in New York, Boston, San Francisco, most recently on San Juan Island, in Washington state and now am living in Buenos Aires since January 2020...
For 38 years, years I have curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became the visual editor that I am now.
Always with a camera or some picture capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment] I began to travel and at the same time was introduced to dancing about 12 years ago.
As the phones have improved, I have given up all my gear, including my beloved Fuji, Xt1 Pro for a good phone.
Yes some shots are not as good on the phone, but for my love of detail and dancing, it suits me well.
For me the story telling begins with a visual moment, some internal mechanism is triggered and ...there's your photo. Other times it’s about a sliver of color or detritus that captures the eye.
My subject matter ranges from the small moment of beauty found on the street or in a window display to social Tango.
I chose Tango as my dance of choice as I love the lifestyle, the music, the embrace and yes dressing up. What I choose to share in my Tango series includes images shot around the world, in the places have danced, Spain, France, Turkey, Greece and USA but most recently in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
My photos represent the connection that tango dancers of all ages share.
