Tango on the brain

Having spent the weekend at the Albuquerque Tango Festival, tango music is wandering the halls of my brain.  Little wonder that today's blog features some of the dance photographs I have made over the years.

"Fred and Heather"

This photograph was part of a photo shoot on a hot summer day on the Taos Plaza.  It was altered with filters in PhotoShop.

"Carrie and Tara"

Carrie Field and Tara Fortier are both consummate and creative dancers as well as world-class teachers.  Here is another shot with Carrie and another incredible dancer and teacher, Mike Malixi.

"Carrie and Mike"

Many, nearly all, would say that in tango it is all about the embrace...

...or is it about the shoes?????

"Used and new"

"Flamenco Feet"

Flamenco Feet was made in a studio at the Synergia Ranch south of Santa Fe in 1995 with a Mamiya medium format camera.   All the performers were incredibly dynamic and this shoot was one of my most memorable.

until next Monday,
