unraveling the rhythm

flamenco style....

























I took these photographs of Las Guitarras de Espana
when they performed at the Millenium Park on September 2005.

I like the order you put the pictures in. I can see them coming to life and dancing infront of me.

Nice title, Lorena. We all need to come undone, so we can put ourselves back together again. I might also add that these are some beautiful shots!

If you scroll down at the right pace, this is a great animation. I think of those binocular things where you'd insert slides and click to the next one. These are close enough to each other to give the impression of sequence. Thanks for showing me flamenco style.

I love look flamenco !
La danse du flamenco , c'est la Grandeur , la Présence , la recherche de ce qui est grand en nous . Et c'est beau !

The pictures are beautiful!! Your sequence tells a great picture of the dance and emotion of the day. Takes me back to that day.

i think latin culture is the most beautiful of all. and that is coming from an anglo/czech/irish/french/german boy, lol. sincerely though, the language, the food, the music, the decor, the people, everything about it, beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful. I especially like picture 3 and the last picture, the movement and pose are nicely captured.
