Tango

In Buenos Aires, you can find an abundance of tango shows, some of which are huge productions (e.g., Carlos Gardel) and some of which are more down-to-earth in small venues where you can almost touch the dancers. More adventurous visitors can participate by going to a dance event called a milonga. Many events include live musicians playing the bandoneon, an instrument resembling an accordion.

Interested in your photos

Dear Ms. Andersson, I find your photos are remarkable. As if they speak of the entire culture or history that has taken place in that country.

I myself, did not know anything about photo taking. But when i browsed the site, using Google, I came into one of your photos. And that photo leads me to your resume.

Since I have no knowledge on photo copyright thing, could you be so kind to explain me the necessity if one wish to use your photos?

Pardon for my poor English.
