I am making editing progress, and things are looking good! So many photos to go through, but it is fun to look back on 2 days of dancing. Not tiring yet of being in front of the computer but am taking a little break to blog this note. I’ll be back to working on the photos asap, I promise! They will be posted here by this weekend:

As long as I have been covering ballroom dance events, this has been an early stopping point. Joe Huesman was one of the first organizer to have us set up a booth at their event. Now, both the competition and our photography business has grown! With this in mind I keep that thought when I have to do so much work. Similarly to dance, photography is a luxury item, not a necessity. So I attempt to make the experience and products as luxurious as possible. Of course, I have to match what the dancers are putting out there. In fact, many of these dancers are aiming for a National Championship! Hopefully the photos will reflect their hard work to get there.

Editing Started – USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships

View from just off camera - TimeLine Media

We are back from a long weekend of dancing at the 2014 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. No, we did not get a chance to go out on to the floor and actually dance, but we did come away with over 10,000 photos! I have to thank my assistant photographers, and my wife for helping to make it a successful weekend! The editing of all the photos has started, and I hope to have them available at the proofing site by this Saturday.

Similar to other events, we will correct the color for each photo, and crop them as needed. On this occasion, we had a nice setup with our strobe lights. So I do not anticipate much work is needed on most of these. Additionally, we need to sort them by competitor. Likely, that will take the most time until then!

If you add your email list to the event site below, you will get an email as soon as they are ready to view. I will also announce it here on the blog. Back to work for me!

USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships – Setup Day

Wow – that last snow storm really packed a punch. Although we are sore from all the shoveling, my Valentine and I will be getting ready for our work weekend. It is a day to setup all the gear, to photograph the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships this weekend. The blog will probably not be updated until at least Monday since we will be busy clicking the shutter, downloading cards, and trying to keep up with all the action this weekend! To keep up with the latest updates, I will try to post updates to the Facebook page and to my Twitter feed. They are much easier to update from the side of the dance floor!

We enjoy starting off our year with this event. With all the different experience levels, and the seeing all of the dancers enjoying the spectacle whether it is the first or fiftieth dancesport competition is so much fun. There are some great photographers helping us this weekend, and we are excited to make some new photos for everyone to enjoy. From our average, it will take at least a week for us to edit the photos, and sort them according to number. It is always a big job, but that is the goal right now. To view all the photos from the event by next Saturday, February 22, 2014, you can go to the proofing site here:
