The Ballerina Project

The main inspiration, I think, behind the Ballerina Project is simply dance and the appreciation of dance along with the emotion behind dance. The photographer, Dane Shitagi, has been running this on-going project for about fifteen years. (whoa, '90s throwback, am I right?). I think the fact that all of the images were captured in film for he longest time is really special, too, and only recently was digital photography used for this unique dance photography project. I think I chose this project because I don't dance, and I admire those that do (especially "Dancing with the Stars..... Oh my gosh, and "Bunheads"... that show was amazing and very underrated RIP).

Dance is something that I really appreciate from afar and wish I would get into if I really had the time. I'm also basically Chad in High School Musical 2, where I say "I Don't Dance" and then break out into song and dance... although I'm still pretty bad. I can admire dance, but I'm not passionate enough about trying it. Maybe I will someday.

Oh, and as usual, I couldn't pick just one favorite...
