Hula Hooping in America

comments welcome only if you are hula-hooping or have hoola-hooped

in the past

The open rings of the ring, the arms and feet, closed rings on the shadow and tattoo and the cross by the hands, tattoo cross and tattoo figure. A lot comes together here fine - Great shot!

 

although i have the hips for it, i have never been able to hula hoop, so i guess i don't fit in the qualifications to comment. just in case though, this is great for all of the reason stated above. plus, i love the woman's expression, and those are the weirdest tattoos i think i have ever seen. fantastically bizarre.

Alex and Linda, thanks! I followed this guy because of the tattoos and then saw him grab the hula hoop and show off to the woman standing there. Ten minutes later a guy got shot fifty feet from where I was standing. One bullet hit when through his wrist and the other hit his femoral artery and he was spraying blood like crazy.

This is a great slice of life photograph with a feel good quality which the girls laughing emphasizes. The bizzare tattoo's add to the fun..

 

Great picture

wow Tim! that shooting sounds frightening. glad you are okay.

What a fascinating life you lead, Tim. I'd like to follow you around some time (?) This is a great street shot, lots of action, humor and interest. I used to hula hoop when I was a lot younger, but when I've tried it later, it's impossible. More power to the guy.

Linda, there were a lot of people between me and the bullets. Liz, you would be bored to tears following me around but I am glad that you followed my rules about having to have hula-hooped in order to comment. I am not quite sure if Linda was following the rules, ha ha!
