One dancer, five hours, and 1,384 images
It was twenty-four years ago that I got my first taste of dance photography. It all started with my dear friends Stephen and Canan Jackson of the John Hayes O'Neill School of Dance in Central New York.
Since then I have had many wonderful opportunities to meet and photograph talented dancers and choreographers including a brief encounter with Merce Cunningham, David Dorfman and Mark Morris. I even had a portfolio meeting with Alvin Ailey's photographer, Jack Mitchell.
Needless to say, I love dance photography and I love working with dancers. I have worked with several Seattle based dance groups throughout the years. I am now working with Serendip Dance, co-directed by Sarah Kathryn Olds and Eric Aguilar. Recently Sarah and I spent a little bit of time together in the studio... around five hours. Here's what we got!

On the couch with Casey Brown
I'm still working on some ideas for the couch series. Lucky for me I have several clients that are willing to sit for test shoots. I met Casey several years ago when he hired me to do a headshot for him. Casey is an actor, stage combatant, teacher, and fight choreographer in the Seattle area.
Busy guy!
Now that the weather is getting a bit better I think the couch will be going on location for some test shoots. Get ready Casey, we are going outside! :)

It's been a long time...
It's been a couple of years since my last solo show and I thought it was time to start showing my work again! I have been playing around with some alternative, historical, and traditional photographic processes for the past two years and will be showing a group of my botanicals and trees at the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Library at the UW this month.
How did I get this show you ask? It's a crazy long story and it is proof that we live in a small world. All I can say at this point is that if it wasn't for my new friend Judy from Israel I would not be showing my work here. Thanks, Judy!
Last week I picked up some of the work from the framers. Thank you Courtney at Wallflower Custom Framing. You totally rock... the pieces look absolutely gorgeous. Folks, if you need something framed I highly recommend you stop by Wallflower in West Seattle.
This morning I spent a few hours hanging the show and I am pretty pleased so far. Next Friday (March 8th) is the opening reception from 5:00-7:00pm. The show will be up from March 1st to March 29th, 2013.
The Elisabeth C. Miller Library is located at:
Center of Urban Horticulture of the UW Botanic Garden
3501 NE 41st St.
Seattle, WA 98195
I invite you all to the opening reception!
Here's a sneak peek... you'll have to come to the opening reception to see what's inside!
