This is my personal blog, not a venue for saleable images. In fact, because it's here that I share things that are important to me with the members of the moblog community, photo quality's not my priority. Events, occasions, achievements, thoughts, trips and experiments - you'll find them all here. Contact me for the development version of my photo portfolio, for a selection of saleable images or visit my dance photography blog or my website for cuttings. And remember that all photos remain my copyright unless I've specifically said otherwise.

"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit
"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.. you have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle...."

"Ambition leads me not only father than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for man to go."
........ James Cook
"The grand show is enternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
........ John Muir
"The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
........ Iris Murdoch
"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your picture...."

Spike says:

Dhamaka NLI and about to go back to work says:
You've given me an idea Spike, I'll do the Corset Night in black and white (with maybe a little rope, chains or barbed wire) in your honour
backwards lamb says:
the last omnes are good! barbed wire its starting in here now!!

Geodyne says:
Oh, yes. Yesyesyesyesyes. I especially like the red-lined blue ones.
I can't wait to see the B&W; thing. I'm doing olive green and black.
Spike says:
oh my, barbed wire corset, im sold! !
you ladies, will look absoultly tremendous if i dare be so bold to say!
backwards lamb says:
dave jonah girlfriend libby actually made a barbedwire corset! did you ever see it?
Spike says:
i missed the show, i hear it was lovely though (*in a barbed wire corset-i would find lovely-lovely way)
Dhamaka says:
:-) thank you
btw the b&w; ones are Georges Rech 'vintage' shoes, internally strengthened & contoured by the tango people so nobody.. including nige... gets to wear them but me
nige says:
i'll bet i could squeeze my foor into those, D. now where did i put that shoe horn..?
*adds shoe horn under chocolate body paint on shopping list*
Dhamaka NLI says:
Not at all, j-mnop, they are extremely comfortable and the black ones on the top came back with me on the plane and have been used several times..
But I'm nearly finished the whole Buenos Aires-tango-shoes story on my danceblog, so would you mind if I just pointed you to that when it's done?
(see, you shouldn't have let on that you read and remembered something I've written, you've no idea what you've let yourself in for now....)
Twiglet says:
Lovely shoes Dhamaka and I can't resist adding:
*Nige is cross dressing tango shoe shocker*!
FilbertFox says:

trim says:

Viv says:
they are fantastic - used to jive in stillettos the poor cobbler used to shake his head at the broken heels and said they weren't designed for such treatment - glad yours are and yet still so wonderfully stylish

- comfort comes first now
Dhamaka says:

Dhamaka says:

You could always consider... and I know this is asking a lot... *not dancing* for a night.. Then you could come with us to see MI3
trim says:
