Archiving Photos

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray smooth dancing

With the Monday expiration of some photos from the website, I have received a few emails about why they are removed. I would love to keep all the photos easily accessible for everyone, but it is expensive to buy online storage. Each of these events are multiple gigabytes of data, and it costs a lot to keep them on servers permanently.

Web – SPACE

With this in mind I have implemented and archiving procedure to still have backups for all the images, but they are off the proofing site server. I keep them up there for as long as the server will allow before I reach my maximum data usage time, then I have to remove them to make room for new events. They are still backed up, and they are accessible later, so you still can get to them, but additional work has to go in to find them in the archive, and re-upload so that they can be viewable again. If you do have some photos that you think you may want to purchase prints for in the future, I suggest that you record the file name for the image. For example this is a full file name from an event:

0034-2013-AM-SSC

0034 is the image number, 2013 the year of the event, and AM-SSC indicates that this is from the Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. If you have this information, I can usually get prints faster out of the archive when you are ready. If you know you have some previous event photos that you did not get a chance to see at the time, let me know! In the meantime, here are some photos of Smooth ballroom dancing from the 2013 Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles that are expiring on Monday. Enjoy!

I am busy working on another personal project for a local dance studio. It will combine graphic design and photography althogether. I can’t wait to show you the results! At this time, I have been using more of the Adobe software line, and I have been learning a lot about these programs. I will definitely be blogging more about this soon since the results are amazing. Have a great weekend everyone!

All of these photos are from the River City Ballroom Dance Competition. On this occasion, the event was held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Being such a large space, we enjoyed making photos of the dancers at this friendly competition. For this reason, you should send the link to anyone that would like to see the photos from this event.

New Jersey State Open Photos

Last Fall, we photographed the 2012 New Jersey State Open. This event capped a busy October for ballroom dance events. We traveled to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, NJ. This venue is very nice for these events – a very large ballroom that is close to the hotel lobby, casino, and restaurants. Although it is off the boardwalk, there is still lots of action around the event. Dancers definitely occupy the bulk of the traffic on these weekends. Both the American Star Ball and the New Jersey State Open have been held here the last 2 years, and we enjoy the setup here.

Happily, the organizers have asked us be the official photography vendor for the 2013 event! We are excited about going back to see what new things they have planned. Over our years of covering this event, we have changed venues, and formats, all for the better. Last year, there were some entertaining performances including a rhythm gymnast and juggler that had the really added to the variety flavor of the Saturday evening show.

The updated website recently went live, so the organizers will be ramping up as details are added about the competition held October 24-27, 2013. If you will be there, let me know! I want to be sure to be ready in case you are doing anything specific that you want me to try to get in photos for you. Of course, I will be doing my best to do that all weekend, but it is nice to have the heads up! Here are some of my favorites from last year’s event – enjoy!
