Spoiler Alert: Broken Ankle
I chose tango as my dance because I love the lifestyle, embrace, and, yes, dressing up.
In my tango series, I share images shot worldwide, in the places where I have danced: Spain, France, Germany Turkey,Canada,Italy Greece, and the USA, but mostly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
With my written stories, I try to share some of the experiences that have stayed with me... An amazing embrace, a beautiful meal, a slightly uncomfortable life moment at a stay a train station or airport. These are the moments we remember.
As to my personal info, I was born in New Jersey eventually, after living in New York, Boston, and San Francisco, most recently on San Juan Island in Washington state, I moved to Buenos Aires in January 2020.
For 38 years, years I curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became a visual editor.
Always with a camera or some picture-capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment], I started my travel at approximately the same time, was introduced to tango about 12 years ago.
VIsual storytelling begins with a moment. Some internal mechanism is triggered by a scene or event or movement and ...there's your photo.
Other times, it’s about a sliver of color or something else odd or ordinary that captures the eye.
As I am now fluent in Spanish, it is my desire that my stories and photos reach the broader tango community and other travelers.
Travelingtango offers translations into Spanish, Italian, and German.
Abrazo!!!
