Video for Jeanne Ruddy Dance

November 10th, 2011

Dancers are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Shooting video makes it that much more so. This was for Jeanne Ruddy Dance’s celebration of 12 years collaboration with costume Designer, Jeffrey Wirsing—Parade, Dance, Costumes and Fashion Meet.

I love this job!

November 9th, 2011

Wednesday we were on location, shooting material for a project on a beautiful sunny, breezy fall day. These covered bridges are such graphic structures (inside and out) and, tracking them down takes one down back roads that we never would have taken otherwise.
