MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANI CRUM - Opening Reception September 13, from 3 to 5 pm. RSVP HERE

Artist Statement: A few years ago, a friend asked me to join her photography class, and the result changed my life.  I discovered how photography allows us to capture not just a moment, but the feelings within it.  I'm passionate about finding the beauty, emotion, and wonder around us and preserving it with photographs.

Recently, a friend invited me to a music event, and I took a few shots of his band.  I loved it!  To me, musicians put a piece of their soul into their performance;  I want my photos to reflect back to them how beautiful and talented they are.  

When I heard about World Make Music Day at COLLAGE, I really wanted to photograph it.  When I got to COLLAGE, the event was even larger that I had realized — so many different artists in multiple venues with a variety of instruments.  I am grateful for this opportunity, and hope I've been able to capture, for you, a few moments from this incredible event.
