The roof of the New York State Theatre offers an ideal setting for photography. It consists of a wide open space with some of New York’s most vivid architecture as the background. So I thought to myself, why not take advantage of the great Spring weather and capture some dance shots up there? Thus begins a new photography series, titled “Rooftop Glimpse” of various polaroid shots during matinees at the State Theatre.
Today we performed Balanchine’s Jewels. Hopefully I will be able to turn this into a weekly post, so long as the weather cooperates. Enjoy
Me.

[...] Continuing my new photography series, I bring you two Polaroid shots from the Balanchine ballets Rubies and Diamonds. These were taken on a sweltering 97-degree New York City day. Because of the extreme heat, one of the dancers was only able to pose with his knee on the ground for a few seconds before feeling the burn of the pavement (now that’s what i call tenacity!).
