A couple of days ago, Toby was clicking through StumbleUpon, one of his favorite internet stomping grounds, and he discovered a blog displaying a bunch of photographs from a series named "Dancers Among Us".
The series is by photographer Jordan Matter, who says that the inspiration for these photos came from watching his son playing with his toys:
I told you I had a hard time choosing.
There are so many more to see, though, so go check them out!

Someday, I shall do a photo series as cool as this.
Happy Tuesday!

“What happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? Why are these pure moments of passion so often replaced with cynicism, boredom, and indifference?

Amazing :O I'm going to buy one of the prints! Side note: when I was younger I always wished I was dancer, so that I could "trip" in public and gracefully go into one of the moves from those photos haha
ReplyDeleteI was in dance when I was a little, little kid, and I quite because I hated being told what to do - I wanted to do my own dance moves, damn it! But now I'm super sad I didn't keep doing it, because I am convinced I would have loved it. Damn you, independent tiny Rachel!
DeleteI remember coming across this photoseries a while ago and I was absolutely floored. I love how powerful these images are! They make me miss my dancing days.
ReplyDeleteThey really are just SO powerful, I keep coming back to my own page and staring at them, haha.
DeleteI LOVE these...they make me so insanely happy. I know a couple of these guys, and it was fun to flash back to dancing with them. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! That's so cool that you used to dance with some of the people in those photos!
DeleteI basically scrolled and stared and scrolled and stared for about 5 minutes while reading this post. I would love to be that flexible and graceful.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I have been considering taking some beginner dance classes lately, and these only made want to do it more...ah, to be graceful. =]
