DC Area Arthur Murray – Fall Freestyles

Tysons, Virginia

We are all packed up and ready to shoot the 2011 Fall Freestyles! On this occasion the venue is the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA. It will be another great event organized by the DC Area Arthur Murray dance studios. Although it has not started, we have a good idea on what to expect. Surely there will be enthusiastic students and instructors cheering on their friends.

Dancers will show off their hard work from the studio on the big floor. It is always a good time, and the dancers love to view their photos as we go through them. Obviously we can’t wait to get some great photos of the professional shows that cap the event on Saturday night. In general, I save portfolio images from these pro shows as they are the capstone for a weekend of dancing.

I hope to see you there! As soon as we finish photographing, I start the post processing which takes a few days. Photos from the event will be posted here by next week:

2010 NFL Football

Last season was my first chance at photographing professional 2010 NFL Football – you know, the good kind :-). Shooting for Southcreek Global Media, I got access to shoot training camp for the Washington Redskins at their campus in Ashburn, VA. They routinely had good crowds for the practices, and all were anticipating a great season for the team. During one of the practices, the PR team gave me and some other photographers access to the roof at Redskins Park to get a wide view of the practice fields and the crowds –

Warmups was an opportune time to capture repeating elements in the frame with many players huddled together –

I also photographed two games at FedEx field in Landover, MD – a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, and a Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rex Grossman playing in a 2010 preseason game – he will be the starter for the beginning of the 2011 season –

DeSean Jackson catching an early pass from Michael Vick before some of the crowd even got to their seats!

Head Coach Mike Shanahan having a long night against the Eagles and the officials –

It turned out to be a record-setting night for Michael Vick as his Eagles won 59-28.

Not surprising, ESPN has great lighting for post-game interviews!

Holy Trinity 10th Anniversary Gala

In late June, I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful gala celebration for the 10th Anniversary of the start of Holy Trinity Parish in Gainesville, VA. There was a great crowd there to celebrate the challenging work done over the last decade. Afterwards it led to the creation of a large and active church community with an amazing building for Sunday Masses. Some of those attending were Anne and Ronald Dixon from Dixon Studio. They are the incredible artists whose award-winning work is on display at the parish. They created many of the windows, objects, and other details built into the church building, some of which I photographed for them here.

The evening’s main event was a musical performance by Julie Murphy Wells, the lead vocalist of Eddie From Ohio. She sang her favorite selections of standards and Broadway songs with her band in Merchant Hall of the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA. This space is the premiere place for holding musical, theatrical presentations for audiences in the area. I have enjoyed many performances of symphonies and other musical groups at area auditoriums, but Hylton is now a place to proudly display talented performers. I would like to come back to photograph or enjoy another performance before too long!

Don’t mess with a knife-juggling priest.
