Double Emotion
Tango couples dancing at Milonga Sin Rumbo
This past weekend I’ve spent several hours surrounded by intense emotion.
In spite of being quite different one from the other, the feeling perceived was so deep that makes impossible to be unaware of.
People at the “milonga” dancing tango with dramatic focus on every step and also a coherent expression on his faces were not different to those following the “fútbol” match at Boca Juniors stadium.
Tango dancers don’t sing, instead Boca Juniors fans do it from minute zero to minute 90 of the match. Non-stop. It’s simply amazing.
This past weekend I’ve personally confirmed that you should not die before spending a friday night at the milonga or a sunday afternoon at La Bombonera.

Trivia
“La Bombonera” as the stadium is known, took it’s name because somebody found that it resembles a chocolate box.
The World without Color
Hotel in Prague
Things are not always black or white, sometimes are gray. Almost are gray.
As a travel photographer I frequently cross the line into documentary photography. Such a discipline that I personally enjoy and also admire.
I strongly believe that many of the best photographers in history were players of that arena. Many of them in fact, gladiators.
But, what happen with black and white? In the origin, the only way to capture an image. Today as a choice, as a way of expression.
The lack of color translates in a resource gone, but at the same time in an added one, so incredibly powerful that will endure forever.
I’ve started a new gallery on my website where I will post my black and white work.

Talent: Gifted or not
65th Birthday this week
I believe that the majority of people are not lucky enough to discover a given talent as soon as they leave the crib.
So, we have a flock of illuminated almost extra-terrestrial humans that without preparation, effort or intention are outstanding at pursuing a determined task. When those gifted work hard, study and try to perform like nobody else we get icons, gold-medallists, world champions and nobel prize winners.
But, what happen to the rest of us? Despite the odds, can we try? Yes, of course and we should.
I strongly believe that we must follow our heart and try to bring to the surface such hidden spark. If you want to play guitar, do it. How important is to beat Eddie Van Halen in a finger speed contest? Not important at all while you enjoy and enlighten your life.
Life may become too short. So, Carpe Diem.
In honour to a gifted indeed.
