Aspen Santa Fe Ballet

So I’m the official shooter for the Augusta Ballet in town. www.augustaballet.org I mainly cover the people around the events, and not the events themself, usually a copyright issue is involved, or the lighting is too dim etc. Well I said to hell with that last night since the lady said “No flash photography”. Game on. No flash, no problem.

The last set involved black lights and full bodysuits. There was also a screen in front of the stage that projected different scenes like the moon, sun, and other weird junk. It was a super cool performance though, and I actually stayed awake.

I am obviously by no means a professional ballet aficionado, but to see that kind of entertainment and art locally was truly something worth seeing.

Just another FYI: I will be out of town starting tomorrow and will not be back in town until the 17th. I’m going on a family vacation to Alaska!

A while ago I posted this as a page on the website under nyc-ballet. I thought I’d share the images with everyone else that may not have gotten to see these yet. It was truly a great evening to see this show go about. So either check out the slides below, or head over to their own page.

Augusta Ballet: Ballet Stars of New York

Friday was a fun evening of suits, tuxes and fancy dresses. The Ballet Stars of New York performed at the Imperial Theatre. Wendy Whelan and Albert Evans from New York City Ballet did a stellar job of ballet that even kept most southerners entertained. I took only a few shots of the actual performance, but I did manage to get a few nice photos of the two in action.

I’ve waited a few days to post this image on the blog, but it’s been on Flickr since Sunday or Monday! Phew. I’m in the process of moving this week so my photo jobs will have to wait just a little bit. Enjoy!
