Dancesport Competition Friday

This weekend is the 2013 New Jersey State Open! We are excited about going back to Atlantic City to cover this event. The organizers have run a smooth competition over the 3 years we have photographed the dancers that have competed there. Each year, there is a growth in the amount of entries and this year is the largest one yet! Dancing will start at 7AM on both Friday and Saturday. So it will be an earlier start than expected for everyone attending.

Please come introduce yourself to us at the photography table. If you will be doing any special choreography, let me know so that I can be sure to look out for the best angle to capture it. I will be looking out over everyone on the floor, but will be more aware if you let me know of anything special. I may be able to help you get the best angle by telling you where my lights will be setup for the best look.

On Saturday evening, there will be more than just professional competition on the floor. There will be some other entertainers performing for the audience, and I think you will enjoy what the organizers have planned. Last year, a juggler and rhythm gymnast also performed in between the pro heats, and they were received well by guests. Come see the action this weekend! If you can’t make it this time, I will have some of my favorite images here on the blog as usual.

Choices

Happy rxbywhgrth birthday to my wife today! She has always been a supporter of my endeavors, and I have been much more successful because of her. We have make a good team, and looking back, we have accomplished much when we make a goal and work for it. Putting it in writing makes it seem more cold and thought out than how it actually happened. But our choices have gotten us to where we are today, and I am so lucky that she chose me to walk through life with her. The photos in the post are a few of her favorite things.

For my photography, she has helped me work out so much of my business practices. We teamed up to start photographing ballroom dance events, and we had to work out so much of back end of how to do this better than what we had experienced as guests. We tried things that worked, and attempted things that did not work. With every event I have done, she has been there to keep everything organized, and make sure I stayed refreshed over long weekends.

When we have done especially well, she has been quick to note how we have progressed. She remembers things in great detail to we can repeat, or make the good things even better the next time. It is constantly improving, and it has really kept me going. If I was doing this on my own, I probably would have burned out by now. But she has been a great sound board for my ideas, and she implements her ideas for helping customers get their images. Working with her in this way has made me appreciate her gifts much more than if we were both working jobs that were independent of each other. It is not the an easy task to photograph events the way that we do, but neither is anything worth doing.

Happy Birthday, baby! Can you download this card for me?

Skyline Drive

Thankfully the recent partial shutdown of the federal government is over. There were so many affected by this both inside and outside Washington. When focusing on what services were affected most outside of the capital city, many media outlets pointed to National Parks. The rangers and other staff that supports the functions in these areas were forced to keep the gates closed. With everything reopened, there were lines of cars this weekend waiting to enter the parks again! We took advantage of the beautiful weather to see if any of the fall colors had started to come to the trees in the Appalachian Mountains of western Virginia.

Starting from the gate in Front Royal, VA, we drove through the very northern part of Skyline Drive. The rangers at the station had a long line of cars to go through, but they were very happy to see all the visitors. Although we did not go more than 10 miles from this gate, there is plenty for you to see along the way. There are numerous overlooks into the valleys below with the meandering Shenandoah River carvings its way through the mountains. It’s highly reflective waters are easy to spot from high.

At one of the overlooks, there were para gliders that seem to hang over the road! They took a glide over the people stopping at overlooks, and waved to everyone as they slowly moved overhead. More than a few kids were asking mom and dad for a chance to join them.

Although the fall colors were not at their peak, there were already many golden leaves on the trees. Some of the overhang in areas were bathing the forest floor in beautiful light. As the sun was setting, their colors were accentuated, and I wished that we could have stayed until sunset. Peak this season should be beautiful for anyone making the trek through the mountains this year.
