ghosts of the dance

An immensely talented, delightful young Argentine couple have been in Taos for the last two weeks, dancing mind-boggling performances, and presenting workshops.  The core of every single participant feels like it has been given a world-class workout!  Although they are now headed to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for a tango festival, Marina Kenny and Guillermo Cerneaz left our community with wonderful memories.

During a milonga (tango dance) at Old Martina's Hall in Ranchos de Taos on Saturday evening, Guillermo and Marina were like hovercraft, flowing over the floor with astonishing cleanness and ease.  Using my smaller Nikon, I was playing around with flash and without flash.  These "ghost images" are obviously made without the assistance of flash, which produced some interesting blurs and day-glo colors from the assorted types of lights in the room.








Thanks to Carrie Field and Mike Malixi of Taos Tango for bringing them here and cultivating the tango community in Taos.

until next Monday,

DB

a passion for the images

    The motion blur is most effective and reflects that Marina and Guillermo glide so lightly across the floor. I think that the blur complements the story better than stopped motion.
