Above, ballerina Joy Womack photographed by Kokyat at a studio rehearsal of a solo by choreographer Avi Scher in August 2010. Kokyat photographed the session with his Leica, and he is now the subject of an interview on the Leica Camera Blog.
For the past two years I have had the good fortune of having Kokyat’s images on my blog. In addition, he has been a great companion for me in exploring The City and in going places I’d never have gone on my own (like under the Brooklyn Bridge at midnight).
Here is Kokyat’s photo-commentary on Hurricane Irene.
