Snow Weekend!

Well we prepared for snow as best we could. There were warnings all week, and although we planned to attend the Clover Star Classic in Philadelphia, we decided to not go. Instead we make sure our home would be safe over the weekend. Luckily, the event was postponed. On account of the change, we had a chance for some photo opportunities. Of course we had to also put away the cameras and do some shoveling. Ugh. In any case, here are some photos from the weekend –

I think there’s a car under the snow here somewhere:

My car is definitely under here:

The snow covering surfaces gives the most unique photos from these storms. Although it seems to come down evenly everywhere, the piles show a different story. Of course, I thought about another time lapse, but I did not think of a new perspective from the last time. So, I just stayed in and waited for the storm to subside before getting out the camera.

Similarly to other storms, we had clear skies after the worst was over. It was undeniably far from warm, but the sun made it almost pleasant to be outside. How did you fare through the storms?

2010 Clover Star Classic

Thanks to University of Pennsylvania Latin & Ballroom Dance for inviting me to photograph their upcoming event, the Clover Star Classic! We went to this event last year and had a blast! The collegiate competition is amazingly enthusiastic and athletic.

Combined with their creative choreography, the ballroom costumes really fly by as the shutter tries to keep up! This will be TimeLine Media’s first ballroom dance event of the year, and I’m excited about photographing more. Overall, I have a goal of making unique and memorable images for dancers this year.

Did you attend the event last year? It was our first time going up there, and I want to receive some feedback on the photos. Especially since that was our collegiate ballroom event, we did not know what to expect. Of course we were blown away by the professionalism and focus that the dancers put into their art. Moreoever, we know they are studying dancing while doing a full course load of classes! For this reason, we are looking forward to see what the dancers have been working on since last year.

I’ll post some of my favorites both on this blog, and on the newly created Fan page for TimeLine media which can be found at this Facebook link.

Upcoming Dance events – Clover Star Classic

Excited! TimeLine Media is set to cover the Clover Star Classic in Philadelphia, PA on February 7, 2009. Overall, ballroom dance photography is a photographer’s dream assignment! With all the colors, the movement, and subjects that are picture-ready, the opportunities for especially great photos are plentiful. For those that attend the event, I will post the images at this website for you to preview, share with your friends, and order prints. I love the challenge to capture these quick moments, and I hope the participants enjoy!

UPDATE! At this time the photos from the UPenn Ballroom event are now ready to view! This was our first collegiate ballroom dance event that we attended. Though we had not been to this venue, I think we setup our lighting nicely for action photos. We want to especially thank the organizers from the UPenn Ballroom club for inviting us to photograph the event. Moreover, they were very accommodating to us helping to get our booth and cameras setup in the ballroom. If you have any trouble finding your photos, please let me know.
