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...

Team Tango Birthday

StrangeTango.com celebrates a milestone first birthday.

15 years was the timeframe between my first interactive multimedia class and the launch of StrangeTango.com: Life as Art. In the 1990’s, the Boston University College of Communication was one of the first colleges in the nation to teach a course in new media technologies. I was one [...]

Lawton Farmer’s Market

At the Lawton Farmer's Market, a truckload of melons from Daniel's Farm in Chandler is a glorious sight.

Before I returned to the southwest Oklahoma town where I grew up, I lived in seven major American cities and traveled throughout the world. When possible, whether in Boston, Bangkok, or Dakar, I would look for local [...]

Meals From the Grill

During the summer months, I love to cook on the grill beneath the portico by the kitchen. My family enjoys al fresco dining among the lush garden and water fountain as appetizing aromas waft through the air. For a week, June 3-9, I prepare lunch or dinner on the grill. My flavor profiles are global—combining Mediterranean, North African, [...]

Russ Morash, the WGBH producer of Julia’s shows and This Old House, is the father-in-law of a friend of [...]

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 [...]
