Portland Oregon Wedding and Portrait Photographer
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!
The starting day of Portland Lindy Exchange is finally posted here. The event was at the great Tiffany Center Crystal Ballroom where I shot one of my very first weddings in Portland. Can somebody remind me who the bands on each three days were?

As you most likely know, I go out swing and blues dancing couple times a week in Portland. When I showed up at PPAA dance featuring Midnight Serenaders couple months ago, I saw that they were filming it!
The footage was used in Oregon Art Beat on Oregon Public Broadcasting - you can see it here:

I appear for couple seconds at the 10.5 second mark. Fun!
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.

Here are couple quick picks:
Portland has a great swing dance community and they came together to host the 2008 Portland Lindy Exchange. Some of you might remember the pictures from the 2006 exchange here. I can’t believe it has been two years!
I was able to attend all three nights, however, the second night was right after a fantastic but long wedding I shot, so I didn’t bring my camera that night. Since I have not been out dancing as much lately, I didn’t take as many photos but rather took advantage of the great crowds and got my dancing fix in. Despite that, there are still over 200 photos.

One of the best places to take dance lessons is Northwest Conservatory of Dance in Hillsboro. I had the pleasure of photographing their dance recital a little while ago, and got some great images. This time it was time to photograph the young dancers at the studio! Check out what we came up with. Parents of the dancers can see the whole set here (password required).
We stopped by a great swing dance in Portland at Imago Theater. It was beautifully organized and the bands were great. Here are some photos, and even more can be found here.

NW Conservatory of Dance hosted their recital last weekend and I had the chance to photograph the performances. They were so fun and it was easy to see how much effort went into creating a show like this! Kudos!!!
