When I started competing in ballroom dancing in the fall of 2000, little did I know that I was being immersed in a world of sequins, rhinestones, and glitter. As an avid photographer, I started documenting my fellow competitors strutting their stuff on stage. When Dancing with the Stars was being launched here in the US in 2005, my photographs of Cheryl Burke, Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya became highly sought after, and I found myself published in a major national magazine.
