30-day challenge - Day 19: Something you don’t have much of.

Moments when things go according to plan. They're pretty rare, but at least for the first 30 seconds of this concert dance rehearsal things went well... (I'm the dancer in the centre of this pic, right at the front, wearing the dress from yesterday's pic). Almost as soon as this pic was taken (by my friend Karen, on stage door) I started getting bits of dances mixed up and forgetting them... In the middle of the actual concert they changed the lighting and I ended up completely missing the middle of one dance, just standing around... of course, that was the bit when I was front-centre...

Those smooth moments are pretty rare the rest of the time too - but all the more precious for when they do come along; they are those times when the photo you plan actually turns out first time, or you drive home and hit every green traffic light, or you turn the radio on to hear your favourite song playing... :) So be aware of them when they do pop up, and appreciate them for what they are - little moments of magic :)

@bella_ss Unfortunately the stage lights just made everything look glowy and hazy, hence the B&W...

Amazing shot of you and the others dancing. You all look so serene and in the moment :)!

PS: You know what, I'll just fav it ;)!

This is so wonderful... The lighting is perfect and your choice of B&W just accents it so well.

@alia_801 OK, I thought the dress is so pretty it deserves to be seen in colour, but I know what you mean sometimes it loses the impact in colour.

this is so nice!

so dramatic!

Great photo - and fabulous story. It's very true about things going right or things going wrong. They say we can manifest the good or the bad, by thinking them into existence. I'm thinking positive thoughts about your next performance - and I'm sure you'll be the star!

Hope you had fun at the concert nonetheless! And great shot of the rehearsal, especially with the couple of people in the front row. I like it!

Interesting post. I also like the black and white.
June 19th, 2011  
Great shot, and I love the phrase "little moments of magic"!
June 19th, 2011  
It's a beautiful photo. I loved reading your words too
June 19th, 2011  
Excellent photo. I love the lighting. It is perfect for black and white. So dramatic.
June 19th, 2011  
Love the photo, especially in b&w. I always say that planning is over-rated. Of course I say that as I'm stressing about things not going to plan.
June 19th, 2011  
love this!
June 19th, 2011  
Absolutely beautiful! This really catches the mood. Wow!
June 19th, 2011  
Excellent shot of the performers. Agreed too, that performances never go "as planned" which always make them interesting.
June 19th, 2011

I know what you mean- great picture

This is a wonderful shot! And, gosh, if everything went perfectly, we wouldn't appreciate those "little moments of magic!" (I guess that was your point, too :) ) Keep dancin'
