Dance Photography at Stanford University
Welcome! This was my photo journal from 2008 to 2010, during my early years as a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Stanford University. I took down the site in 2012 and restored it in 2015.
I have a new blog (to come soon!) about the latest chapters of my adventures in New York City.
For my research in human-computer interaction, machine learning, natural language processing, and visual analytics, see my
research homepage.
Please feel free to
browse through all the posts » Or, check out some of my favorite photos below.
I learnt vintage dance from
Richard Powers and was a member of the
Academy of Danse Libre and
Decadance. I was a dance photographer for the
Stanford Dance Division,
Stanford News, and
Stanford Lively Arts. I photographed for five dance faculty members at Stanford University and San Francisco Ballet, and covered over twenty student performing arts groups. I enjoyed transcribing the Russian Mazurka Quadrille
in Feuillet notation and, of course, actually dancing the
Russian Mazurka Quadrille.
I twice proposed dance visualization as my PhD thesis topic, but couldn't secure the necessary department approvals. Alas, in the latter years of my
seven years of marriage to research, I became too busy to continue with dancing or photography.
