Imagining Argentina Photo Essay - Showing Rather than Telling Exercise

Emotions: euphoria, longing, amusement, loneliness, passion.

Sight
There was ruthless passionate Argentine tango dance inside the Gaminito Café. A young woman was dancing with a handsome stranger like it was the last night of her life.

Sound
The sound of an old bandoneón was keeping the young couple dancing. The beat of the song was infectious and the audience couldn’t hear anything but the song and the woman’s high heel shoes scratching the old wooden floor.

Taste
The wine from the vineyards in Mendoza was a perfect addition to the evening. The wonderful taste made the Argentines proud, one more time, of the rich lands where they were lucky enough to be born in.

Smell
It was a hot summer day and the smell of tobacco smoke permeated the air. This unpleasant for many of us odor, surprisingly, made the place feel very welcoming and warm.

Touch
A man was caressing his wife’s arm while they were sitting at the table drinking yerba mate tea. He couldn't decide what was more heartwarming – the hot drink or the pleasant company.
