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!
