Arthur Murray – Back to School Dance

Thursday night parties at the Arthur Murray studio in Tysons Corner is one of the busiest nights on the dance floor! There are group classes just before the party to give students new figures, or to review old figures before they go on their own to practice. With the really nice weather we have been having, it was nice to get outside for an evening before it gets too cold! The staff put together a nice party for everyone just outside the studio this evening. They put a speaker outside, provided some food and drink, then got everyone to dance as usual.

The area around the studio has been hopping with new activity. Tysons West right across the street, new restaurants opening, and the Metro Silver Line in full testing for next year’s opening, means that there is a lot to do! The dancing created a lot of attention, and some of the people passing by jumped in when invited to dance!

The energy and loudness of the music outside made it perfect for some line dancing!

Labor Day Holiday

I hope you are enjoying a day off today! The Labor Day holiday means the end of summer for many, and signifying new starts for schools, seasons, and (sometimes) weather. The slowly shorter days means more time for photos outside just after it is too warm and before it is too cold. The sun rising and lowering at less extreme times means instantly better photos for most.

I cannot wait to try more cool things to blog about this Fall. I have some ideas floating around and will start to try them this week. If any of your reading the blog have some ideas, please reach out! I cannot create dynamic new images especially without collaborating with some of you. That can obviously be seen with all of our event photography. Moreover, you have ideas that I have not even considered.

Now, maybe I’ll take a walk to recharge, eat outside while I still have the chance, and maybe take a road trip since the roads may be clearer than the summer. Lots of possibilities –

Canvas Sale

As I have noted, canvas prints have become a popular way to hang art on your walls. These prints are a more contemporary presentation of images, without frames, or borders. However, if you would like a more traditional setting, these can be placed into wood frames, or created with a color border surrounding the edges. At this time I have many of my personal prints hanging in my house this way. Mine are grouped into collections for wall spaces. I especially enjoy the reaction people have from seeing large, custom-made photographs in my home. Of course I appreciate having paintings or reprints of famous photos, but as personal as photography is to me, it is a perfect way to present my craft to family and visitors.

So much of my photography is from the ballroom dance floor. Many customers have emailed, and we have created nice groupings of canvas prints for their spaces. While some are on walls, some have them gone up staircases, others have been placed in their entertainment rooms where they practice some of their dancing. Unlike paper prints, it is much easier to hang these as larger prints – they come with rubber bumpers, and framing wire already attached so you just need to mount a picture frame hook to hang these pieces. If you have any questions about them, please let me know! I can help you measure out a good size for a space you were thinking, and can recommend images if you have a few in mind.
