Happypoppeye PM reply 03-Mar-2009 04:38
The thing that really strikes me in this gallery is the last shot. Such a sublime and extraordinary looking pose, perfectly captured, of a professional of profesionals dancer no doubt, and only enhanced by the lighting, angle and what has to be the newly designed Yves SL jean dancer wear used only by the most well known, as well as in the know dancers. The rest of the gallery is OK ...I mean, oh, I thought this was the Vietnam gallery ...I'm outta here.
