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...

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 [...]

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 [...]
