Thank you richard for the heads up. It was definatly worth checking out. You have mastered the art of photographing dancers. The work I see here is as good as Louis Greenfield which is about as high a complement as I could give you. These dancers must love to death. V

Kees Terberg	PM reply	24-Mar-2008 13:58
Pure control, delicate tonal rendition, perfect composition and every image is a technical masterpiece without even looking at the subject matter. When we look at the picture we only notice the subject and you are the master at that too. Each image is a gem, a virtual journey back stage. The square format reminds me of the use of a medium or large format camera. In a way using one of those hints respect towards the portrayed as you bow before you press the shutter button. These images reveal that respect. An awe that I can only admire you for and the beauty with which you have captured these beautiful dancers just sets you apart. Magnificent work!
