I loooove the pix Mike took of me performing at Rakkasah in March -- not a bad one in the bunch! He's great with action shots. Can't even imagine what a photoshoot would be like.

Yes yes, I'll post some. I'm still going through them all -- he took hundreds! Plus, I am on the west coast for, uh... work... (blah!) so I guess I should do some of that as well.

Ok, where is Michael Baxter located? Is he in the bay area? I am there enough visiting the in-laws that it's about time I set up a session with him!!

Seriously, is that where he is? What's his email????..g.:

He does do shoots there. My first ever shoot with him was on location in hollywood. If you email him and let him know you're in LA he can probably just keep you in mind for the next shoot when he's down there.

[aazura]

Daniela, if you PM me, I'll send you his email (my pm doesn't work on Safari). He is indeed in the Bay Area. You can also send him a message on his tribe: http://tribes.tribe.net/michaelbaxter

Aazura, Shaunte, & Latifa,

Many thanks for your lovely and kind words. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of our wonderful collaborations to make beautiful art. I would really like to mention that all of the belly dance Teachers I've met have made a tremendous impact on me, helping me to learn as much as possible about The Dance. This knowledge has been priceless.

Daniela, my email address is: mab@cruzio.com

I'm in the Bay Area, though I do frequent LA somewhat modestly often as well.

If you would like to see my work, a bit of it is collected here on Tribe:

Wish all of my belly dancer friends well, and thank-you for all you do for The Dance.

Blessings and Light,
Michael

Aazura,

Thanks so much for linking my belly dance photo collection on Tribe. I'm not used to the new bhuz.com interface, and somehow completely missed your additional posts, so sorry to be redundant.

Wish you well.

Blessings and Light,
Michael

OMG. I love that costume and that photo, Bahaia! Rowr!

[bahaia]

I know, sometimes I scare myself! I'm really a total goofball. But put me in front of a camera and I can't help but vamp!

[bahaia]

The costume is from Gitane in Dallas/Ft. Worth. She's on tribe - look for Gitane's Treasures in my tribes Welcome - tribe.net

Go check her out! Her work is so unique and she deserves some recognition outside of Texas. I have another one in the works with flames and hearts (no skulls) that is hot, hot, hot!

OMG. I love that costume and that photo, Bahaia! Rowr!

[bintbeled]

I just wanted to run over here after learning about some other photographer's copyright policies, and I wanted to sing Michael's praises not only for his "copy left" policy, but because he always makes me feel SO gorgeous and I always get compliments on the pictures he takes for me! He's a genius when it comes to lighting and flattering shots.
:-D

[Shaunte]

Here Here!!! If it weren't for Michael, I wouldn't be as comfortable as I am today in front of the camera. Michael you don't know what you did for my confidence! Always look forward to shoots with Michael. Love Ya!!!!!

[Elviza Isis]

Bahaia, what are you doing with MY costume!! ;o) Gorgeous...

[aazura]

Here's one from one of my recent shoots with Michael. He's awesome!!

[Samira_dncr]

Yum yum yum!!! Such amazing pictures. Breathtaking.

[tamrahennatx]

Bahaia, your album picture deserves to BE an album cover.

Since I haven't yet posted in this thread, here's my contribution.

[tamrahennatx]

I got so many good ones, it's almost a shame because I'll never be able to use them all. :)
