Cornelia Kip Lee, top, and Stephen Clapp perform an improvisational interpretive duet as Felix Vallotton's 'The Lie' (1898) is projected on stage during 'Out of Bounds: Limitation as a Doorway to Invention' from Lee's Dancing with Limitations performance series at the N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh. Lee, whose left leg is underdeveloped because of polio, started dancing professionally more than 3 1/2 years ago. 'As a child, I thought of myself as a cripple,' Lee said. 'It wasn't until I accepted my limitations that I was able to transcend them."
Russell Henderson, 30, poses in his homemade stormtrooper costume with a cardboard cutout of Humphrey Bogart during a Raleighwood Cinema Grill's annual Academy Awards Gala. Henderson and members of the 501st Legion's Carolina Garrison, a 'Star Wars'-themed costuming group, were stationed in the lobby to greet guests as they arrived. 'I'm a big fan of the movie,' said Henderson, who was 4 when he first saw 'The Empire Strikes Back.' 'I decided one year to be a stormtrooper for Halloween and in doing some research came across these guys [the Carolina Garrison].' Henderson said he joined the group to take part in the many charitable events the garrison does for seriously ill children. By day he is an officer with the Burlington Police Department.
