i love to visit
shorpy's. shorpy's features photos from a time long past. a time and a past that i am disconnected from in ways other than chronological - i'm english by birth, canadian by relocation and the experiences and contexts in shorpy's blog are american. but, i can place them in context of the many films and books and my own experiences of america not to mention, the very human moments and experiences that shorpy shares.
this one caught my eye recently.
this is entitled "madame lubouska, national american ballet, 1924". i love this pose. it's so hard to tell if she's moving forward, falling backward, or perhaps somehow miraculously in stasis. i'm thinking of a
gurdjieff stop exercise.
