poetry in motion

Preparation began last month, with the addition of new softboxes and attachment pieces for the strobes, plus new black seamless paper for a low key backdrop. Set off at noon to set up. Group shot in front of the local theater, then back to the studio for headshots and then what I have wanted to do for two years...action shots. Home at 9. Sleep elluded me while images bounced in my head. Post production has begun. Half are the headshots, half look something like this... More to come. So many critiques I have of myself but the dancers were wonderful. Here are a few, in no other order than chronological.


will close with my girl. :)

Matthew worked with his dad this morning at the Joe Jonas iWin Fun Run fundraiser event for Special Olympics. Well. He got to go to the VIP meet and greet, where he met both Joe and Nick, plus two other actors Alyson Stoner and M Dot (?). He even went through their RV!

Open House and Installation

It is a lovely studio space with color, light, a costume vault from the old bank, and mysterious angles. It is now adorned by 2 dozen of my images that I am pleased to have installed there, at least for now. About performance, not competition, so glad to be part of this studio's growth.
