This is a picture of a very small fraction of the millions of dead pointe shoes that I own. "Dead pointe shoes" means that you can not dance in the pointe shoes anymore because they will not support your feet any longer. Dancers go through pointe shoes quite quickly!

    This is a beautiful portrait! I am a painter, myself, but i loved the way the shoes are captured in this photograph. This isnt really my style but It is so much detail in the way the shoes flow. We should collaborate, i can paint one of your photo.

    Jamini, I think you may have made a mistake, I am a dancer! But we should collaborate, it would be cool if you could paint a portrait of me :)
