Of course, you can always just make your own starter poi by filling a pair of socks with a half a cup of rice each. I like to put the rice into cheap, plain, white, girl's knee stockings so they make nice compact soft little balls. This keeps the rice from cutting through the socks as you spin them.

Sock poi can be made for just a few bucks and look great.
Here's an adorable couple I met both spinning my sock poi.

Poi, The International Language

I've been meeting people with mad poi skills ... like raver boy here.



Look who's back.



Everyone wants to try out my new kite poi.



Turns out you don't even need a common language to learn poi. I taught this deaf girl to spin. She picked it up right away.



If you're happy and you know it spin your poi.



Mari J is a fire spinner from Japan. Her poi dance is fabulous.

Agua Poi

I was trying out my new LED Poi when Sergey Matsko happened along. He shoots what he calls Agua Photos, images that emphasis motion over detail. How perfect for my little light show!

Poi Friends

Poi isn't just fun and healthy, it's surprisingly social. People want to join in or just try so often I now carry a bag full of sock poi I made. I'm making tons of new "poi friends".

This little heart-breaker is Nick from Kahzakistan.



This was his first time spinning. He was a natural.



I like to see how many people I can get spinning at once.
This girl has started meeting me in the park often to Poi.



Bette took the poi and immediately busted out some serious moves.



By far my favorite experience so far was when I taught a whole family to poi in Fort Tryon Park.



Aren't they just adorable?

Poi Art in Union Square

Frank Love took this mind-bogglingly gorgeous photo and was kind enough to let me post it. Click it for hi-res.



I feel so lucky to have been in the right place at the right time to be a part of an image such as this. It might just be my favorite picture of me ever. Thanks, buddy!

Check out f.LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. His work is stunning.

"Kick him in the face! In the face!"

Maybe when the authorities are done investigating fighting dogs in The Bronx they'll get around to the kickboxing humans in Union Square Park.







The most disturbing thing wasn't the fights, it was the number of onlookers cheering them on.

Sweet Jesus.
