On the website are some events that are expiring soon. The Salsa-Bachata Throwdown held on April 14, 2013 in Rockville, MD will be removed on Monday, August 19, 2013. The Marsha Bonet Dance Showcase held on April 20, 2013 in Alexandria, VA will be removed on Monday, August 26, 2013. The dancers in these events really put a lot of creativity into their performances. The setup for these is also a departures from my normal coverage from the side of a ballroom dance floor. The Throwdown was held in a large dance studio with the audience very close to the dancers. The energy from having them so close seemed to amp up the performers. I was happy with how the images conveyed the enthusiasm of the evening from both sides.

Every year, I enjoy making images for Marsha Bonet’s students. Their annual dance showcase grows in skill and variety. From Flamenco, to Ballroom, to ethnic and cultural dances makes for an entertaining and education evening. This year, I was struck with the colors in the costumes. They were another indication of the thought that was put into this show. Adding a live band to the stage really made this an evening to save space for next year!

Arthur Murray – Professional Formation

Copyright TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Professional Formation

Busy Sunday today! Someone on the email list informed me that I forgot to post photos from the professional formation from the last Arthur Murray DC event. So sorry! Of course, I did not mean to leave them off my blogging list. It was on there, however just waiting its turn. And here they are! These are my favorite photos from the Salsa professional dance formation. It was performed by the Gaithersburg and Silver Spring studios. The team performed the dance so smoothly – transitioning between partners, forming lines, circles, all while

Overall it is a lot to take in when photographing formation groups. Especially with the staff performing at a professional level, there is a lot to attempt to capture. Of course they have the dance figures, but they have the added element of their body position to other couples. With this in mind, I don’t think I have a good strategy for photographing this aspect. I do love having the chance to try!

TimeLine Media Proofing Site Upgrades

Whew! The upgrades to the TimeLine Media proofing site are now completed. Additionally, the changes were implemented without any hitches so far. I would like to ask a favor of those of you that have visited the site before. Could you please come back and visit the website to see if you run into any bugs? If there are any issues, I would like to see if they can be fixed before the next big event. Of course it is completely free to view, and share the photos online as always. However, if you find a photo you want as a print or digital download, you can enter the coupon code:

This will take $5 off any order placed until next Monday. I have tested the site myself, and it works for me, but experiences can be different when many people try. It is not much different in appearance from the previous version, but here is what the new site looks like!

Website Launch

As far as new features, there is a mobile site that is better for mobile phones to access photos. This version of the site will allow the images to be loaded faster than with the full site. In this site, you can view all the photos on the website, and mark some of your favorites as you see them. You cannot, though, purchase any products in the mobile version of the site. In order to place orders, you need to switch to the Full Site version which you can do from the Home page. Here is a screen shot of where you can switch between the 2 versions if needed:

Switch between Mobile and Full sites for buying photos

Once you click on the “View full site” you will switch to the version of the site where purchases can be made from your smart phone. The full site is the default version of the site that will be shown when you are on a PC, iMac or an iPad which have larger screens. Please note that if you do may purchases on iPads or other mobile devices, you need to immediately save your photos locally to your device. The website only allows one download of your photo per purchase by default. I can reset that for you, but it would be easier to just save your download as soon as you see it.
