Smile, It's Friday!!! by alophoto

Smile, It's Friday!!!

This boy was named Angel and he had the BEST dance moves. He was breakdancing on this hard concrete. So fun to watch and I loved his great big grin here. I think he had just finished doing the splits!

This week, I have been working furiously to edit 200ish photos (narrowed down from 344 or so), and create a video of our trip. I finished and shared the video with the leaders, kids and parents last night. They seemed to love seeing the photos and enjoyed the music I chose which was the soundtrack of our time...an eclectic mix of The Beatles, Toto and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I wanted to share my hard work with everyone else, but FB deleted it and Youtube muted it, due to copyright issues with the songs. What the what?! I bought the songs for the video, too. Anyway, if you care to see all of my photos with a few shots from the other leaders on the trip, you can check out the silent video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oOUu8QD-cM

Soundtrack is: Come Together-The Beatles, Africa-Toto, Can't Stop-RHCP and Under the Bridge-RHCP. Feel free to listen to these while watching or your own tunes. Wish it worked as I had hoped.

Here is the one I bought and the one we heard most on our trip...enjoy!

Yes, I made a video from India too, and bought the music to accompany it, but copyright and all that ... what a pain!!! What a lovely image of this happy chap!

@graemestevens Pessimist;).

@alophoto I have Monday off work ;)
November 18th, 2016  
Ahh, do you work weekends? @graemestevens
November 18th, 2016  
@alophoto Good lord no. Monday - Friday only. The last job I had I spent a lot of my time falling victim to call outs at ungodly hours of the day, 7 days a week. I decided that I was getting far too old for that sh*t for a minimal return and that it wasn't good for any of us, so when I changed jobs I only looked for those that expected me to work "gentleman's hours".

A lovely shot af a terrific smile !

I had exactly the same experience with youtube! They deleted all the soundtrack and I had purchased every song! Its not the same without music! Think I'll delete the video! I'm surprised someone would call a boy, Angel! He doesn't look as if he minded!

@maggiemae I think it's a common name in the Latin culture for boys. I've known others. He was so cool a kid!

That body language, that grin -- says it all! Great capture.

Brilliant capture of that happy smile.

He is very handsome, lovely smile and he seems very happy. Too bad about the music in the video. I am sure you are not selling them for profit!!
November 19th, 2016  
Goodness I remember the days I could sit like that, would do myself an injury if I tried it now! What lovely happy smile 😊
