That’s one way to get a leg up on the competition.

I have worked with a lot of dancers, Igor, and what I can tell you is
that they bring an enormous individual repertoire and personal style
to the project. Ie, you are photographing *that* dancer and his or her
unique style, not just some generic dance poses from a generic dance
practitioner.

You hear Jordan saying things like, "do something pretty here", and
that's the best way to go because then you are getting the most
creativity from the talent. More than any other models I'd say if you
micro-manage dancers you're wasting everyone's time and abilities.

Cool, Igor!

Omar Z Robles is the guy to beat for dancers in the streets though.
His authenticity is unmatched and he's been doing this genre the
longest I think. Here's an article ...

https://bit.ly/32vjpR0

Jordan Matter is taking it a little further in being provocative. I
expect to hear from home in jail one of these days. :-)

Speed-photographing?

[Igor PDML-StR]

It looks like a renewed challenge for photographers: speed photographing 
in public places:

https://www.facebook.com/JordanMatterPhotography/videos/340158497339558/?story_fbid=10157199188877077=311293567076=aeMG32MC4UnnzD3l=null=e


That's a super-flexible (without going freakish) model who knows how to 
make (and keep) lines. (She looks like a ballet dancer and possibly a 
gymnast.)

The photographer who has a good eye for what would make a good shot.
He seems to be over-fixated on the splits in various orientations, but 
that seems to be a big element showing flexibility (short of deep 
contortions).


I just looked farther.
The guy has a bunch of similar videos in other settings on his FB page.
This one has more variations on the poses:
https://www.facebook.com/JordanMatterPhotography/videos/369888947514101/


And this has more varieties, I think, because the poses are offered by the 
gymnasts themselves: 
https://www.facebook.com/JordanMatterPhotography/videos/1248163762195025/



Cheers,

Igor

OT: Squirrels and oaks

[Larry Colen]

We don’t have a lot of oaks around here so I never noticed this behavior.

Q: If you watch squirrels close enough you may quickly realize that, when it 
comes to oaks, squirrels seem to have a knack for taxonomy. They quickly bury 
red oak acorns while immediately set to work on eating white oak acorns. Why is 
this?

Re: PESO Dark eyed Junco

[Larry Colen]

I made a silly little boo boo, a sent a link to the wrong photo in the set.  
Oops.

I didn’t plan on this effect, but I like the Saint Junco vibe of this one
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50340527912/in/album-72157715914971382/

I was amused to note that while I worked on Cormorant way today, I didn’t see 
any cormorants.  I saw gulls, pelicans even got some shots of snowy egrets and 
yellowlegs (don’t know whether they’re greater or lesser), but didn’t see any 
cormorants.
