Rhythm of Life

Clad in passionate red, virginal ivory and glittering golden trinkets sashaying around her waist, this vivacious lady had me wondering about her.
The fine touch of Indian jewellery to her makeover was enough for me to capture her as the women of the world in my frame. For her, being oblivious of her own persona, more vibrant than the beat of the drums she swayed to and for me capturing her life style in my camera was life in itself.
These images from the Drum Circle on the Venice Beach Los Angeles liven me up to the beauty of music and its expression in her body language.
