This will be just a quick posting today. I am packing up my gear for a weekend of shooting at SingStrong DC starting this evening. The last I heard, there were still tickets available, so come out if you want to hear some of the best a cappella groups with the proceeds from the event going to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

From what I remember from previous years this is a festival geared to real creative musicians. In particular singers that are familiar with the genre. However, other musicians can find how they can fit into group singing. In addition, they have some workshops on the business of music. With this in mind, SingStrong DC is building a community around music.

For fear that I will repeat work I did previously, I am envisioning what to capture this weekend. Although I cannot foresee exactly what the event will look like, I am prepared for something new. I am hoping to try to make some different photos in addition to the other performance photos from the concerts this year. With excited performers, I hope to post updates as soon as I can. Stay tuned to see what happens!

This photo is one of my favorites from covering the SingStrong DC event. Street Corner Symphony performed there in 2011, and the organizers gave me great access to shoot all around the venue. This was a shot from just back stage during their performance. It gives a different angle from most of the audience. The streaming stage lights give add a nice element to the photo. At this time it breaks up the big black hole for the top 3rd of the frame. Additionally, there is a little view of the audience in the bottom part of the frame. I processed the photo to be a contrasty black and white reminiscent of classic rock musician photos from the 70’s and 80’s.

The coolest thing was that I had the opportunity to see Street Corner Symphony perform again this month at Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA. Not only were they still as good as they were on the NBC Show, the Sing-Off, but they are still accessible and responsive to their fans. If you ever have the opportunity to see them, definitely take it! There will be more great singing this weekend at SingStrong, and I hope to make more great photos there again.

This will be just a quick blog post for this Friday. I am preparing all my gear for this weekend’s first ballroom dance event. I am more getting excited already, and can’t wait to get set up! But before the event, we will be heading to Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA to watch Street Corner Symphony perform. They are an a cappella group that we first saw on the NBC show, the Sing-Off. They competed very well and came in second place. Soon after, they were the headline act at the SingStrong event in Reston, VA. I photographed their performance which showed off the talents that they displayed on TV. It was a terrific show, andI can’t wait to hear them again.

This weekend we will be shooting the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships in Bethesda, MD. I don’t know if I will continue to blog updates during the event, but I hope to post at least something here, so stay tuned! After the event, I will go edit the photos, and post them to the photo proofing site at- http://proofs.timelinedc.com

You can go there now, put in your email at the event heading. I will send a notice to everyone as soon as the photos are available to view and purchase. I will only send out emails when there are specials, and when events are expiring. I’ll place other notices here on the blog. Have a great weekend!
