A set of 22 sepia photographs all datestamped on the reverse 31 March 1939. They came in an envelope from Jerome Ltd of Kings Cross Road London that was addressed to Miss Sear. From other photographs of the same girl her first name can be identified as Marjorie.
My 3 and 4 year old daughters in their weekly tap class. Pentax K20D with Lensbaby composer and double glass optic at f/2.8, 1/100 sec, ISO 800
Here's Jessie following the moves of her teacher and doing a pretty damn good job if I might say so myself.
The first half of Jessie's class is ballet and the second half is tap. She says she prefers tap. Her reason...she likes when her shoes make noise. :)
I miss being that little girl in those pictures, the girl who could be herself and people would be happy that i was myself and that i was finding out who i was.
But now it seems like more and more people want me to not be who i am,
I know i have this little kid side about me but thats just who i am.
Growing up isnt for everybody, is it?
(This is more about the concept then it is the picture)
The snow melted enough to uncover the trampoline. Yay! Showing some dance moves to an out of town visitor.
my aunt gert, once a hoofer always a hoofer, knew Ginger Rogers loved butterscotch as she read it in photoplay. so she made up this dish with butterscotch pudding and chocolate oreos:
1. went to store, hair in a Vera scarf
2. flirted with butcher
3. bought 1 box jello butterscotch pudding, 1 package oreos. just regular oreos, they didn't make all that fuss with the double and the mint in those days
4. made pudding
5. watched General Hospital
6. opened oreos, ate a few, threw the rest in the pink melamine bowl
7. stared at it
8. crushed them up with potato masher
8. whipped up pudding with her giant whisk, then frothed on top of oreo chunks
9. grabbed the spatula with the red handle, did 6 swift strokes
10. 4 more strokes
11. fridgidaire, 3 hours
12. argued with sister on the phone
13. pulled it out for us as we ran the lobby intercom
14. watched us devour it, proudly, never had a bite.
My girlfriend wanted a picture of her tap shoes, and requested a low key effect. I've read on flash and strobes setup, but this is uncharted territories for me. But, after a few (almost 40 pictures), we found a setup that didn't have any bad shadows, enough details where it was needed... something we could work with.
In the end, pretty happy with my first low key!
Technical information:
Shot at 55mm, ISO100 f11 and 1/60s.
Used a 580EXII on camera but only as a master. It was toned down -2 1/3 stops
A single light source, a handheld 430EX with no diffuser on the far right side, just over the camera plane. It was far enough to the right that it did not light the inside of the shoe.
Post processing was darkening the strap (upper left) as this part was hit hard by the flash, and blurring the lower right part of the seamless since it had reflected a little light.
I'm learning and want to improve. Don't hesitate to post constructive criticism!
Je veux m'améliorer. N'hésitez pas à me donner des critiques constructives!

Oh, I don't know how I feel about this. It could be much better.
It's sort of hard to tell, but those are my tap shoes. :)
Shot on iPhone 4. Today is the first day back at school after the winter holidays, which means it's nearly time to start this term's dance class. This month the girls are trying their hand (well, feet) at tap - so Anna and Meg headed off to buy tap shoes. I was at work but Anna said Meg's face at making that tap sound for the first time was priceless. The iPhone is lousy in low light, but I knew I wanted to shoot the shoes tonight after work. So, I got Meg to stand under the bright kitchen light and I lay on the floor with my hiking head torch strapped on.
My wife Jane's Tap dance shoes... She hasn't worn them in seven years and really misses it. Hope she (and Nell) can find time to get back to it sometime... it brought her so much joy. She discovered it doing a documentary project on tap dancing by older folks in Philly back in the early 90's. Seeing folks of all ages and abilities work at it and have such a good time doing it was thrilling to her, so she took a few classes. She got bit by the bug and had lots of fun with it a few years, but then time slips away with young kids. I shot this in my studio some time ago, as a reminder to make sure she gets room to get back on her toes. Time is always short, but we should try our best to find time for the things we love. Neg shot around 2002, recent scan of it.
Arwen, Charlene, Cathy, Terry, James, Mission, and Emily performed a tap dance to “The Nicest Kids in Town” from the Hairspray soundtrack at the springtime “Fun Party” just after the Chinese New Year holiday.
Once it is time to switch from ballet to tap, the dance instructor sits on the floor to help with countless tap shoe laces.
"We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams."

Este es el modelo azul y blanco de los zapatos de claqué que Casimiro ha hecho para una asociación en Londres.
Jacq bought these adorable (though somewhat useless ... for someone who can't tap dance) tapshoes at the Rozelle markets!
