Subject: geso house party


I had a very busy weekend. I was the photographer for a dance workshop, so it worked out that in the span of 10 days, I was at dance workshops for 7 of them. When I got there on Thursday one of the people saw my K-x, and it turns out that he has a K20. He was kind enough to loan me his sigma 10-20, and even the K20 (mine should arrive home today) for most of the camp.

Saturday night, a bunch of us went over to a house party, thrown by one of the local dancers. Jane's parties are awesome. They're in a nice house in Oakland, and a bunch of the dancers that are also musicians will play until about midnight. Most of the people there were regulars in the local lindy hop or blues dancing community, the sort of people that take their dancing about as seriously as most of the people on this list take their photography, so the level of dancing was quite a bit higher than you might find at a random party. It was an amazing evening.

Not all of the shots are as crisp and sharp as I'd like, and it's particularly frustrating when that happens on what would otherwise be an amazing photo, but I'm working on letting go of the quest for technical excellence in these situations. Comments and suggestions are, of course, welcome. I've got a lot of photos to process from the weekend, so I don't have the time to completely polish each one in post processing at the moment. Fortunately the new lightroom interface makes it easy to go back and clean up shots later.
