Description
Taken last the night before last with my KodaK 330 .. (LOL here i have a new camera and all these colorful shots and I am posting this one). But it wouldnt leave me so I have to share it..
THis left a strong impression in my head so strong I cannot stop thinking of her ... one of the most beautiful dances I have ever witnessed.. I was looking at artwork in Venice beach and this lady runs up to me with drumsticks waving .."HAVNT YOU HEARD??!! OVER THERE GO OVER THERE!!!".. and so I walk toward the light of a setting sun.. . start hearing this remarkable sound... THere is this big Circle of what must have been 100 drummers beating away furiously-! It reminded me of Africa ...Ohh I have never heard such a powerful wonderous sound!! IT got louder , and louder , and LOUDER!! AFrican drums , Native American drums, bongos , Drums from India and China and they all were creshendoing into a louder and louder torment of powerful rythem ofspiritual fervor..!! Big ring of spiritual happenings I cannot compleatly begine to discribe.. In the middle of this ring of drummers are dancers -anyone who wanted to..danced with thier entire body , heart and soul!! Some of them were dressed exoticly.. some were plain but they just danced with all thier being.. !!!!!!!
This girl, moved me beyond words ...that you see in this picture above- had the most dramatic spiritual dance of all .. nothing else mattered but the drum-beat to her !! IT all was left behind and her body swung and moved in a beautiful way that grabbed my full attenetion.. and she was amazingly beautiful to me..and so, I snapped this shot as she raised her hear to the sky and swung her head back - it was like she was so compleatly FREE... I can not even begine to tell you how I felt ..SHE was simply and purley beautiful beyond words. Thanks for letting me share my experiance with you.
Thank you for all your love and support and comments. I appreciate your time and love you all!! ♥ hugs~Kimmers!

Most expressive! To capture "feeling" on film is a gift!

You REALLY captured her at the perfect moment and the power of the music and rhythm just radiates through the image. I really love how music, and especially the heartbeat of drums, takes us to another much freerer state of being. And I also love how the artist in you is so curious and stimulated and inspried by the spontaneous things and how you share it. Wonderful, joyful work. :o) CC

I remember going into a church and there was a rather spiritual song being sung and for some reason I looked straight up to the balcony and saw this girl singing, eyes closed, hands raised up to heaven and I was transfixed with the beauty of it all. I would love to have captured that image, but in a way I have.

She is spectacularly beautiful, and lost in a world you have given us a glimpse of. A beautiful shot, kimmers. The blurred movement of the shawl with the perfectly captured sharp frozen image of the girl...genius.

I think that's what the challenge of being a photographer can be sometime..to try record and transfer your profoundly moving experience to others. First you have to be sensitive enough to recognize the signifigance of the event and then have the talent to capture the right image that shares it with the viewer. Not an easy task, but you approach it with this image.
