Oh my goodness, I love this picture! It's two of my loves all rolled into one amusing, charming, and beautiful photograph. The ballerina is Pacific Northwest Ballet's Kari Brunson, and the photographer is Mike Urban. (Read an interview with him about this picture here.) Even better, she writes a food blog called Anticiplate, which I find an adorable pun on both dancing and cooking. Plus I'm a sucker for a Seattle-based food blog. Everything is the right season and made for the right weather! Perfect.
UPDATE: I decided to follow Kari on twitter (@anticiplate) because I love her quirky, down-to-earth style and her mix between planning recipes and just throwing things together until they come out right. That's a lot how I cook. Then, surprise surprise, she decided to follow me back! So now she will ostensibly be reading about my food adventures as I post them 140 characters at a time, and may perhaps even stop at the blog. This makes me really ridiculously excited. (Hi Kari, if you're here!)
When did you find this? It has been out for about a year:) It was such a fun experience. Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteJust found it in the PI's best photos of 2008. I've only lived in Seattle for about six months, so I wasn't around back when it was originally printed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to have found you and your blog! I love PNB, and although I don't think I can make it to the Broadway festival this weekend, I'll be sure to look for you in Swan Lake.
