USA Dance – Mid Atlantic Championships

It is only 10 days until we head out to cover our first ballroom dance event of 2014 – USA Dance MAC! I am really excited about getting out there to make another big collection of dance photos. It has been a while, and I am well rested from the editing and sorting of photos from last year. I have been busy making new ones with personal projects, but I cannot wait to get back to the colors, the music, and all the great action on the dance floor.

If you are in the metro DC area, you should make plans to come see at last some part of the competition. The USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships is a huge competition with lots going on both on and off the floor. The venue, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, is one of the nicest settings for dancing. It is a large, bright room that can accommodate the large floor, and all the couples easily. We try to improve our setup of lighting every year, and I have some ideas for this year to help me and photographers make the best photos for you. Please come out and see the action live, and come back here to see our photos.

I know the organizers are always trying new things with each competition. They have a lot of technology in use to make it easier for the judges, scrutineers, and dancers to stay on track. We really enjoy seeing their innovation, and am privileged to be covering their event for another year. It should be a fun weekend!

While we are talking about websites, please take a look at my brand new main website! It is at www.timelinedc.com with an updated design, and lots of updated images. You may find your own photo up there too! Please visit, and send me some feedback – especially if something does not work correctly. It has been a big project to change this, and I am very pleased with how it has turned out. I am looking forward to making lots of new images this year, and I can’t wait to get started!

Looking back, there were a lot of nice photos from this event. It was packed from start to finish with dancing as the music and the emcees kept the action going all weekend long. The Potomac Cup team match is always a highlight at the freestyles. At the event, the Virginia side rocked out with 80’s hair band costumes, while the Maryland side had magic on their side with a Harry Potter theme. Both sides really went all out with their decorations, and their enthusiasm!

It has not been too long since I have gone through these photos. With the New Year, I am looking to update my portfolio website which has not changed in quite a while. In 2013, I focused on getting the blog up and running with fresh content every day, now I need to go back and redo the main website. Although it has not changed for some time, there are still good images there. Most did not make the cut for the new website since there has been so many changes in my shooting style, my equipment, and the way I post process the photos, so many of them will be going away. Stay tuned to more developments on this very soon!
