bharatanatyam to bollywood

A good friend asked me to photograph the first performance of Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam, by his daughter and one of her classmates. Years of training went into this presentation of classical and modern India dance, focusing most of their effort on Bharathanatiyam, a form of Indian classical dance that originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu. Widely for its grace, elegance, purity, tenderness, expression and sculpturesque pose, it was a fantastic performance well received by friends and family of the girls, and I was honored to have been asked to photograph the event.  Intermingled between each of the performances, various folks described the dance and the tradition surrounding the event.  It was a truly special event. view more photos from this event

I got a bit of an early birthday gift to go and see one of my all time favorite bands in a special performance highlighting their latest album, and a solid recap of one of the albums that made them hugely popular, Moving Pictures. It was an awesome performance, as always.  I have seen just about every show they have done from the beginning, and have never been disappointed in the least. Indeed, I am pretty sure that there was not a disappointed soul in this sold out show either. view more photos from this event
