ARGENTINA Through Harold’s Lens:
Sunday.
Streets are closed to auto traffic in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of San Telmo.
It’s a bizarre time!
Artisans, musicians, street performers and antique vendors from near and far are here to share their treasures and their talents with the public.
People of all nationalities are wandering, walking, strolling, gawking. It’s a unique and alluring experience.
Over here, there’s something weird happening.
Over there, what is that woman doing?
Where’s the reggae music coming from?
Sundays in San Telmo just go with the flow.
Through Harold's Lens 
Harold, can you send me some of those red stockings from Argentina? (Just kidding…but they are hot!)

Hi Harold. I especially am drawn to this photo as Stan and I are taking a ballroom dancing class. Though this is not a dancing photo….it does remind me of the way our feet criss crossed last night. 🙂 Again, enjoying your work. 🙂 Best!

Thanks Terry. I hope yours and Stan’s footsies don’t get tangled up like this. Something weird going on here.

Those shoes! Hours and hours of dancing, practising, dancing again. Getting the feeling, the feet right. Trusting a partner. Dressing – just right – to capture the emotion. And then, his laces tied tightly wanting to make sure…and hers flapping around, telling him to relax, it’s ok. Love it!

Happy you understand the intimacies of the image Amos. But, even though I took it, I’m still not sure what I took.

You captured a moment that tells a story – maybe everyone will see something different in that moment: something of the past, present or even the suggestion of what awaits. Great photographs are like good stories: it leaves the observer/reader with the threads to start weaving a new canvas.

Amos, that is a perfect way to look at the photograph. A canvas to be created. I guess I was looking at it too literally.

Hey Boom, I think you may have it. But for me, the photographer who took the shot, I am still trying to figure how one person has three feet and three legs of grey pants and there is only one red leg.
