Fine Print: Ann Towell enters the porch from the south side in the process of transplanting flowers into flowerbeds. Lambton County, Ontario, Canada, 1998 David Seymour In 1937 at the Exposition

In 1937 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris he took his first photos using a pocket Kodak given to him by his father for his 14th birthday

evoking a subtle tension between control and surrender

Three years after he made the decision to become a photographer

and beautifully captures the energy and pleasure of his light-footed subjects as they demonstrate their dance moves
