Ballerina Project — Nine years ago, young photographer
Dane Shitagi walked up New York City’s Broadway towards the highly patronized and well known
STEPS dance studios in search of a ballet dancer who could help him begin his project: to capture images of ballerinas in urban environments. Those images first started appearing on Blogspot, but have since migrated to
Facebook. [

In Mamas Kitchen was born in the experience of living in New York where a
bodega exists within blocks of a
Jewish deli which is around the corner from an
Italian salumeria which shares space with
Chinatown which abuts
Soho's gourmet stores. While this speaks of the legendary variety available in New York, it also tells of similarity, for in every bodega, every salumeria is someone shopping for the food that sustains physical life with a
recipe that nourishes our hearts.
