Congrats to Stella’s and Performance Edge 2 at Hall of Fame

My family’s first competition of the season was this past weekend. We are all exhausted, but everyone did great and I even got a wedding in on Saturday. One highlight of the weekend, at the very last awards ceremony at the end of the last day, and thus at the fringes of sanity, was the Dad Dance Competition. My immediate assumption - that I was going to be immune from this spectacle - was quickly shattered as I spy Max rushing at me from the stage. Max begat the dance moms seated nearby (if only I sitting alone in prime shooting position…) which begat the awards host attention which ultimately begat yours truly as Dad #4. After surely being served by the first three dads, I did the only thing I could think of - which was absolutely nothing. I was all freaky show but no go. As luck would have it, this particular category was judged solely by audience decibel level - and the kids from Stella’s and PE2 put a deafening beatdown on the rest of that auditorium. Not only was I treated to chants of “Tony! Tony! Tony!” but I even got my own dance: The Tony Schreiber - it looks like a robot taking pictures.

As a really big thank you to all the performers, I’ve put super special pricing on the 2010 and 2009 Dance Galleries. These are some of my favorite shots from Showcase 2010 and 2009 and Premiere 2009. Stuff like this:

Madmen, 2009

and this:

Belief, 2009

from Showcase 2009 and Premiere 2009, and images like this from Showcase 2010:

Sweet Dreams, 2010

and this:

Breath of Heaven, 2010

What does super special pricing mean? Un-watermarked downloads for only $2 (1mp) and $3 (4mp) and 8×12 prints for only $6 (lustre) and $8 (metallic). On top of that, because I still can’t believe any one would chant “Tony! Tony! Tony!”, I’ve added a coupon that works until next week (3/1/2010) for an additional 10% - just use coupon code DAD4. Proceeds from your order go to Illusion Dance Company.

I’m posting a bit out of order, but these have been sitting on the cooling rack after baking, so I wanted to share.

“He will ask if you are comfortable. You say yes.”

She pauses to take a long drag from her cigarette.

“He will ask if it feels natural. You say yes.”

A long exhale, sinuous smoke.

“He will ask if it hurts. You say no.”

The cigarette drops to the ground.

“You do whatever he asks of you.”

She grinds the toe of her left pump.

“You will probably get angry at him. Throw things.”

She lifts her her chin slightly. A faint scar appears.

“Later you see the picture.”

She changes position, adjusts a strap, readies herself.

“You will be gorgeous.”

For an upcoming wedding, The bride and I were discussing when to start with pictures and the best way to time events given other constraints. I figured if I had the liberty to define this brief period in time, I would try to do so with as much detail as I could muster.

INTERIOR. AFTERNOON.

Tropical Hotel Suite.

03:00
Brooding, auteur photographer enters the hotel suite. Bridemaids swoon
and exchange glances. Then giggle. He appraises the room and its
occupants, deems them worthy of photography and prepares himself and his
equipment.

03:04
All the occupants of the room have been dressed, mostly stockinged-feet
dart about. They are donning final accoutrement and attending to each
others hair or makeup, or often, tidying the area. Our stealthy
photographer has begun to capture details around the room, an
intelligence gathering mission in disguise.

03:10
The wedding dress is captured near or far from where it hang, perhaps
adjusted slightly, perhaps not. Other details begin to take shape:
rings, flowers, shoes and the activity that accompanies the anticipation
of a special event.

03:15
The bride is in the last stage of makeup. She is stunning, as all brides
are. The remaining touches highlight the key features that define our
unique heroine.

03:20
The bridesmaids have assembled in another room with glorious light to
prepare the bride's dress for a delicate installation.

03:22
The bride enters, an attendant closes the door slowly behind her. The
photographer is left in the hallway, tapping his foot. politely.

03:28
The photographer finds optimum vantage points and deftly records the
last few moments of the bride's transformation.

03:30
Attendants gracefully fall away from the bride in awe, leaving her basking
in a shimmering sunlit glow.

FADE TO BLACK.

I’m experimenting with using a camera to “scan” old photos. I received a box of photos from my dad and I thought this image in particular was great, so this is what I started with…
