A Journey to one of the most dangerous places in the world, El Salvador

[michaelkying]

Hey Guys i'd like to share a trip I was privileged to be apart of. As you know El Salvador has the second highest murder rate in the world and home to the MS xiii and xviii gangs.
I got to join a group of dancers known as the "All the way live" foundation to promote and teach dance to kids at schools. We went to about 8 different schools and then threw a non-profit competition for competitor from all over central america. I myself am I dancer as well but also an avid photographer and this was the chance of a lifetime. There is only about 20 photos in the gallery as I have over 700 to edit =( but please take a look!

Cameras used - Rolleiflex TLR and Leica M6

As a dance photographer I particularly like your dance gallery. The one with the guy with the tie is an excellent capture and made me grin.

If you don't get many responses its probably because a lot of people don't like following links from people they don't know. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the replies! Just trying to get more traffic to the site. @granddad Thanks, I'm actually a professional dancer (13 years) so I would have more dance pictures but I spend most of my time dancing when i'm around dancers than taking pictures of them lol. I'll forcing myself to do more though.

I'm fortunate in that, although I'm passionate about dance, I'm personally dance phobic (so dance doesn't get in the way of my photography) but I have a wife who dances. I'm mostly restricted to her style (Middle Eastern dance) because that's where our contact base is but I have plans afoot to access some ballet and other genres.

You'll find some of my dance shots here: Dance Portfolio.

Probably your best bet here is to post a few images on site and use those to lure the viewers to follow a separate link to see more.
