For lovers of So You Think You Can Dance I took these photographs during the broadcast just over a week ago of the exquisite Jacque Le Warne dancing a pas de deux with allstar Chehon Wespi-Tschopp. They were choreographed by the brilliant Travis Wall and were dancing to the Adagio for TRON by Daft Punk. If you saw this magical performance, which was made even more magical by their silhouettes, I’m sure you will agree that it was sublime in every way; true Poetry in Motion….

Are you willing to sell for one shilling…

Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”

from The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear

No doubt the owl would have easily distinguished by its texture the shilling in one of his pockets from the half crown in the other.

The Wave

Although I took this photo over forty years ago the memory of the moment is as fresh as if it were yesterday.  As to the title, a number of ideas came to mind, Heat Wave, Wavelength, Wave to the camera, but none was quite what I wanted. I chose Arpeggio to suggest all the different sounds coming from the wave crashing against the walkway in rapid succession.
