Ever since she was little Morgen has wanted to be a doctor. She used to wrap her Barbie dolls in “bandages” made of toilet paper. When she was in second grade she memorized the names of all the bones in the human skeleton and always wanted to watch medical movies/TV shows. Now she’s enrolled in medical school at UCSD as an MD/PhD in medical anthropology. There are 125 students in her class.
Congratulations, Morgen! Dad and I are very proud of you. Good luck to you and all your friends in med school!

This was a difficult photo shoot because of the light. It was windy and more and more clouds rolled in, sometimes covering the sun and eventually covering most of the sky. This meant constantly stopping to change exposure settings and the light changing on us during a sequence of shots. This also meant shadows were casting on the dancer. Studio lighting is easier to control but it’s worth the effort outdoors to capture the dancer with a gorgeous background.
Roman is the great-grandson of Dr. Samuel Pozzi, the subject of John Singer Sargent’s painting “Dr. Pozzi at Home.” Dr. Pozzi’s daughter, Catherine Pozzi, is Roman’s grandmother.

More on this fascinating family
Born in Bergerac, France in 1846, Dr. Samuel-Jean Pozzi is:
“often described as the ‘father’ of French gynecology, he was one of those responsible in the latter part of the nineteenth century for making surgery safe and effective. As a young intern he participated in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. His experiences with treating war wounds led him to visit Joseph Lister in Scotland in 1876 to study the principles of antisepsis and anesthesia. Pozzi wrote one of the first comprehensive textbooks of surgery on women, in the newly christened field of gynecology. The French published the textbook in 1890 and American publishers printed the first English-language version in 1892.

The expressive power of the human body in both pose and movement is infinite. My goal in photographing dance performance is to capture those transformative moments when choreography, music, and the dancer come together to elevate our sensory, emotional, and intellectual experience as well as our humanity. The following images are from my exhibit of dance photography at the Indian Hill Music Center in Littleton, Massachusetts.
Thank you to everyone who came to the opening. Thank you to Erica Mash for taking photos at the opening.

Abraham in Motion
The Boston Globe named the company’s performance of Pavement at Jacob’s Pillow in August, 2013 one of the year’s best dance performances. Later in 2013 founder Kyle Abraham received a MacArthur Foundation genius grant. Pavement tells the stories of urban Pittsburgh using vivid dance imagery and a very cool soundtrack ranging from Vivaldi to the blues to electronica.
