Mexican tray dance

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

Normally I am in in-focus kind of gal. When I take photos I hate things not to be in focus. I am trying to break out of that habit and try some creative things. While in Mexico on our Chichen Itza tour, we were entertained at lunch by dancers balancing trays of glasses and bottles on their heads. I purposely blurred the images, hoping to evoke the feeling of movement. These are the results. I don’t know whether they worked or not. I kind of like them but Rick isn’t sure. What do you think: are they just blurry images to you or do you find them interesting?

Watch the video now. I love how the tray keeps going around on his head once he has stopped.

Love the pics! And the vid is excellent, too. What a funny skill to have, being able to spin a tray of drinks on your head.

I knew a bellydancer who could dance with a jug of water on her head. It didn’t spin around, though.
