I've been photographing in downtown Lexington off and on for a while now, working on a series of images that fall under the working title of "Ghost Town." For the most part these have been B&W photographs depicting a type of vacant city. However, this image seems to defy my usual treatment. It carries its own sense of weight and emotional heaviness, even with rich colors. The potential vibrance of a young ballerina stands in contradiction to her meager storefront circumstances, separated from her golden crown and staring onto the lives of passersby.
