exactly



I watched the annie liebovitz documentary recently and she said something I really loved.



she said that dance is art that sort of lives in the air.



exactly, I thought. that is exactly right. and as much as there was to take from that documentary, that is probably the one and only thing that will stay with me. forever and ever amen. that one sentence, that one idea. and I really sort of love when that happens.

p.s. deets on the above amazing photos:

I love your photos and was wondering about Polaroids. How do you find film for your camera, and once you print the photo, how do you get prints without a negative? I think its a wonderful medium but know nothing about how to make copies, etc. Would love your suggestions.

oh yum.
the thing i love about dance is that you can see, nay, feel when someone is dancing with their whole soul. and it moves me. i can't make it through a night of SYTYCD without crying at least once.

I'm a little late to the party on this one...

I also have one strong moment from that documentary that has stayed with me - Annie's sister talked about how much of their youth they spent in a car and how she feels that's why they all became artists in their family, because they saw the world through a ready-made picture frame - a car window.

Which as a filmmaker resonated deeply.

Thanks for sharing! (Been nosing around your blog for a while now, and love to visit now and then....)
