Drawn...to photograph!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in The Big Draw 2009 at New York's National Museum of the American Indian, a River to River Festival event co-sponsored by The Drawing Center. The program featured the Native Pride Dancers--led by Larry Yazzie (Diné)--who posed and performed dances as we drew.

While I did manage to work up a small pastel drawing, I spent most of my time trying to keep my multicolored fingers away from my white pants and taking lots and lots of photos. Here's a selection.

Here are a handful of my photos from the premiere of Untitled Corner, a site-specific dance work by Jonah Bokaer and Judith Sanchez Ruiz (choreographers/performers) with Daniel Arsham (visual designer/performer) and Alexis Georgopoulos/ARP (original sound score).

NYC Dance Parade 2009

The Saturday weather held up and so did a lot of happy feet--club dancers, rollerskate dancers, Latin dancers, hula hoop aficionados, burlesque ladies, youth marching bands and more--for the 2009 NYC Dance Parade, all along the route from Broadway and 28th Street to Tompkins Square Park.

New Zealand 2009

I brought home many successful photographs from my vacation in New Zealand--truly one of the most photogenic, beauty-blessed lands on Earth--but I finally had to pick just this handful to share here.
