Funny picture.I saw a lot of them, in Arelington.Nice shot.
You?re right.Caminito, in Boca,with sunshine, which is normal is full of people.Raining, only the mad one, like me.

Interesting photo-document.An image,a story in that image,a question,an answer,a process,very fast,conclusion.But, nest day,another one...
Yes,I gree,that tango image is latin,could not be, could not be felt by a gringo.They have cold blood, or a mixture of red ink with methanol.We run on 120 rate octane gasoline,in our heart we have two bi-turbo.We live fast and died soon.But we live for full, not in half.Tango is something to feel, like samba or salsa or bolero.Rock is to act , to move,to play.Soccer is heart and soul,baseball is statistics and an huge boredom.
Near your place,in An Arbor, I was a regular at american football.It is strategy and speed and muscle.But where is that ball? Basebol, I played a simplified basebol ,in my high school.But just because soccer was forbiden: too many windows around.I?m latin, maybe, celt,for sure, I?ve all the feactures that was important in that people.We love music,we love art,we love show. I love tango.

Excellent picture,excellent point of view.
Thanks for your comment to my Caminito series.What you said is what any photographer would like to hear:my pictures are useful,give to some, the pre-view of a different place.
When I?m in travel I am realy under a strong emotional state,trying to get what matters,what is the most significative of the place where I am.
Thanks and regards

Excellent shot, you got a state of mind,what in english language is called a character , used as a portrait of someone with strong face,but ,in our latin language it also means someone of strong personality.
In Buenos Aires,tango is part of the town,we think of tango and Buenos Aires as an unique entity. But tango and Buenos Aires and the Boca quarter,"barrio", the italian place, soccer, football, Boca Juniors, Maradona,passion,extrovert way to live.An explosive mix of the spanish pride,with the south america "macho" ,gives the "ombridad" a word an european do not grasp in all its meaning.Like a "caudillo" is not understood by europeans, or north americans.South America, Argentina ,are a different way to stay in life.Caminito is the climax of the Boca barrio,there is the place to be,heart and soul open to see, listen,smell,understand and be forever impressed.Look, I have five years of living in South America, S.Paulo.I want to "feel" and then understand this continent.This is that: first we feel, than we try to understand.My european culture, my various stays in USA ,help to let me open my mind.I love South America.I hope all of you feel that my pictures of this South America series are a love affair, I did it with my soul, my deep love for that people and that land.
