Sorry about the delay.  The kids got out of school so we had all of the fun craziness that goes along with the last weeks of school.  We have vacation/national for dance coming up in a week so it is going to be busy here for a while.  I will try to get some new goodies for you to check out.  Farewell until then…

Finally

Sorry for the lack of  posting but I have been uploading pictures for the last 4 weeks.  I finally finished this morning with the last straggler.  I apologize to all of the people who have been waiting patiently for their pictures.  I have had some terrible connection problems the last couple of weeks.  On top of that my sister is in the hospital.  It was looking not so good over the weekend but things seem to be improving slowly.  Now that I have a minute to breath and look over the Dance Out pictures I will try to get some cool ones posted in the next couple of days.  Farewell until then..

He had his bath time while I was over and wanted to show off his cool towel.

My couples workshop editing was delayed again because of Dance Out the dance competition I shoot the action shots for.  I was scrambling last week to get everything together for the weekend.  Then the weekend started on Friday night and finally finished up about 9 Sunday night.  I spent yesterday recovering and filling orders.  Got some cool shots I’ll put up in a couple of days.  Farewell until then..

Dance

I have been promising dance pics for a while now.  Now I’m ready to deliver.  These are pictures from my kids’ showcase.  It is a performance of all of the dances that the studio is competing for the year.  If you have ever been involved with competitive dance it is nice to have them all preformed in one three hour slot rather than over a three day weekend.  I’m fortunate enough to actually enjoy a break for showcase because I get to watch with the rest of the crowd instead of from the side of the stage.  It is the one time the kids preform that I get to take off the stage hand hat at kind of watch.  It’s rather hard to watch a show with a camera jammed to your eye the whole time.  Well that’s enough rambling from the peanut gallery on with the show.

I really enjoy seeing what I get in the pictures but the downer is that I don’t really get to watch the performances.  Kind of ironic I know, but chasing dancers across the stage with the lens is not the same as watching the dance.  It’s a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, well not so much blood as sweat and tears, you try holding a 10 lb camera to your eye for 4 hours, but the ends justify the means in this case.  All of the dances are really talented and fun to capture on “film.” It is going to take me a while to get through all 8000+ pictures but when the mountain has been climbed I will get some posted.
