Being a pure spectator is difficult.
I spend so much time looking at the world in photographer mode, thinking about what I see and feel, and how to convey it to others visually. The process of shooting images is a process of remembering for me. In the age of everyone having a camera, living distracted, moving at breakneck speed to the next thing via a screen, that can seem counter intuitive.
Photography is a practice of slowing down. Of examining feelings, moments, and light. I struggle to do this without a concrete tool, something in my hands to remind my brain to calm itself and be in the moment..but I’m working on that.
ANYWAY, these ladies were amazing. This is looking directly up in the air, while they performed a gorgeous physical duet. The costumes, the smiles, the flawless execution.. Golly I love performance art!
