What photography is to me now, is what dance was to me in my youth. It was my life and it started as far back as I can remember. I had dreams and aspirations to grow up and DANCE, as I chasse'd throughout the house, daydreaming about doing hundreds of chaine turns into the perfect russian.
To see Robriana up on stage, beautiful, graceful, and doing what I yearned to do most of my life, my heart was filled with joy as tears continued to stream down my cheeks. I had my camera with me during the entire performance, but no pictures. Neither videography nor photography were allowed and (I never thought I would say this) I can appreciate that. Had multiple flashes been going off throughout the show or any bright lcd screens distracted my full view of the stage, I wouldn't have been able to take it all in and fully experience the amazing performance by this TALENTED group of young people. They danced from their hearts and it touched my soul, just as true artists do.
For the sake of recording this special night, I made sure to have my camera in hand when we met her outside of the venue after the show. So here’s my girl…
Love you so much and I’m really, REALLY proud of you.
