QUESTA ABAJO

 

Um, maybe some mixed metaphors or loose associations. Our trips to Argentina over the years have made me a big fan of Carlos Gardel, sort of the Elvis Presley of tango, the king of the genre.  One of my favorite songs, performed with such intensity, is Questa Abajo, or, roughly, down the hill. It works here. You could tumble roughly and dangerously down the stairs and terraces from the World’s Fair Pavilion. You could walk smoothly down the stairs.

  1. As a longtime follower, may I please enter a plea for a return to COLOR??!! I get that you're using some infrared thing, but these images are like permanent midnight - the flat black sky, the creepy shadows are like a dystopian nightmare...!

    1. It’s an infrared esthetic. You can do them in color but the product is not what the eye sees.
