Life on Earth

We threw a party to break in the new house on Lincoln St. complete with the emerging band, Barefoot Tango, that is bringing a bit of world culture to Traverse City with their brand of neuvo tango. Below is just a quick glimpse into the scene that had the street lined with cars, and the front yard stacked with bicycles. As the host, I wasn’t able to shoot more.

And, don’t forget that Barefoot Tango will be playing again Friday June 29th at the Inside Out Gallery.

From the back of the stage to the front; Keith, Chad, Morgan and Lou on the bandelion.

Barefoot Tango played at the Inside Out Gallery on June 29. They are a four-piece consisting of Lou Blouin on bandoneon, Morgan Evans-Weiler on violin, pianist Chad Evans, and Keith Jaissle on contrabass and bass guitar. The music is nuevo tango and their sound is fresh and poignant.

Emily and Louis weren’t very happy with the rain earlier in the day, but they changed their mind once the rainbows began to appear on June 2 at the Vineyard Inn in Suttons Bay, Michigan .

It was little tense just before the ceremony due to a hook problem, but that’s what a bride’s ladies are for.

Typical, it’s always the women leading the way on the dance floor.

Life is beginning to get back to normal since my father’s passing, and then the purchasing, improving, and moving into a new house. I’m still under boxes, but wanted to get something new on this BLOG….

What better than images from the first wedding of the 2007 season. Melissa and John were married on May 12 at Black Star Farms. It was casual, emotional and, simply, beautiful. Here are a few of the images of the day’s story that began at the Leelanau county vineyard, and ended at their family cottage on Lake Michigan. Melissa’s two children were an important focus for the event that brought two long time friends together in marriage.
