Today I stumbled upon the most stunning dance photograph collection of Evgenia Obraztsova, Prima Ballerina with the Bolshoi Ballet.  It is a beautiful, beautiful thing when a skilled dancer and a skilled dance photographer come together.  I've included my favorites below, but you can view the entire collection via blog HERE . Happy New Year!
