Happy 2012!

It’s a new year, and I am working on a lot of projects. Some are exciting, and some especially useful for those that go to the website for viewing and purchasing photos. Speaking of which, THANK YOU! To all of you that have visited the website, looked through your photos, and supported us by purchasing prints, posters, and books – I’m so glad that you found photos that you wanted to keep for yourself! We continue to look for more ballroom dance, portraits, weddings, and other events. If it fits our schedule, I would be interested to photograph this year. With this in mind we have some lined up already. (If you need any help with photography for you, your family, or your business, please let me know.)

I am working on changes to the website that hopefully will bring some new features that you have requested. It will be a work in progress, so let me know if you run into any problems. I hope that it will still be as accessible and easy to use as the old system, and I will test it thoroughly. If you have any other suggestions as to products that we could offer, or other changes that we may be able to incorporate into the site, please let me know.

My email is: rassi (at) timelinedc.com and my phone number is 703-864-8208. Thanks again for viewing our blog, website, and Facebook page [ http://www.facebook.com/timelinemedia ], and we hope to help you with GREAT photos in 2012!

DC Area Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

We are all packed up and ready to shoot the 2011 Fall Freestyles! On this occasion the venue is the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. It will be another great event organized by the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios. Although it has not started, we have a good idea on what to expect. Surely there will be enthusiastic students and instructors cheering on their friends.

Dancers will show off their hard work from the studio on the big floor. It is always a good time, and the dancers love to view their photos as we go through them. Obviously we can’t wait to get some great photos of the professional shows that cap the event on Saturday night. In general, I save portfolio images from these pro shows as they are the capstone for a weekend of dancing.

I hope to see you there! As soon as we finish photographing, I start the post processing which takes a few days. Photos from the event will be posted here by next week:

River City Ballroom Dance competition

Earlier this year, I photographed the River City Ballroom Dance competition in Richmond, VA for the second time. It is organized by Veronica and Lee at Simply Ballroom. On this occasion, it was held again at the Greater Richmond Convention Center conveniently located downtown. From there you have easy access to hotels, and restaurants. Moreover, there is plenty of room on the dance floor! The number of dancers doubled this year. With this in mind, there was plenty of opportunity for practice and comments from judges and other participants.

Prior to the start of the competition, we had a chance to catch up with familiiar friends. While some are from our home base in northern Virginia, some are local to Richmond. Especially the dancers from the host studio of Simply Ballroom. Veronica and Lee involve many of their students in the event. They are amazing hosts, and we look forward to our next trip south!
