Dancers in NY

お久しぶり。


Via Ballerina Project


Via Swiss Miss originally from Dancers Among Us

The first one looks and feels languid and relaxed, time goes leisurely in this seemingly empty station. The second one looks vivid and full of life (and color); I am half-scared for the dancer. The subject matter and backdrop share many traits, but the mood each evokes is decidedly different. It's fun to think about how the photograph was taken, now I want you to lie down on the platform and extend your arm out over the edge, arch your legs upward now...and just wait for the train to approach; I'll tell you when.
Okay, sure. Easy peasy. Right.
