Hogettes

Have a great weekend, everyone! Some sad news in the DC Area. Yes, no more football in Washington until next year, and no more Hogettes either! Some photos below are from a fund raising event at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria in 2012. Guess it’s time to do something new this weekend. Make it a great one!

At this time, Ms. Virginia visited the animal shelter for their open house. While we were there, we made some photos of her with groups from the shelter, and other visitors that came by. The Hogettes were an unexpected surprise! While you may not know their history, you can see that they are characters. Whenever they show up at an event, they bring a lot of attention.

On this occasion, the animal shelter was having an open house. In order to show off their finished renovations, they had many guests come by this morning. Being that it was an animal shelter, I went back to see some of the pets available for adoption. In short, I wanted to take all of them home with me! By all means, please stop by the AWLA off of Eisenhower Ave., in Alexandria if you want to send your support!

Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph Marsha and Dmitry at the Regan Dance Center in Alexandria, VA.  They teach Ballroom, Latin, and Flamenco dancing classes for individuals and groups at the studio, and have an annual student Showcase to display their hard work! It is here that I first met them last year. As a couple, the also compete in professional ballroom dance competitions. For more information about lessons, their website is: Danceflame.com or you can follow them on Twitter @Danceflame.

This session was a lot of fun! It is something that I have wanted to try for a while. Photographing dancers while on the floor is so fast, and the challenge is to make a good exposure when they are in a good position compared to the camera. In the studio, dancers are always perfecting their body position, placing themselves into lines that are great for capturing with the camera. It was my turn to move the lights and change the power to create drama, emphasizing their poses. Thanks, Marsha, and Dmitry! I hope you enjoy the photos!
