Sarah is a friend who I met up here in New York at  a Super Bowl party.  Here and her mom and dad just moved up here (a few weeks before I did) and are living out on Roosevelt Island (the little island in the east river) together.  We’ve had a great time getting to know them and going over to their place for dinner over the past few weeks and I was so pumped when I found out that Sarah was a Ballerina.  My long time love affair with the classic work of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn has left me wanting to photograph dancers many times, and when the opportunity arose I was so pumped.  I’ll have the film scans and contact sheet for this weeks’ portrait of the week soon, but until then, here are a few polaroids from the shoot.
