a shadow of the man he used to be
This is a shot I took of Quek, a Capoeira dancer. He had just finished a session with the kids and was leaning against the wall watching them begin their drumming session with Paul (see Repercussions dated April 23rd '07). Quek was resting but that didn't last long. The beat of the drum got to him and I caught this shot as he made his way into the drum circle.

Oh a nice shot. I wish you had one of him dancing. That would be wild.
Edwin - I think this is rather scary. Before I read your explanation, I thought this man was the subject of a military or police interrogation.

(Now choking on my loafers)do you remember my shots of the Brasilian capoeiristas in Lisbon about 6 months ago? I was looking at all those pics again about 4 days ago, thinking how great it was to see capoeira done properly.
You should have posted this on Sunday, for World Dance Day. I got great snaps & a movie of an open-air event about 100 metres from my front door, of an amateur troupe of sevillanas flamenco dancers. Carlos Saura, eat your heart out. thanks for coming today, it meant a lot to me, seriously.
great shot sir dwinnie. i don't know why, but i find capoeira a bit annoying!
Very nice. indication of movement is great point of interest.
Hi
I hope you are doing well. I’m so happy to find your blog and I found the portrait of Tugu Drum Circle teenagers on Flickr. They were good shots. Your project is also admirable.
My name is Nafise. I’m an Iranian photographer studying in Malaysia. I really interested in your training project. You know, most of photo-stories that I’ve seen show these kids in hopeless situations. I’m looking for a strong character among them to tell his/her story by photo. I wish you can help me to visit them one day you’ll go there. Actually I feel a deep potential in that environment.
It’s my honor if you have a look at my personal website www.nafisegallery.com , but if you like to see some photo which have taken in Malaysia please click on follow link then search my name on Contributors. http://www.onasia.com/system/advsearch.aspx?qst=
Please let me know if I can meet them
