Dare to Be Different Be daring, be different,
be impractical,
be anything that will assert
integrity of purpose and imaginative vision
against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of the commonplace,
the slaves of the ordinary.

British fashion and portrait photographer
and  Academy Award-winning stage
and costume designer for films and theatre

Johnny at work.
Fashion on Ice skater warm-up,
September 2011.
(Note: In photo #15 below, the white flecks on his shirt
are from a fall he took on the ice.)

at 9 am EDT/PDT, 8 am CDT!! Labels: "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different"--Coco Chanel, David Ingogly, Ice Theatre of New York, Johnny Weir 
As lovely as he looks when he's all dolled up, I think candid shots like these are often when Johnny seems most beautiful. These are wonderful, thank you and your super talented son for sharing FOI so generously.

I really really wish I could be at the ITNY show, maybe one day I'll win the lottery and see Johnny skate live. Hope you and everyone else lucky enough to be there has the best time ever - I'm sure you will. And then pretty please share photos and videos?

I love black and white pics and I agree with Vicky about candid shots and all.

These pics and its subject are beautiful.

Thanks for sharing all the beauty.

A lily is beautiful, whether gilded or as is. Thank you for capturing these moments forever, with all the attendant blood, toil, tears and sweat involved thereby.
