In order to understand another’s culture, one must become immersed into that culture, stepping beyond one’s own socio-cultural norms into an unfamiliar one, takes an open mine, and a willingness to release biases.

Photography may seem like just clicking pictures of anything and everything. And that is exactly what the lay man perceives it to be.

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends.

The dance complements the social and cultural background of the song, and as such the moves must perfectly complement the song and its historical artifacts. The first element of this dance involves popping, which includes a quick contraction ...
