Portland 2009 Blues Dance Competition

I took some photographs at the first Portland Blues Dance competition at Portland’s Lenora’s Room. It was a very fun event and got some great black and white dance pictures of the dancers.  The rest of the night was filled with great blues dancing as well!

High Definition Blues Dancing Video with Canon 5d MkII

I have been very interested in shooting video for some time now. I actually want to go into directing at one point in the future.

So I decided to do some videography, photographing my favorite subject matter: dance and dancers! This particular video was shot at a Portland Blues Dance party. I love low light photography, so low light video is a perfect fit.

Here is a video that is mostly my footage (except for the interviews). It is expertly put together and edited by John Tillinghast.  Camera work in interviews is by Dan Kaufman. My footage starts around 0:26 mark.

Portland Lindy Exchange 2009 - Day 2

I had the pleasure of attending Portland Lindy Exchange this year as well. It was a blast. Due to my travel schedule, I am only able to post Day 2 at this point, but check back in about 10 days and I will post the other days as well.

If you want to see the whole set from day 2, go here.

I also shot some video - it is not edited, but it is fun to watch.
