Gracie at Woodlawn Lake

 

I shot this sequence to be part of a video backdrop to a dance performance. The theme, as I recall, was the innocence of youth. And when I learned that the music would be this Philip Glass track, I thought something bittersweet and in slow motion. So I conscripted my young friend, Gracie. We toured some of the areas around Woodlawn Lake. I love the lens flares and the high contrasted from the setting sun. Sadly, the choreographer decided against using this piece. Too bad. But I love it. An almost perfect depiction of heartbreak and nostalgia.
