“Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts are pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that’s what we are.”
– Mickey Hart



“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”
– Plato



“Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.”
– Bruce Barton


“When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring.”
– Madeleine M. Kunin




“One of the things that distinguishes poetry from ordinary speech is that in a very few number of words, poetry captures some kind of deep feeling, and rhythm is the way to get there. Rhythm is the way the poetry carries itself.”
– Edward Hirsch


“I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there’s no music. Without rhythm, there’s no cinema. Without rhythm, there’s no architecture.”
– Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

“Rhythm is a gathering. The precise composition of McCurry’s pictures brings out how a scene of rhythm–of music, of dance–so often attracts people (and animals, and spirits) to gather on the periphery, to watch, to laugh, to join in singing, dancing, tapping feet.”
– Joseph Albernaz, Ph.D.

The photography, the quotes … they always get me!!
Beautiful pictures and beautiful words 🌞 🙏 🕺
These, as per usual, are wonderful. Where would mankind be without music and art? They are embedded so deeply in our souls. I love all music, but I have a particular fondness for street musicians, they are often so talented and just, “playing for change.”
I REALLY enjoyed these pics! I wrote a comment but it must have erased! But your pics were so good I had to make sure you were aware so I’m writing another comment ha! Especially loved the trumpet player from USA and the accordion player from Mexico. Awesome shots
I always enjoy finding your posts here on WP. I love the feeling and stories of your pictures, I especially love the trumpet player from US and the accordion player from Mexico. Those really resonated with me. I enjoyed that special X factor from each of those pics 🙂

You capture it beautifully Mr. McCurry, without music, without art, what would life really be worth? It is so deeply embedded in the soul or man.
As always amazing pics! Love them
As always amazing pics! Love them
So true. We may not be able to understand another’s language, but we can always understand the music which can be so fulfilling.
