Out In The Street

Street photography is something I've always been interested in,because it makes such random day-to-day activities that may be taken for granted seem fascinating. The spur of the moment shots and the realness are what appeal to me the most. Bruce Gilden is a photographer I enjoy not only because of his work (A Beautiful Catastrophe is my favorite), but his personality. In the video below, I think he is spot on with a lot of his comments, so take a walk with Bruce:



Dancing is good for you. Fact. I like to let loose and be as decadent, insane, naughty, and fun as I can be on the dancefloor...otherwise, what's the point? Sometimes you just have to shake a tail feather and give in to the music and the atmosphere. Shake your rat's nest!

While on the topic of dance and decadence, Anita Berber was a performer who embodied decadence in her dancing, acting, performance art, and life.

Let's face it, music has intoxicating, magical, and healing powers. Whether we are being moved by the bassline, having our heartbeats replaced by something more pleasant pulsing from the speakers, or allowing it as a whole to feed us and nurture us...it has been and always will be there. Music is a constant. The music posted above is for bringing the heat, so these are for cooling it down a bit...just a wee bit though, so don't get all kooky.

Dance With Me - Nouvelle Vague

Gimme Danger - The Stooges

Angel From Above - Horace Andy

You And The Night And The Music - Little Annie

I included The Stooges because Iggy is one of the most energetic and mental dancers ever!
