Photographer Bob Richards joins talented dance instructor Nancy Jane Bare in a high flying leap to demonstate how strobe lights could be used to freeze action without blurs. The couple resemble marionettes as they dance across the stage at Annie Wright Seminary in May of 1949. Using strobe lights, the Richards Studio cameras could freeze action at 1/10,000th second.

At the time of this May, 1949, photograph, she had been a faculty member of Annie Wright for five years.
