We’ve been fairly quiet lately, lots going on, injury, illness, family, but getting it all sorted. I’m in Colorado at the moment, remembering the great session we did here for Dance Across the USA, the five-time award winning book! No other dance photography book has achieved such accolades, or covered such territory. We had over 3000 dancers apply to be in this project, and 163 were ultimately chosen. All 50 states, dancers from 5 to 61 years of age, and every one of them LOVES dance!

It is with much thankfulness that I can announce my book, Dance Across the USA has just won its FIFTH national literary award - a Gold Medal (1st place) from FAPA, the Florida Authors & Publishers Association! It is the only dance photography book in history to achieve such an honor, which is even more humbling. Thank you to all the dancers, the National Park Service, and most of all to my wonderful wife for making this project possible. Find you own copy at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or from us at www.danceatusa.com Have an amazing day, everyone!!! #dancephotography #dancephotographer #datusa #danceatusa #themightybuford #all50states #dance #dancer #dancemagazine #dancespiritmagazine #canon #nps #nps100 #bookawards #dreamscometrue (at EPS - Entertainment Photography Specialists) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0voq72haC3/?igshid=18t75vuuk1tt1

I’ve been in the hospital recovering from surgery and pneumonia, so I’ve been doing a lot of reading. In honor of #worldballetday I give you a throwback to a fun little session at @booksandbooks in Miami with the supremely talented Taylor! I hope you are out enjoying ballet however you can - by watching it, doing it, or reading about it! Have a great day everyone!!! #canon #all50states #datusa #danceatusa #nameyourcarday #themightybuford #nps100 #ballet #pointe #pointeshoes #cafe #dance #dancephotography #dancephotographer (at Books & Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boc6JEnBhuw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uueyukok2y1b

Today I reflect back on our session in Virginia At Shenandoah National Park. Dance Across the USA was such an amazing experience, seeing all the beautiful places and working with such incredible people! The dancer, Chelsea, is an avid hiker and climber, so the 200’ drop in front of her was no problem! You can find your own copy of this Award Winning Book (currently 3 National Literary Awards) online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or at our website at www.danceatusa.com Have a wonderful day everyone!!! #canon #datusa #danceatusa #nps #shenandoahnationalpark #dance #dancer #dancephotography #dancephotographer #sunset #leap #virginia #all50states (at Stony Man Mountain Overlook) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8mhXvhLOq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f09lptj2o6kg
