We made the trip to Walt Disney World twice as a family. My wife’s favorite Disney movie happened to be “ The Little Mermaid” and we watched the VHS tape many, many times as our son (Davin) grew up. I fully expected that there were performers from across the U.S., but the International talent was a tremendous addition and yet another log on the fire for my motivation.īefore we get into the show, I want to first touch upon what “ The Little Mermaid” means to me and my family. As I read through the program before the show, I was shocked to see artists performing from countries such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Japan, and China. The traveling troupe brought their performance of “ The Little Mermaid” to the MAC. The organization happens to be celebrating their 20th season, which is certainly something to be proud of. The Kentucky Ballet Theatre is a wonderful company with talented dancers from all over the globe. That became my motivation and I hope that my passion shines through the photos that accompany this article. No pressure, right? Yeah right! This could possibly be a once in a lifetime chance, you better believe that fact was not lost on me. I was the only authorized photographer outside of their organization that was allowed. Not only did the folks at the Mountain Arts Center put in a good word, they were able to secure an exclusive for Capture Kentucky. Once I got the approval, I knew that I needed to do my very best. After being denied photographing multiple traveling Broadway shows in Cincinnati, I didn’t expect to get this opportunity. I approached our good friends at the Mountain Arts Center about photographing a performance by the Kentucky Ballet Theatre. LolĪll of those seemingly surprised a few of our readers. I’m either incredibly lucky, or I’ve finally figured out how to do something right for once. In a little over a year, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph NASCAR, Minor League Baseball, Major League Baseball, a rodeo, a motorcycle club ride, a Star Wars museum exhibition, the final Carl Casper Auto Show, a fire station, a wedding, several large music festivals and one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, in P!nk. Turns out, opportunities have come to me that had not even made a blip on my radar. When I created Capture Kentucky, I had hoped to expand my skills and photograph anything and everything.
