The music, the movement, the art

Bares her soul for all to see.

The heat, the rhythm, the flow

Builds into a sweat soaked frenzy,

With her eyes focused

On another place and time.

Life’s vicissitudes wheel through time;

In a chaotic gyre

It must be connected to blindfolded eyes.

Sands rippled past her

Flowing to a rhythm

Defined by the pulsing heart of time.

The dry rasp of the movement

Of the waterless sea

Pierced by the whistle of wind over reeds.

Purples, blues and pink,

Our mood flashes so fast

There’s no time to think.

The day’s excitement flows

Into a passionate gloaming.

Instead of “I can’t do this!”

Think: “Why not take a shot?”

Take from them

What will make you better.

Ignore the rest.

In honor of #WorldPhotographyDay, here are a collection of images made today. Some might be considered "street" photography and others are just plain documenting #opa (Other People's Art), but all are representative of my day's activities.

All images are lightly edited. I may dive into a few of them and give them a more intensive processing pass. So, this might not be the only time you see 2 or 3 of these in my feed...

Life’s vicissitudes wheel through time;

There are the normal ups and downs

(or peaks and valleys)

And moments that accelerate

In a chaotic gyre

where you don’t know up from down.

It must be connected to blindfolded eyes.

Flailing all around

I spin and I scream

I must leave this

With a tumult of Phrygian tones

Punctuated by raspy croaks and cries.

Came to me in my sleep again.

Life’s spice palls

Like battery acid clinging

We can trudge

But we always

Keep our feet moving.

Until we don’t.
