Frolicking Fun Friday: Painting with Fire Part 2

YouTube video (Vancouver Music Video Production by Hemstock Films: http://www.hemstockfilms.com, http://www.facebook.com/hemstockfilms, Artist: Deorro Song: Five Hours Website)

Eureka! My friend Linda who came with me to see this group two weeks ago at the Shipyards farmer's market in North Vancouver BC, sent me this video. It is of the same group of fire performances (except for one female) at one of the beaches in Vancouver, BC. I had posted photos that didn't do their performances any justice, "Frolicking Fun Friday: Painting with Fire" (http://xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2014/09/frolicking-fun-friday-painting-with-fire.html)

Wow! Isn't that more like it? Doesn't video just make performances more alive?

What do you prefer: photos or videos and for what context? How does the essence of the image/experience differ? Does your essence change: do you think/feel any differently when viewing them?

Frolicking Fun Friday: Painting with Fire

My apologies in advance as I couldn't download a video about this, and the photos, taken from a girlfriend's phone, are the largest I can showcase. (I just purchased a new cellphone as one was essentially on its way out and I didn't know how to use my new one yet.)

In the photo above, the man is lying on this back on the floor with his legs up in the air holding her up in the air while they are both "fire performing." What stamina, strength, endurance, and balance!

Last Friday, albeit the weather was rather cool with temperamental rain, I am glad we both stayed to hear two bands play at the Shipyards Night Market, a farmer's market with live bands, in North Vancouver, BC (http://vancouversnorthshore.com/whats-happening/night-market-the-shipyards/).

We were pleasantly surprised and delighted when these incredibly talented, acrobatic fire performers did their magic with a band, Painting with Fire in the background. There were five of them, one women amongst them.

Here is one of the male performers:
