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!). Enjoi

How about some night-time shots? Would like to see the skyline glittering along with the dancers…

The dancers are equisite, the architecture is mundane - what a contract of aesthetics!
