Great video of Matt Harding dancing with people all over the world, showing one of the many things that connect us to each other.

Matt Harding is quite the guy. Wonderful!

Someone posted it here once before and the usual haters trashed it.

4. Now google for the video from Matt's girlfriend.

I LOVE the Matt dancing video (and find it deeply moving); but the spoof about his girlfriend is hilarious. :hi:

Anyway, he maintains that all natural light photogrphy is astronomical because the Sun is an astronomical body.

11. It still affects me ...

Charlie posted the YouTube link with backstory a month or so ago, and I happened to see it while having a particularly bad day. I just got lost in it, found myself smiling despite myself, and even teared up a bit.

It's just awesome.

Yeah. I know. I'm going to get flamed for thinking this. Oh well.

13. He does ...

That's part of the point.

"The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around." -- Vonnegut.
