TANG DYNASTY DANCERS



Sometimes what you wish for comes true: in an earlier blog entry I not only hoped to photograph the dancers for the third time, but go backstage and give out my previous photos to the cast. Photographs by audience members is still permitted (it no longer is by the Shanghai Acrobats). And I was able to meet and give out my previous photos to dancers. Some had retired or moved on after seven years, but many had not. I was then allowed to sit right in front to again get some amazing shots, and the Manager talking about using my photographs in their advertising.
