My new buddy OzO, a painter, DJ, producer and all around artist, invited me to check out her set at Haru in Old City all of 3 days after I first met her. She told me that there was going to be a troupe of African belly dancers there. How could I resist? Pictured above is one of them striking a pose in the middle of a routine. Check out her henna'd palms.

I shot many hundreds of images (700-800 or so) in a little over two hours. The crowd wasn't as large as OzO had hoped, but we made the most of it and it was like a private photo shoot with a drinking audience! Check out a set of 27 shots from the night here.
