  • Company Dancer Matthew Frain - “ I have been practicing photography for about 6 years. If I am not dancing or choreographing in the studio, chances are I’m probably out taking photos or editing my collections at home. While doing this I have seen Virginia in many different aspects. I have seen the streets filled with people either for cultural events, protests, or just regular business, you name it. It is quite surreal for me to see everything shut down, providing a new angle, a fresh perspective. While the feeling in these photos might be somber, they provide me with hope to pass along knowledge of a history that I have in my own possession.” #DWD #socialdistancing #gettoknowus #behindthecurtain #photography #rvaphotography #richmondphotography 📸by @mfrain1
