My all time favorite shot
My dear friend Weiferd died this week. Weiferd has been photographing me since I was 17. He is, or was, an AMAZING dance photographer and one of the nicest people on the planet. A funny looking guy, who hung out at dance studios. It's hard to separate my personal loss from the community loss. We've worked together for my entire adult life, but he ended up shooting EVERYONE in the dance world. I could always count on Weiferd to make me laugh, to make me feel beautiful, strong, fearless. I would climb anything, freeze my butt off, hang off of anything to get a great shot for him. I will miss him so much. We last shot together just two weeks ago and when I was feeling low, I posted a pic just to remind myself that I am a strong woman with options. That is what he gave me and for that, I will be eternally grateful.
Here are a few of my favorite shots;
From our last shoot, on Santa Monica Beach
Dancing in the park....
From the famous shower series....
From the bridge shoot
and again...There are so so so many more, but for now..
