Expiring Photos

We are finishing the sorting and uploading of the photos from last weekend’s competitions, and I will have an update on those very soon. Please check your inbox if you are on the mailing list or on our Facebook page in order to see the latest updates. The images are looking really good, and I am excited to share them with you as soon as I can! There are over 8500 photos separated into over 100 folders. At this time, we are categorizing the photos by the man’s number that was used on the score sheets. If you need any help finding your photos, please email me [ rassi @ timelinedc.com ] and I will gladly help if you need.

Editing Update – New Jersey State Open

©TimeLine Media - NJ State Open Maxx/Vega show

The editing from last weekend’s 2013 New Jersey State Open is continuing. I am almost halfway through the edits, so it will likely be late Saturday before the photos will be ready to view. The workstation, Lightroom, and especially my fingers are working as fast as we can to finish these! Some of the photos that I have gone through include all the award lineups. If you would like to see these, they have been posted to the Facebook page for the competition which you can see here.

Here are some images from the other entertaining shows from Saturday night. There was a magician/comedian and a Michael Jackson impersonator that performed for the audience in between the professional competitions. They were a great break from the dancing, which gave the officials and judges a little break as they were tabulating scores from the competition.

Maxx Vega had an audience that was there to appreciate good dancing. It was a great venue for him to show off his skills. It was nice to hear MJ’s music so loud in the ballroom with a great interpretation of the King of Pop!

Awards – New Jersey State Open

For the most part, I stay on one side of the room to photograph ballroom dancers. There is a “good side” for the room that has awards, banners, or other displays that frame the dancers well at a particular competition. For the New Jersey State Open, they have a huge pink neon sign hanging from behind the stage where the emcee, DJ, scrutineers, and other organizers manage the flow of the competition.

They have a great elevated view of all the dancers and judges as they work throughout the weekend. There is a lot of action up there too – gathering score sheets, computing the lineups of all the couples, and making sure everyone is announced as they placed. It is a lot of work! Sometimes they get a little goofy as the days go on.

I really admire how well they pulled off the competition. There were no long delays in getting scores entered, and awards given out. They are usually photographer breaks, so I don’t mind, but they got everyone back to dancing quickly! We ran very early all weekend – it shows their experience in handling so many entries. Thank you!
