Random Excellence: David Saxe

David Saxe, from Dancin'

Santa Fe photographer (and TOP reader) David Saxe says: "Wherever I have been, I have always come across people dancing. In bars, in the street, or at home—people always dance. They dance to express joy, sadness and life itself. In this series of photographs, I explore these rhythms, and passions, of people expressing their joy, while they gently glide along a floor or a street, to the sounds of life."

The whole portfolio should be seen. It's on his website under "Dancin'." It will make you feel a little better!

Featured Comments from:

Pierre Charbonneau: "Charming portfolio, classic B&W and a beautiful collection of nice moments. Love it, feel better indeed."

Kenneth Tanaka: "David Saxe does, indeed, have some lovely thematic project work on his site. 'Dancin'' is very good but 'Bad Dreams' is my favorite work shown. (Probably because I did a slightly similar book project titled 'Of Dreams' some years ago.) Terrific, strong work Mr. Saxe."

Michel Hardy-Vallée: "David Saxe is also the brother of Henry Saxe, an important Canadian sculptor."

David's site is worth a visit. He's been making pictures for a long time. It pleases me that he's 77 and still working hard! I'd be happy to have a couple more decades of productive photography.

Indeed!

We need to plan a TOP get together in Santa Fe. David makes three that I know of. (I am in Albuquerque, but close enough)

Thanks for sharing. Dancing is super important, and photography doesn’t always do it justice.

Get Down!! Boogie Oogie Oogie !!!

Delightful collection of pictures, but a bit too heavy on the vignetting to suit my tastes.

Wonderful!
