“Capturing Pippin”
Blog #201 4/11/17
Acrobats in the cast of Pippin: Viktoria Grimmy, Yannick Thomas, Lolita Costet, Orion Griffiths
For the revival of the great Broadway musical, ”Pippin,” by producers Barry & Fran Weissler, we were commissioned to make advertising photographs and the poster for the marquee.
My good luck was that in this revival, acrobats would perform throughout the play. Working with these marvelous talents proved to be one of the richest experiences I’ve ever had. Even more than the dancers I’ve so often photographed, the acrobats could do things with their almost superhuman bodies that are nothing short of astonishing. Besides being brilliantly trained, they are utterly fearless. There was nothing I asked for that they wouldn’t or couldn’t do, with joyful abandon.
I directed, “Throw her to the ceiling and at the same time spin her around.” Performers Lolita Costet and Yannick Thomas
A director’s delight: For this photograph of Viktoria Grimmy, I said “At the top of your leap, bend backwards and laugh at the camera.”
There was no direction I gave that was greeted by the slightest hesitation.
Orion Griffiths “stood” on his hands, legs in the air: I said, “Let your legs down very slowly; do not let them drop!“
To say “Thank you” after the joyous day of working with the four awesome acrobats, I made portraits of each.

The set-up for this image.
My main idea – and challenge – was to make an image where the star of the show appeared to be bursting out of the photograph.
“Pippin” played by Matthew James Thomas
The “star” of this high energy picture was a great young fellow completely at home on the trampoline I used to help him soar into the air. He could do anything; the bigger challenge for me was the “exploding” factor: Here’s how we did it.
We built a contained space to throw “bursts” of powder so not one molecule of it would get onto any piece of very expensive cameras, strobe packs, lenses, and other studio equipment.
With the “powder throwers” inside the enclosure, wearing hazmat gear, I’m set to make photographs. And, Beverly is at the ready to help solve problems.
With each burst of powder, I make another picture.
We did NOT use talc which is a dangerous substance. It is inert and if inhaled can cause a variety of problems, in addition to remaining in the lungs indefinitely. Talcum powder should never be used by human beings in my opinion. We used corn starch which is bio-degradable.
With each image recorded on the screen, my assistant Bart Babinski watches for details.
From inside of the enclosure, the camera looks in through a special protective port.
Outside, I’m poised to catch each “explosion.”
Protection from inhaling the fine powder.
Vroom! Pop!
Of the hundreds of bursts we recorded, no two were exactly alike, giving me hard choices from an embarrassment of visual riches.

Just finished a Porter box (I think my 7th? How time flies) and wanted to post the photos here!
This was a custom so not sure I’ll post the write up, but enjoy some of the contents! (Some of them do have to remain a secret, otherwise that’s no fun haha)
Marcel Dzama’s “No Less Than Everything Comes Together” (2021) at the Bedford Av (L) Station in Brooklyn, was officially unveiled during an #MTA press event this morning. Brooklyn-based artist Marcel Dzama captures in 4 mosaic panels the hopeful beauty of the sun and the moon’s illuminated mysteries. Depicted in radiant gold and dazzling blue, the 400 sq ft of glass mosaic, fabricated by Mayer of Munich, is now permanently installed on the mezzanine and in the new stairways at the Driggs Ave end of the station.
Dzama states, “In these works it is my intention to bring the sun, the sky, and the moon to the underground. What I love most about New York is its people, and for me it was important to represent them and all of their wonderful complexities and diverse beauty in the piece. People looking and quietly observing together. In the subway, it’s always a togetherness that bonds us uniquely like no other place in the world.”
The artwork draws upon the artist’s early experiences coming to New York and living in Williamsburg, with scenes of graceful dancers, whimsical characters, and a glowing sun and moon. Employing different illustration styles, the work presents a timeless tableau celebrating New York’s history and its people. In each theatric composition, an arabesque patterned curtain featuring fairytale figures provides an enchanting proscenium stage setting for these tableaux. The scenes are populated by elegant ballet performers that appear throughout his oeuvre of drawings and paintings. Mischievous characters pop up throughout and represent infamous Brooklynites from history such as Bugsy Siegel and Captain Jonathan Williams, founder of Williamsburg.
