Pro-Am Competition

Since we were at a new venue, we setup extra early this morning. Jennifer Bonini is very experience running this event, so she was very helpful getting our booth location. In the same fashion as other events, I photographed along the long side of the ballroom. Overall, I enjoyed the photos! On this occasion we saw many familiar faces. Because this is such a friendly competition for dancers, many come back year after year!

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The photos from last weekend’s 2017 Pennsylvania Ballroom Scrimmage are now ready to view at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Although this was not the first photo assignment in Lancaster, it was our first ballroom dance event. Since it was not too far from the metro DC area, we saw a lot of familiar faces from studios close to home. Similarly to other events, we have edited and sorted the photos by gentlemen’s number. Here is the link:

Ballroom Scrimmage

We met organizer, Barbra Snyder, at competitions in the DC Area. When she gave us the opportunity to photograph her event, we jumped at the chance. The Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square is a grand venue for events. Given that this was a large room, we used all the lighting we brought with us! Being connected to the convention center was a bonus. In spite of the sprawling hotel, we were able to setup quickly from the garage. I know all the participants had a great weekend of dancing!

Tysons Corner Center

Last month, I photographed the NAMI 2017 Annual Walk held on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. On this occasion, they held the 9th edition of this annual event for NAMI – the National Alliance on Mental Illness. While this was not the first race I have photographed at this venue, there were many participants on this walk!

Prior to the start of the race, the organizers made some comments about the goals of the walk and the donations that were raised. Hearing the stories from some of the participants was encouraging as they described their experiences with mental illness. In brief, some were family members that made use of the resources of NAMI. The provide education and vital support to those that work with adults that have a mental health condition.

From a photography perspective, the branding of the mall from the Plaza is prominent and easy to incorporate into the images. Additionally the clear Saturday morning gave a feel of energy and positivity which matched the goals of the walk. Also the large crowd right at the start of the walk illustrated the support and community built around NAMI and its event.
