I photographed Autumn Ward while dancing at Lafayette. Her performance was terrific. However, i had a difficult time taking good photos of her because, the environment was dark and cluttered, with all the musicians and their equipment in my way. But,I still managed to take this decent photo, while she was spinning to the wonderful Arabic music..
Okay, so everyone listen up, After photographing Layla Mary's show at Lafayette Grill and Bar, Sal Romano and I went to see Gamila's el Masri's Show " Night of the Hareem "at Tangine. Sal Said," My gorgeous Magda, this show was the best Mideastern production I have ever seen. and I agreed with him because, Night of the Hareem is not just any ordinary belly dance show. You are embarked to an era where your spirit and senses are stimulated. Captivated by the sensuality of the dance. Seduced by the exotic rhythm of the music. The dancers were exquisite, with their beautiful faces thier elegant custumes and the exciting way they make you feel. You definitely take it with you and go wishing for more. Photo by Sal Romano.
