VALSE LENTE...A STORY

Taken at a Dance Hall, where more mature people gather in the afternoon and come to dance...

 

...This lady, one of the first to arrive at the dance hall, was well liked and cherished.

 

She was obviously just there to see and enjoy her friends dancing.

 

I had already taken several shots, and sat down on the side to absorb the whole atmosphere; when out of the corner of my eye I saw movement.

 

The one foot was moving with the tune, the stick tapping the beat, the rest of her body still, her face ecstatic.

 

I wondered where she was in her memories, for a moment I saw the young girl emerging, a youthfulness in her shining eyes.

 

The music stopped, applause, her shoulders sagged a bit; she leant a bit more heavily on her stick.

 

Valse Lente...

 

The slow waltz...

 

In photography, emotion is the often discarded yet so important ingredient!
