TimeLine Media Blog

I hear it is the biggest shopping day of the year! For Black Friday, all the photos from 2013 that TimeLine Media has covered have been re-released. All expired events are now back on the proofing website through the holidays. If they have been re-uploaded, they will be viewable until January 13, 2014!

We have made so many great images this year. It is a blessing, and a privilege to have access to capture these images of dancers both amateur and professional throughout the year. As a dancer, you are always learning and improving. Steps become more natural, patterns more easily done with your partner, your lines get straighter, you travel farther with each stride, you take up more of the floor with your routine.

The photographs document your progress. You can see how you used to dance, and see how far you have come. They freeze moments from the routine you worked on for months, to recall before the next time you perform.

They help you to celebrate your accomplishments, and point you in the direction you want to go next time. Maybe it is for a higher placing in the competition, maybe it is trying a new dance you have not tried, or maybe it is just refining what you already know.

These are the same things that I think about when setting out to photograph the next subject. I try to be at least as good as the last time, but I try to push and be better. Photography, like dancing, is a skill that you can always learn and improve. The journey can be frustrating, and you may not reach your goals every time you attempt, but there are lessons each time you get out there. And the results you come back with may surprise you. Thank you to all the dancers, studios, and friends that have been on the other side of our lenses!
