Monday night, and d.b.a. is filled with young folks, European tourists and, I assume, some regulars who love the show that Glen David Andrews puts on every week. I‘m there with my lighting set-up, getting some images in between shaking my own butt, and then Darryl Young, a.k.a. Dancing Man 504, jumps on stage to strut his stuff.

I shoot several images of his feet moving at a lightning pace, and suddenly he defies gravity, as is often the case with Darryl. I’ve been around the world making adventure travel images, but New Orleans still serves up treasures like these every time I go out to shoot.
