I have reviewed and edited the images of dancers I photographed over the last
30 years. Each Wednesday, starting with today (Act I, 1995-2002), I plan
to post images in four “Acts,” from four periods of work.

Dance in Four Acts: Act I, 1995-2002.
Amazed, learning, and in awe: I began working with dancers primarily
from The San Francisco Ballet in 1995, and then, later on, in New York City with dancers
from many companies, especially Alvin Ailey, New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater,
David Parsons, Paul Taylor and others. I made images that were new to me.
Dancers are fantastically athletic as well as artistic, capable of
expressing a vast array of human emotions with incredible physical
talents and skill. They are also committed and tenacious.
Every one of the hundreds of photoshoots with dancers filled me with wonder,
astonishment and immense admiration. Here are a few images, from many thousands.
There is nothing like a dancer!
