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!

A Cappella – The Sing Off – SingStrong

Reston, Virginia

This is the third season for the NBC Show ‘The Sing Off’ which airs on Monday nights. Being that I am a former member of Juxtaposition, a college a cappella group from Virginia Tech, I was automatically hooked on this show. (I spent a lot of my extra college money on CDs which has transitioned to a downloading habit!) When this show debuted, I was excited to have another vehicle to see new a cappella groups.

There were groups that I was very familiar with and some that I had never been exposed to performing. There was an audience for the show from the first season. Consequently, there were an uptick in the amount of internet traffic regarding this form of music. At this time, I was lucky to find out that an a cappella music festival was held locally called SingStrong. The organizers graciously gave me access to photograph the groups, workshops, and the concerts. All of the proceeds which were donated in support of Alzheimer’s research.

Performers

The featured performers were prominently featured in the The Sing Off including Nota in 2010 and Street Corner Symphony in 2011. This was an amazing opportunity for me to see what was new and upcoming in a cappella up close with the latest in techniques, technologies and musicians that are pushing creative limits and making amazing music. This season is the largest yet – more groups, more rounds of competition, and another episode is on tonight. Check it out, and if you are in the DC area, or love to watch live music, check out SingStrong for next year’s schedule.

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:
