I had the pleasure of spending a full day photographing the brilliantly talented and passionate members of Tango No.9 near the Oakland Marina. A few images from our shoot grace the pages of their newly designed website, while others remain tucked in their back-pocket, to be released when you least expect. If you’ve never heard their music, you can listen to their  haunting melodies on “Live At The Columbarium” here. It will either make you break into dance, or wish you could.
