I have just about finished with all the orders from this big shopping weekend. Firstly, thank you to everyone that visited the website to view and purchase photos from ballroom dance events that TimeLine Media has covered this year! The most popular event to view of course was the very recent Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. The day was a blur with all the activity, but my photographers and I made some great photos from morning until night. The event ends as all of them do with a showcase of the professional dancers that instruct the students at the studios. The first show that I’ll highlight on the blog is from the Arthur Murray – Columbia, Maryland studio:

Columbia, MD Studio

We have seen these two in lots of shows and routines over the years, and we were happy to see them perform together again. In fact, they are in the middle of our first ballroom brag book that we created as a studio demo from a show that they performed some time ago. This routine was a beautiful rumba with some nice lines. The challenge for the rumba, keeping balance through moves that work the hips was displayed very well in this show. It can look deceivingly easy to dance except to the audience full of dancers that have all tried this style.

They make it look so easy! Nicely done!

Washington DC – Capitol Dome

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Capitol Dome in Washington, DC. I had no idea this milestone was this close, but I have been taking many photos of the building lately. There are plans to completely cover the dome with scaffolding for the next 2 years because of the deteriorating conditions of the structure.

A story published on CBS News’ 60 Minutes program last night had a lot more photography from inside the dome and flyovers above the building. I know that the time will pass quickly, but I want to get as many photos as I can before the dome is covered. These photos were from a recent walk on Capitol Hill in the early evening with the Fuji X100s. The camera continues to perform very well for me!

Being that scaffolding is planned for the dome, wedding photographers have posted their concerns about photos around the city for the next couple of years. Indeed, it will be another way to mark this time in DC history. Additionally it will be completed by the time we inaugurate the next president. Progress and democracy will keep rolling on in our city.

Small Business Saturday

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!
