This will be just a quick posting today. I am packing up my gear for a weekend of shooting at SingStrong DC starting this evening. The last I heard, there were still tickets available, so come out if you want to hear some of the best a cappella groups with the proceeds from the event going to the Alzheimer’s Association. 

From what I remember from previous years this is a festival geared to real creative musicians. In particular singers that are familiar with the genre. However, other musicians can find how they can fit into group singing. In addition, they have some workshops on the business of music. With this in mind, SingStrong DC is building a community around music.

For fear that I will repeat work I did previously, I am envisioning what to capture this weekend. Although I cannot foresee exactly what the event will look like, I am prepared for something new. I am hoping to try to make some different photos in addition to the other performance photos from the concerts this year. With excited performers, I hope to post updates as soon as I can. Stay tuned to see what happens!

Just a quick note today that the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles photos from September 28 – 28, 2012 are expiring on the proofing website on Monday, March 4, 2013. This will be the last chance to view these on the website. It is an extra charge in order to find your photos at a later date, but it is possible to get them out of the electronic archive. To view the photos, they are still available on the website here:

The next Arthur Murray dance event that we will be covering will be their 2013 Spring Freestyles held March 22 – 23, 2013 at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. Please leave me some feedback on the photos if you have viewed them. It helps us to adjust how we cover these events. Generally we have an idea of what we think looks good. Additionally, we put our photographers in a good position to get the best angles while being out of the way of the audience. However, we always look to improve. Especially since we cover so many of the events in the DC area, and we are familiar with so many of the staff, we want to contribute to their great events!

Street Corner Symphony

This photo is one of my favorites from covering the SingStrong DC event. Street Corner Symphony performed there in 2011, and the organizers gave me great access to shoot all around the venue. This was a shot from just back stage during their performance. It gives a different angle from most of the audience. The streaming stage lights give add a nice element to the photo. At this time it breaks up the big black hole for the top 3rd of the frame. Additionally, there is a little view of the audience in the bottom part of the frame. I processed the photo to be a contrasty black and white reminiscent of classic rock musician photos from the 70’s and 80’s.

The coolest thing was that I had the opportunity to see Street Corner Symphony perform again this month at Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA. Not only were they still as good as they were on the NBC Show, the Sing-Off, but they are still accessible and responsive to their fans. If you ever have the opportunity to see them, definitely take it! There will be more great singing this weekend at SingStrong, and I hope to make more great photos there again.
