Bob Carey is no ballerino. Nor is he particularly athletic.
He's burly, balding, and has budding man-boobs.
But what the 51 year old New York-based photographer does have is
spirit, tremendous love for his wife Linda ... and a pink tutu.
He's combined all this - plus his talent for taking quirky
self-portraits - and taken it on the road, posing in nothing but his
tutu all over the US and even outside of it.
The result is a collection of arresting, sometimes amusing, sometimes
melancholy but surreally beautiful landscapes, featuring his
almost-naked self in pink tulle.
