Without the arts, kids may not have all of the tools they need to test their creativity and see all of the possibilities there are in the world. An arts…

next door. For me, it was a dream come true and luckily the studio was just a small walk away. Jazz, ballet, and tap were part of my curriculum, but back then not all of the vocabulary stuck with me.

Charles Baudelaire called on artists to depict modern life rather than the religious or ethereal. He stressed the importance of depicting the hubbub of the city streets, shops and cafes, changing fashions, the animated and leisurely suburbs would provide the inspiration contemporary artists needed. Being a friend of Baudelaire, Manet heeded his call. He produced Music in the Tuileries Gardens (a military band concert), portraying portraits of Baudelaire and Manet himself. The figures span the…

When trying to capture this, any slight and quick movement could blur the photo and make the camera out the focus. Another challenge I had was trying to avoid getting my own reflection in the photo.
