The Cat Woman, as all cat burglars should do, shunned cameras. Photos were banned during the performance, and she constantly turned her head away from the cameras afterwards. How is one going to gain notoriety when you do not even have a good picture for your Wanted poster?
She might have to resort to alter ego: the Black Swan. Ballerinas love the spotlight and the centre stage. Odile in this role held poses for a long time at Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in Tokyo. Even with an iPhone beautiful photos were possible.
Maybe we all need an alter ego.
The B&W photo is terrific — one of those “wish I’d taken it”!!!

It is just a tiny cropped section of a larger photo in the earlier burlesque post. That and major blurring of the background. It really is not a good photo. Way too grainy. Just looks good when it is thumbnail size. 😉

Hey, sometimes grainy and blurry is good. I love it. Great composition, great movement and energy.

How bizarre! I just went to my first Dr. sketchy event at a Dick Blick store in Manhattan yesterday! Fun. 🙂
