our friends in photography:

David Orr of Boston Moving Arts Productions

"Without an environment there can be no life and without life there can be no change. Embraced by the ever-changing environment, each of me is a transient moment to change and be changed by my environment." It is this belief that guides David Orr's work in photography, videography, and dance production and advocacy. Like life, dance is an ever ephemeral exchange of self and environment. David's lens captures those personal, exquisite moments where life and environment manifest in perfect human creativity.
