In this series Orio I found out that you choosed the right subject in your compositions We have the same tastes... about lenses of course!

I take the subjects that happen to be there. If it was old ladies to dance, I would have photographed them too. Only difference is that probably I would have taken a few dozens photos instead of a few hundreds

I hope you're not expecting comments on the excellent technical side - some of us are easily distracted by the subject matter

After having worked for many hours on the series, I got past that stage and I was reflecting about the diversity of the bodies (I would say the female bodies, but probably it's a concept that goes beyond that), and how each type of body is able to express it's own way to harmony. There are very slim (almost anoressic) bodies, there are very "generous" bodies (food reserve ), there are muscular bodies (like the ones of the trainers). And each one, has it's own peculiar grace and gives it's own meaning to the dance.

This has really impressed me. But probably because I worked so many hours on this image that the "first sight magic" was long gone.
