La Boca, Tango.. and a story.

I want to invite you, in this gallery, to walk along La Boca, a quarter at Buenos Aires, to know it better..
Not only through the images, but through the poetry of tango..
To realize that it is not only a melancholic thought that can be danced,
as one of our great writers said, but also has words, coming from the soul of my people..
Therefore, these 24 images have a correlation, a kind of story and some
will include lyrics of those tangos.

Astonishingly creative set of photos, beautifully conceived and presented. The colours alone are delicious, but the composition of each photo, the story, the imagination... superb. Bravo! VV

Hi Silvia, at first I thought: let's wait for the second dozen. But I would like to let you know that even halfway this is a very special gallery, sensitive and delicate. Your words really add to the feeling, because otherwise it would be difficult for me to connect the joyful colours to the tango tristesse. V. Best, Jeroen

A silent and powerful way to play tango by images. It�s all what I like in a series of Photos, Silvia, a common theme, a story to suggest, the carefully chosen elegance of colours and the personal technique to enhance reality. "El infinito tango me lleva hacia todo". Thank you for an n intense moment of visual and emotional pleasure Marisa
