Breathtaking, Feb 5 2009
By J. Ables "DCJenny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ailey Ascending: Portrait in Motion (Hardcover)
I recently bought this book at an Ailey performance (and got it signed by Judith Jamison!!) and paid A LOT more for it - so get it on Amazon and save some $$$!The photos are stunning...I can't imagine any artist who wouldn't appreciate this. If you're an Ailey fan, it's a must own. If you love photography, this is so inspiring. Just get it. Now. Go!
