StrangeTango.com is a multilayered art installation in cyberspace…the documentation of a life in three iterations: as a film treatment, a book, a blog.

“What remains as documentation of a life?” Strange Tango haunts the boundaries of digital streams and visceral storytelling, where pixels and dreams flow together.

Video, reportage, and nonlinear narrative meld in captured moments from the life of A. D. Tejada, artist - traveler - citizen of the world.

Life is a strange tango...

The Secret Courtyard Garden

My mother's secret courtyard garden that I created for her.

A secret courtyard garden for my mother reminiscent of the tropical paradise where she was born, a spot where she could sit outdoors in the shade and inhale the familiar fragrances that remind her of her native home. I always give creative gifts, and [...]

Still Life with Armani

Still life composition with Armani.

 

To live life as art, attunement and scale are the essentials, not the resources of a financier or industrialist. Many images of beauty that I create—my handiwork—cost nothing at all, or very little, and yet, I live life to the fullest.

I have always appreciated the thought and effort cosmetics companies place [...]

Life is a dance…a strange tango.

Words have always been my métier, and my production includes literary fiction, memoirs, essays, musings, editorials, an art-house film, a documentary, television features, and television news packages. One of my greatest achievements is the personal website, StrangeTango.com: Life as Art—the first literary and conceptual art installation in cyberspace—wrapped around the concept: “What remains as documentation [...]

Gwena and Jeff McIntosh, Just 4 K-9's & Kitty 2

 

When my family and I relocated from New England to southwest Oklahoma, we had two priorities. One was to find a home to buy so we could quickly settle in; another was to find a veterinarian and a dog groomer for our family pet. We [...]

Savoring the Flavors of Life

Charles Price


When I first worked at Harvard University, I used to drive by Julia Child’s home when she still lived in Cambridge and also patronize her favorite shops, including Savenor’s and A. Russo & Sons. Russ Morash, the WGBH producer of Julia’s shows and This Old House, is the father-in-law of a friend of [...]

Happy New Year and Decade

Traditionally, I am incommunicado during the month of December. This is my time for rituals of reflection and spiritual rejuvenation. The last week of the year aligns Christmas, birthdays, and New Year’s: the sequence punctuates the finality and passing of time, which inspires me to make my surroundings comfortable and cocoon myself from the exterior [...]

SPEAK, MEMORY

Me, at the time I began writing Strange Tango.

The destinies of a pantheon of gifted Cornell graduates unfold through the internet.

        After my niece had graduated from pre-kindergarten several years back, she started summer classes at vacation bible school where she saw Luke, a former classmate who had left the class to be home-schooled in [...]

New Age Traveler

Moulton Brown's New Age Traveler kit

New Age Traveler is an excerpt from Millennium Muse, my book of narrative nonfiction, essays, and observations.      

        My favorite travel agent booked me for automatic electronic upgrades to first class, so on two round trip legs between Manchester, New Hampshire, and Chicago, air travel was sheer bliss. On the second [...]

Nest

Our home in Windham, New Hampshire

Nest is an excerpt from Millennium Muse, my book of narrative nonfiction, essays, and observations.

        Except for the house in Somerville, which Joseph bought with our best man at our wedding as the first real estate project for flipping, I have always located the properties and negotiated the purchase of [...]

Passion for Teaching

Jack Hunsucker was my debate coach at Lawton High School in Lawton, Oklahoma. He fielded award-winning debaters, speakers, and orators on the high school and National Forensic League circuit and later became a drama coach. Thanks to my debate instructors, I became the first place women’s extemporaneous speaker in our NFL tri-state region. In retirement, Jack has taken on the role of author [...]
