The Dance; who can deplete it?
Dance fotografers (ph=f) capture a moment in movement; while dancers get birth of their artscience. Lips are forming a little truth; a gentle filosofy.
My need to merge these beautiful actions, led me to create this unique Multi-touch book. My purpose is readers to find an inspiration in the fotos, words, and video; and ultimately to express their artistic being, which is hiding behind so many layers of spiritual fog.
This book is a journey. Journeys need their voyagers. Voyagers require a diversity of scenes; experiences.
So, this book will always be a changing experience; will always move forward; like Earth itself.
Open your eyes. Stop and stare. Read and comprehend. Then, this book will have fulfilled its desire.
