It took me a while to post these. I wasn’t really happy with them. Last weekend, I attended a Hip Hop dance competition called City vs City. It was like something out of a movie. If you have seen the movie “You Got Served” this competition really was just like the last dance scene in the movie (minus Lil Kim and the bright lights). It was an interesting day, because I pretty much hated everything I shot while I was there. But the day turned out to be a good thing for me. First of all, it allowed me to try to shoot something that I’m just not at all good at capturing. And second, it really was a good ego check. I had been a little less humble about my skills with a camera lately. Most of the photogs I know will agree that any sense of satisfaction with their images is completely ephemeral. I think I’d like to restate it: if you love all your pictures, you’re not shooting enough. Which has definitely been the case lately. So I went and stunk up the joint to the tune of 1500 images. These are some of my faves. I really want to thank KBev for inviting me to tag along and for showing me some of his tricks to capturing the best action, even though I wasn’t able to come close to emulating his great photos.
Nice shots! Funny how alot of us techies ended up exploring our creative sides with more passion than what we majored in.
