The tango is such a beautiful dance...and so beautifully complicated. Noreen and I didn't take Tango lessons while in Argentina, but we did wander into a few milongas, ordered plenty of wine, and watched the locals dance.

The following picture was taken at a small cafe in the San Telmo neighborhood of BA. I love the intensity of the couple, and feel that the panning effects of the camera highlight this intensity - in their faces and their frame/arms. They were such a pleasure to watch.

Sure, it's a tourist trap, but being the tourist that I am, was happy to endulge. These dance partners are found on many a post card in the city. We got to see them do their thing at the Sunday markets.
