You’ve been given a life, might as well have fun

Take Matt Harding for example. He travels the world and films himself dancing the jigg. His travels are paid for by a little known chewing gum company. Nothing more. No props or fancyness. Just a guy dancing. The only interesting thing about it is the monotony of the dance and the number of places he has visited. And the fact that he is clearly having a good time….

His actions give meaning to him. So much meaning that it in fact he gives meaning to other people.

See for yourself. Watch the clip below of a guy dancing the jigg and you’ll find meaning in it. Why is that? It is not the amazing dancing or videography. It has something to do with the fact that he is having fun with the life he’s been given. He’s doing what we all want to do all the time.

And here are the out takes:

Dancing Photos

March 23rd, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-Church

I took these photos at an event in International House, New York some time around 1998. I used the varnished stage to create a reflection. I think they are beautiful. Buy one and put it on your wall. Better yet, buy a triptic.
