There’s an amazing lady who altered the course of discovery of a young photographer. The gem of a community. She was into ballet, not because of her dreams, but because it was just the way it was.

When the photographer met her for the first time, it was revolutionary. Something clicked. Something changed. There was an aura about this woman. She had a very fierce alpha side. One that easily burned and sizzled all weak men who dared cross her path.

Her tolerance for B.S. was extremely low. How the photographer managed to escape the scorn and heat is a miracle in and of itself. However, the friendship quickly grew. The personal growth took off fast and furious.

Every encounter with this alpha confident woman caused a lot of layers of B.S protection to slough off and burn to ashes. The real man behind the camera was being called front and center.

Through the years of friendship, much has changed and much has stayed the same. The lady by the name Ballerina would be an influential voice and model for several sites that the photographer was involved with. Privacy being of paramount importance, not much else can be said.

As she makes her appearance on this blog, her story will be shared discretely. The lessons shaped so much of the foundation on which this blog lives. Much like other mentioned amazing people, she was the muse that lit the fuse to help the photographer understand his role around a powerful alpha woman.

Do not go telling Ballerina that the photographer is aware of her sub side. That would only trigger the wrath of her alpha side. That level of fury would not be good for any bi-stander who has to take the brunt of the deflected fire coming off his shield and armor.

When the time is right, the special story that involves Ballerina will be told, until then, the photographic essays will shed a little light on the wonderful friendship that exist between a lady and her photographer.
