Being a dancer most of my life, it’s no big surprise that I worship and revere the beauty of a dancer’s body. A ballet dancer especially expresses a physical language that is so vibrant, poetic and complex that I can get lost in its lines for hours.

I came across this great flickr stream tonight that has so many gorgeous photos of dancers at work; subsequently, I spent the last hour doing some “research” on form and composition in preparation for some prints I’ll be making tomorrow.

Here’s a peak:
