Tango 1926 by Jacques Henri Lartigue

Not only to I love Jacques Henri Lartigue's photographs, but I adore the tango.( I got this photo from here).

The tango must be one of the hardest things I've ever tried to learn! Not only do you have to keep all your senses alive and sensing, but you have to rigorously follow the difficult and precise steps and moves which make up this wonderful structured dance.

I truly believe it to be a form of Tantra because the male and female roles are so very clearly defined and to do with those very archetypal actions.

a moment in Paris 1911

I saw an exhibition of Jacque Henri Lartigue at the Pomidou Centre in Paris when I was last there in 2003.
I loved the life and humour his photos were full of. And in this photo, you could just change the fashion, and it could be a scene from any city today, the rush and movement. And  guess the fashion is rather like 'slow food' or 'slow music', it would have taken more time to make, more time to put on, more time to take in all the details. Such was the way of that world.
