New Year's Eve! (finally)

On New Year's Eve I volunteered at the Edge. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pics to show case that.

Whats a New Year's Eve party without food and drink? This is focused much softer than I would have wanted it to be, but I did like the forwardness of the action in the image. Also I love that this kid is focusing so intently on his pouring. Kudos to him, that meant that there wasn't going to be a mess to clean up after he finished.

This Photo reminded me of cheesy 80's music videos with the mirrored light and persons. Photographing dancing can be fun if you play with it.


This is an image that shows a photograph can make action seem much, much more epic than the actual action. Carlton fell flat on his face immediately after this frozen moment in time. But he does look pretty cool doing a one handed handstand in the shot.

Like I said this image is a prime example of boys showing off 100 times more than usual in front of females with cameras. Joe's pole handstand break dancing led to many more show-offy antics. Such as the following:

This is Matt doing a Chuck Norris round house kick spin over top of Joe. I especially love the facial expression of Joe. He was cringing the entire time because he was positive that Matt was going to kick him square in the head. (Matt didn't kick anyone all night, but Joe did come close to knocking me over twice). I really enjoy that this picture contains both action and reaction.

And to wrap it up, here is the typical NYE picture of someone toasting to the New Year. I particularly like the speck of light that illuminates the mouth area. I noticed this and was very glad to get one frame that contained this speck of light.

Have a great 2009 everyone!
