Growing up, my home was full of Life and Sports Illustrated magazines. My Dad worked for them, making color separations. We bonded over the enlarging loop studying the details in the images. Thus, my interest in photography was born. I began studying film photography in college and continued post-college. Now, years later, I shoot digital with a mirrorless digital Nikon Z-6-2. I took this image while strolling through Lincoln Center Plaza in NYC. The dancers were playfully practicing small works during their lunch break. I positioned myself and serendipitously captured this movement as well as the joy on their faces.
