Happy Anniversary, Lora & Mike

Married on 6/6/2006, my friends Lora and Mike eloped to the privacy of Boston Public Gardens for their wedding ceremony, one year ago. Congratulations!

Five times, trophy out on loan

My nephew knows, from 2005, how many times Liverpool have won the European Cup. Five times. I am lucky they have all been in my lifetime...a win every 6 years.

Today, May 23, Liverpool were in the Champions League final again, hoping to win it for a sixth time. We didn't.

All credit to AC Milan for a classy finish, their 7th win. All credit to Inzaghi for handling the ball into the net, for the first goal. There were some strange refereeing decisions and some strange UEFA decisions on ticket allocations. And how come up to 2000 Liverpool fans, with valid tickets, were not allowed to enter the ground?

It's a sad week in Liverpool but let's remember the numbers: Real Madrid 9, AC Milan 7, Liverpool 5. At the end of the storm is a golden sky...

Triveni Dance Ensemble

Echoes, a presentation by the Triveni Dance Ensemble was performed at Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. This marks 35 years for the school and the wonderful and tireless Neena Gulati. Pictures are here .

Paris, ville de la lumière

Après une semaine de la photographie à Paris, nous sommes revenus à Boston hier, avec quelques centaines d'images. J'avais presque oublié quel bel endroit c'est. Avec l'arrivée de la lumière d'or d'après-midi, il avait lieu presque en valeur les heures du soleil de aveuglement de midi, quand seulement les chiens fous et les photographes anglais … devraient boire le café et attendre le d'or de l'heures. Cartes postâles de Paris, ici.

Ten Arangetrams 2007

Following a great series of portraits for Ten Arangetrams in 2006, we recently photographed some more students from the Triveni Dance School to continue our series. While still editing and retouching them for use by the students, we hope to have some highlights here soon.

We are currently taking bookings for photographing arangetram performances over the summer and fall of 2007. Please call the studio to see if we have your date free.

Cool for Catskills

I was lucky enough to work with two terrific modern dancers recently; Kyla and Amber from NYC. Amber is with the Elisa Monte Dance Company and Kyla is freelance dancer and video producer. I was mixing ambient light with strobe here to get some of that motion blur. Cool pictures here.

Your dance is tango...music please

I was invited to photograph the Fred Astaire Dancesport Championships last weekend. What an exhausting and exciting event. I was truly amazed by the dance skills on display. You name it; [aside from Indian classical dance] they taught it. After a few late nights editing, the pictures are available now, here. There are about 1600 hundred images, arranged by day and session. Please take a look.

Thanks to Elizabeth at the Norwood studio for making this happen. Thanks to Kim and Karen, the new England regional numbers 1 and 2.

We are already receiving phone calls at the studio, asking about the photographs. We had hundreds of cards at the show, with the link to the competition images.
