focus

Last week's blog featured the results of low light and moving the camera to achieve a sense of motion in the dance of Guillermo Cerneaz and Marina Kenny, tango dancers from Buenos Aires.  They were in Taos for two weeks at Taos Tango, giving private lessons, presenting workshops, and performing.  These photographs are of the couple at Old Martina's Hall in Ranchos de Taos, showing an intense but easy focus which allows their dance to be acute yet lush and supple at once.

Marina is the queen of contra-body, a position wherein the upper torso is facing Guillermo (the lead) while her lower body is twisting into a back step.

and the award goes to...

Last night, the Academy Awards or Oscars were awarded in Hollywood, concluding the media awards season in America.

In keeping with the tuxedos and formals, black and white, and stardom, here are two American tango rock stars, E. M. Malixi and Carrie Field at their Taos Tango studio.

Two more tango dancers in a close embrace - John Henry of Double Time Dance Studio in Albuquerque, and Heather Herd of Santa Fe.

The ceremonies remind us that every human being shines at some point in life.  Our duty is to see those sparkling moments, in others as well as ourselves.

until next Monday,
