Legendary dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov has been a photographer for 30 years. His photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world. Baryshnikov's photographs of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company are currently on exhibit at Weinstein Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The exhibition, titled "Merce My Way", is made up of colorful, blurred images of the dancers. According to an article at the Minnesota Public Radio website, "Baryshnikov got up on stage with the dancers during their final dress rehearsal, and darted around them as they performed, often just inches away."

The exhibition opened June 20, 2008 and runs through August 2, 2008.
