Lighting Kit by Francisco Graciano

When my lighting kit came in the mail a few days ago it was like Christmas morning. I tore open the box and pulled everything out and immediately put it together. I just needed someone to sit in front of the camera. As always my buddy Kevin sat, went through his mail, made some phone calls and let me set up some stuff around him so I could practice. Thanks again for being a guinea pig buddy.

One of my favorite dances in the Taylor rep, Speaking in Tongues, will never lose its relevancy in our world.  The beautifully crafted dance and the genius costume and set design by the Tony award winner Santo Loquasto transports the dancers to a frightening and dogmatic community.  Below is James Samson. Speaking in Tongues was premiered in 1991 and choreographed by Paul Taylor. Image

Last Saturday Heroes Die, the new and inventive rock band, played at Fontana's.  I was allowed to sneak around and practice shooting in low light.  This is one of the shots I grabbed last week.  "Like" Heroes Die on Facebook then go check them out at Fat Baby. Saturday, August 25th at 930pm.  You will not be disappointed.  Great lyrics, great music and features two bad ass Taylor dancers. Image
