Imago Ballroom / Theater is a wonderful location on SE 8th and Burnside. It is very near the Viscount Ballroom that I used to go every Friday. Russ started a swing dance on Friday at Imago, and the first act was the Pete “Spanky” Petersen vs Pete Krebs band duel. It was just a friendly event of course. We rocked out to both bands and the end result was VERY close. What a great night. Beautiful music, great dancers and great location.
Here are some photos. If you want to see more, click Portland Swing Dance Pictures at Imago Theater Ballroom.

Seattle Photo Challenge was an idea brought to life by Mat Hayward (and Cory Paris). The idea is simple - pick a place, use a 80mm equivalent lens, and in 1-1.5 hours and see what you come up with - no constraints on subjects. So we got together at the Pike Place market and shot away. Frankly I do not shoot with 80mm equivalent for photojournalism much so it was definitely a challenge for me. Once done we submitted 5 of our favorites (posted below) and other photographers vote. In the end, I placed 3 out of my 5 at the final selection and got 2nd place. But more importantly, it allowed me to shoot for myself. I haven’t been doing personal projects as much as I like to, so this was a great way to kick me in the butt for that. Thanks Mat! It was lots of fun. I will be posting more personal projects here. I think it is important for photographers to push their boundaries and get out of our comfort area.
Anyways, the rest of the photos can be seen here: Seattle Photo Challenge
Let me know which ones you like the best.
