In honor of Blizzard 2010!

Stay safe and warm, people! And enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday!

About the Photographer: Brian Mengini has been involved with the dance world for over 8 years, first as company management and now as a photographer. He is based in Philadelphia, PA and has shot the Royal Ballet of London, Pennsylvania Ballet, Ballet X and many others. His recent project Spirit of the Fallen, pays tribute to the fallen officers of the Philadelphia Police Department. The  photo exhibition, which depicts dancers from the Philly area wearing angel wings, also raises funds for the FOP Survivor’s Fund. You can find out more about Brian at his Facebook fan page.

From Brian’s website: “For over ten years now, I have been capturing Philadelphia’s creative pulse and am blessed to be able to blend two of my passions, photography and dance, into one wonderfully fulfilling journey. I credit my time spent as manager of Rennie Harris PureMovement, in the mid 1990′s, with not only my passion for movement but my eye for its emotion!”
