It was an amazing photography year for me on the ballroom dance floor! I was able to go to exotic places (Philadelphia) to familiar venues to capture the most dynamic, and best images so far. The last event of the year was the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. For the last event, we got some great help from behind the camera, so we could actually step out on the floor ourselves. It was nerve-racking, and scary to get back out there, but we had a great time. Plus we had some great shots of us as a bonus! Thanks to everyone who helped us setup and photograph these events, and of course, thanks to everyone who has supported my little enterprise by purchasing pictures. I can’t wait to see everyone again in 2010!

January 20, 2009

Well, I’m finally exhausted from checking in on the Inauguration coverage all day today. It was an amazing sight from the lines at the Metro last night (looks like the stations were full by ~10PM!) to the early morning shots of the mall awash with people and flashbulbs. It was inspiring to watch the ceremonies, and the transfer of power, and the political hobnobbing in the capitol luncheon.

Although controversial through most of his presidency right from the beginning, Bush did have to work hard these last 8 years. I didn’t last 8 years in my first job out of school, and it seemed like a lifetime. Obviously, it was not as demanding a position! Nor was I under as much scrutiny as well.

I am hopeful that the new president will bring what our country is looking for. A peaceful transfer of power to a new leader is an especially American tradition since its founding. That continues to this day in a similar fashion. I am thankful that I was able to witness it even if I was not in the city… but 20 miles away… on my television.
