Small Business Saturday

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray professional Showcase

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? The malls definitely saw a lot of traffic yesterday. We ventured out later in the day just to see how some of the malls handled the day! It must have been a hard day for the retail workers, so hopefully they can rest and recover soon! Some have dubbed today, “Small Business Saturday” encouraging people to shop at small, local stores in their communities. Although TimeLine Media does not have it’s own physical store front, we try our best to have everything running smoothly today for our customers that don’t want to venture out in the cold after shopping all day yesterday. We have all of the events from this year re-uploaded for you to view!

The year goes by so quickly! So many of you talked with us about forgetting the photos from previous events, so this is your second chance to view and share them. According to the website, there are over 160,000 images uploaded for viewing!  We have tried to make it easier to find your photos by categorizing them by studio, if you were at an Arthur Murray event, or by your partners number if you were in competitive heats. Please let me know if you need any help finding images you are looking for. I’d be happy to help!

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!

Fall Showcase Editing

Tysons, Virginia

My feet, and back are sore, and I didn’t even dance one heat yesterday! It was a long day at the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase, but we did make lots of photos of all the routines and the All-Around competition. The dancers are starting to recover, and I have started editing the photos so that we can share them with you this weekend. We really enjoyed catching up with dancers from other studios! We appreciate all the nice feedback we received from those of you that ordered pictures and digital downloads from us. It is really nice to hear how you are displaying your photos, and showing them off to your friends.

Again we were treated to some awesome professional shows to end the evening. I have not even looked at the photos from last night, but I thought I would share some from the Fall Freestyles that have not been posted on the blog yet. This was a Cha Cha by Brandon and Carolina from Arthur Murray – Columbia.

These two put on some of the most entertaining shows! They really engage with the audience with their technical and sharp lines. Overall, it makes editing their photos an enjoyable job! Last night, they each had different partners for their professional shows which I am sure will be featured in the blog as soon as I can get them finished.

Stay tuned here and on the TimeLine Media Facebook page for updates on when all the photos will be done and ready on the proofing site. We will be taking Thursday off for eating and football, but I still plan to have them done by Saturday. Thank you!
