Beautiful Dancers of 2008

I made thousands and thousands of images of dancers in 2008 and created 18 dance galleries here on pbase! I have selected 4 special images from each gallery and placed it on a row.
Each of the 4 images are your favorites and my favorites from each gallery

When I started 2008, none of these images existed and soon we will all start 2009. I hope there is much beauty and great opportunity awaiting each of us in 2009!

Thank you for your continued support!

Phyllis Stewart		26-Dec-2008 00:52
Richard, you are my photo hero! No one comes even close to you in catching action. Your lighting and composition are perfect! You really should publish some coffee table books. Needless to say, you got my vote!

shatterbug		25-Dec-2008 21:08
A fine checkpoint in your photographic life...you certainly had a great year creatively, and I look forward to more of your brilliant photography in the coming year!

gardener		25-Dec-2008 18:02
Happy to see your composite gallery as I had missed some of them. Once again, you are at the top of the mastery of light, compositionn and subject. Next year you could perhaps withdraw from the unearthly perfection you have achieved and move towards a more Degaish imperfection and feeling...

John		25-Dec-2008 17:09

Richard, as you said, when the 2008 started, none of these existed. That gives a strong feeling of a great accomplishment and the pride for what one person can do. Brilliant collection and Happy New 2009! I wish you many more masterpieces that don't exist at the moment :)
