1/2 mile hike in pointe shoes, 1 hour 40 minutes, and a setting sun

my level of respect for ballerinas has reached a new height. hiking in pointe shoes. this shoot flew quicker than any other, with far less time than would have been ideal, a cloudy sky that obliterated our already limited light, a terrain that required constant movement like a sprawling chattering gypsy caravan, but topped with a group effort nothing less than stellar. the conceptual direction: water, wind. i know i've said it about the dancers before. but really, i love them.
