Renewed 2012 events expiring

At this time, I wanted to remind you of expiring ballroom dance events. Prior to the holidays, I renewed some TimeLine Media events at the proofing site for gift ordering. However, these renewed events will expire again on Monday, January 7, 2013. These are mostly events that took place earlier in 2012. After many requests they were renewed for people that wanted to get photo gifts. In short, the events that will expire are:

Arthur Murray Summer Showcase

That’s Dancing Studio Summer Showcase

American Star Ball Championships

NOVA Fashion Week – Behind the Scenes

Middleburg Point – to -Point

Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles

River City Ballroom Dance Competition

Baltimore Dancesport Challenge

Marsha Bonet Workshop

Mid-Atlantic Championships

Events that were scheduled to expire after Monday will still be available to view on the website:

To be sure, I’ll be looking back on these events on the blog again. Your photos from previous events can still be retrieved from the archive. If you are interested in getting photos from them, send me an email! Given that they are archived electronically, they can be found. Although there is a $30 to go back into the archive old photos can still be retrieved. If you have any questions, please send me an email- rassi at timelinedc.com, or give me a call: 703-864-8208.

Washington Monument Birthday!

The Washington Monument was dedicated on February 21, 1885. I guess that makes it the 127th birthday of the unmistakable landmark that greets visitors to the capitol city. The height restrictions on buildings in the city make it the most visible and identifiable marker, and it makes for a great backdrop for photos from the White House to the cherry blossoms, or even from across the river in Virginia. I’ll have to refresh my collection of images that include the monument next time I have the chance.

This image was one from a walk around the National Mall on a beautiful spring afternoon. With the clear blue skies, and strong sunlight, strong shadows were on the sides opposite from the sun. Adding a darkened vignette on the edges helps to emphasize the monument.

Although the structure looks basic, it can change its looks drastically throughout the day. On this occasion the up lighting below nicely highlights the edges in the setting sun. Since it is such a recognizable monument in the city, it gives you plenty of opportunities to set its location from you entire collection.

DC Area Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

We are all packed up and ready to shoot the 2011 Fall Freestyles! On this occasion the venue is the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. It will be another great event organized by the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios. Although it has not started, we have a good idea on what to expect. Surely there will be enthusiastic students and instructors cheering on their friends.

Dancers will show off their hard work from the studio on the big floor. It is always a good time, and the dancers love to view their photos as we go through them. Obviously we can’t wait to get some great photos of the professional shows that cap the event on Saturday night. In general, I save portfolio images from these pro shows as they are the capstone for a weekend of dancing.

I hope to see you there! As soon as we finish photographing, I start the post processing which takes a few days. Photos from the event will be posted here by next week:
