vz-nostalgia: Are you talking about the lines in the image or under the image, Jerry?

vz-nostalgia: I see you are, like a night moth, attracted to its inner light, Chris.

vz-nostalgia: the words of wisdom from a wise man. I think you are ready to open your own school in Bangkok, sage Ray, to share your vast knowledge with the young ones.

vz-nostalgia:
Eliza: but there will always be another summer...
VZ: Sure there will be, until time comes, when only winters are left to choose from.

vz-nostalgia: You are a man of logic, Louis, and that is what I like the most about you.
But giving me a compliment about a good composition is like admiring that i'm able to breathe. That is what I do for a living, Louis.

vz-nostalgia: The dancing shoes are boxed, dust-free and on teh shelf, Ms. Suzanne. You shall receive an invitation for a dance. Check your mailbox next spring.

vz-nostalgia: Tango Argentino... That's right, Ms. Philine. I think I've listened to too much of Astor Piazzolla lately.
And please be careful on the curves: female hips become fragile at certain age.

vz-nostalgia: a nod of approval from Chantal! Yaaay.

vz-nostalgia:
Armando: Wonderfully evokes the tragedy of a tango and the end of something that was important.
VZ: I think you are onto something here, Armando.

vz-nostalgia: Too late, Patrick. Where you've been? Look what happened now: the summer is gone and the tango is missed.

vz-nostalgia: I think tango will stick for a while, Grandpa Ti, at least until guys like Astor Piazzolla and Gotan Project are still around.

vz-nostalgia: As much as I would like to disagree with you, Ms. KA, I can't. You nailed it. The dance that's never danced will always stay nostalgic.

vz-nostalgia: my pleasure, Carraol.

vz-nostalgia: I see nothing of a kind here, Reflecteur, neither an angle nor perspective. Apparently, a visit to my eye doctor is way overdue.

vz-nostalgia: I was listening to a whole bunch of Astor Piazzolla's albums for the past couple of months, Ms. Natalia. I'm sure, it had an effect on the photograph and the title.

vz-nostalgia: Regrets can certainly do so, Ms. Dorina. On other hand, who can say, they lived their life without regrets? They are as much a part of our life as joys and containments.

vz-nostalgia: As much as I like boardwalks, your view is very idealistic to say the least, Ms. Seraphine. If the world was crisscrossed with boardwalks, the walking real estate would be reduced greatly, which would definitely lead local authorities to install toll boardwalks to reduce the traffic for the rich. The free boardwalks that are left, will be overcrowded with ordinary folks and soon you'll see the tension rising, you'll hear the gunshots at night... Next thing you know, mafia takes control over the construction of new boardwalks...
See where you get me with your innocent pacifistic thought, Ms. Seraphine?

vz-nostalgia: It is a very graphic photograph, Calusarus. That's exactly the reason why it is in b&w.

vz-nostalgia: Merci, Fabrice. Hope you are having a good holiday time, my friend.

vz-nostalgia: I don't think it was exactly Aesop's intent to create a sympathy for the cricket, Ms. Philine. I think he would be disappointed with you.
I wonder why you decided that Aesop's ant is a female. I think females' job within the ant colony is to eat and to reproduce. All other functions (hunting, nest building, colony defending...) are on males.
Besides, I'm sure Aesop had bad grades on zoology back in school. Every kid knows, ants don't eat or gather grains.

vz-nostalgia:
Not only Aesop wasn't prohibited in the Soviet Union, Russian literature had its own Aesop, a brilliant poet Ivan Krylov, who started as a translator of Aesop fables, but later became famous for his own fables. Krylov's and Aesop's names are in every Russian literature school textbooks. I was reading them since I were a little kid.
Regarding your compassion for Aesop's version of Paris Hilton, I think I had a discussion on this topic already with Delia. Let me see, if I can find it... Here it is. Check my replies on two of her comments:

But basically, I don't believe in poetry, or any other arts on a hungry stomach. There are exceptions, of course, but they just underline the basic rule of life: material is primary.
You juxtapose poetry and "fantasy"(?) against work and money. I'm saying, there is no one without the other, Philine.

vz-nostalgia: Love Sally Potter. She's a true renaissance woman. Saw her "Gold Diggers" while back, but haven't seen "Tango Lessons", until tonight. Loved all the good cinematography (b&w with color inserts) and music (especially a Romanian doina theme), but I think the plot is pretty weak.

vz-nostalgia:
Philine: Yes, I agree with you...
VZ: Oh, you gave up without a fight, Philine.
Philine: "Erst das Fressen, dann die Moral" (Brecht)
VZ: Here you are, quoting Brecht once again, even though he was a communist.

Your photography on Wim's blog? Are you trying to increase the traffic of his blog? Why don't you open your own account on shutter, as I advised you? Independance is a good thing, Philine.

vz-nostalgia: I usually pay special attention on how I compose my images, Charles.

vz-nostalgia: There is a little bit of "schwein" in every human being, Ms. Philine (can't help but smile every time I read your "human bean" ). And those, who think otherwise, let them be the first to throw a stone.

vz-nostalgia: It's hard for me to imagine a classical guitar in a tango setting, Ms. Pixie. Tango is usually associated with bandoneon, and a guitar with flamenco. Though, I know that Astor Piazzolla had quite a few collaborations: with a jazz vibrophone virtuoso Gary Burton, with a jazz sax giant Gerry Mulligan, even with the mavericks of classical music Kronos Quartet. I'm sure he did one with a gutarist.
