Goodbye to 2012 as another new year starts, and photography continues! Yes, it is the time for making resolutions, and trying desperately to keep them, so here I go. I will try to blog more often, and give you some idea as to what I am up to in photography these days. TimeLine Media did lots of events last year especially covering ballroom dancing. Additionally, I photography weddings, events, and head shots for clients.

In 2012, I have upgraded a lot of the tools I use for producing images, and I have also tweaked how I capture create photos. At this time, I hope to tell you more about them here on the blog. If you have any projects in 2013 where you think that I my photography could help, please contact me here: rassi at timelinedc.com, or call me- 703-864-8208 and I’ll be happy to talk with you about your ideas. Finally, I wish you the best in 2013,! I hope you’ll come back as I continue to post updates as they come up. I can post many times during the weeks this year. Keep me honest to keep blogging this year!

Washington Monument Birthday!

The Washington Monument was dedicated on February 21, 1885. I guess that makes it the 127th birthday of the unmistakable landmark that greets visitors to the capitol city. The height restrictions on buildings in the city make it the most visible and identifiable marker, and it makes for a great backdrop for photos from the White House to the cherry blossoms, or even from across the river in Virginia. I’ll have to refresh my collection of images that include the monument next time I have the chance.

This image was one from a walk around the National Mall on a beautiful spring afternoon. With the clear blue skies, and strong sunlight, strong shadows were on the sides opposite from the sun. Adding a darkened vignette on the edges helps to emphasize the monument.

Although the structure looks basic, it can change its looks drastically throughout the day. On this occasion the up lighting below nicely highlights the edges in the setting sun. Since it is such a recognizable monument in the city, it gives you plenty of opportunities to set its location from you entire collection.

TimeLine Media Photo proofing

I am excited to announce that we have launched a new photo proofing site! It is still at the same place as the previous one-

http://proofs.timelinedc.com

There are some new features that were requested including the option for higher resolution instant downloads! The prices have remained the same for 2012, only the design has changed. Please take a look at the site and snoop around. If you see a photo from last year that you would still like to get, you can use the coupon code 2012new for $5 off your order until February 20th, 2012. If you have any feedback for me on the new site, please let me know in the comments. Thank you!

Also, if you have any trouble navigating around, I would be happy to help. I know change can be difficult, but I want to cut through any frustration. Although I have worked with these sites for a while, I know it takes an adjustment to get through all the details. Additionally, if you let me know, I can pass along your questions to others here on the blog. When we get through this adjustment, I look forward to putting new images out there!
