These are by far some of the best pic's with the IXY,
I used two rolls of film for this event, so I'll be posting 
those as soon as I can. G1-8001

Movement and timing was a big part of this shoot
G1-8002

The IXY has a great widescreen mode, perfect for this kind of event

They were beautiful, graceful and fun to watch:)

I wasn't allowed to photograph their performance, this is their warm-up

The flexibility of dancers is amazing to behold,
And of course the tension between the groups,
so thick you could cut it and BBQ it.
G1-8021 

This one of the best shots, the light, their movement
the tone and look of scene, the angles and geometry
G2-8022

Learning to work with a lack of control in-fact gives you control.
Like a director that lets the actors do their thing and
simply extracts what he wants of it. G2-8023

I really like this one, it retains fluidity, but yet so still,
the two of them were beautiful together.
G1-8041

Near perfect timing on my part, the IXY shutter speed
only goes so high, Canon EOS goes much higher.
I think that learning to take pic's with timing makes for a strong foundation

Widescreen, I've always been a fan:)

Some people might not like this one, but god damn it
I think its wonderful, vibrant, and so beautiful.
Its a really 'cool' effect, simple yet beautiful to look at

I know, the bed is a little odd, but this is N.Y.C
after all,  people need to sleep somewhere.
Damn that bed looks soft and warm:)

This is another fav, I love the tones, the gentle interaction of
of the light and dark. And the people are nice too:)

This was the street(West 24th)just before the performance
started. I had a smoke and enjoyed the gentle sound of rain.
G1-8090

The crowd. Quite the little gathering. Thankfully
there were many young people in the crowd,
perhaps theres hope for the Art's in N.Y.C:)

The color tone together with the widescreen format
makes for a delicate Noir feel. For all those who wanted more
light, 'let their be light':) Cheers!
G1-8109

Their part was extremely well done, a great amount of
feeling, control, and timing.

This is what it was like when I left, rain, rain, hard winds
and my umbrella barely did a bloody thing.
But it was worth it, the performance F#$king moved me.
I was alive again, full of energy:)
