From time to time when I shoot at Temple (where I usually shoot during the dress rehearsals) I like to come back to shoot from the wings. I love the potential and unique vantage point I get shooting from the wings. The tough part is you never know what you’ll get even more so from [...]

At first stopping by the Performance Garage Dance Marathon today without my camera, I was there to support and of course watch some performances and chat up some of the folks I know who stopped by to perform or take class. It started out with me just taking a picture or two of a couple [...]

Now by image enhancement I don’t mean changing the core of the moment itself or adding things to the image. In most cases I usually mean playing with the lighting within the images or conversion [...]
