Photo Challenge: “I Wanna Dance!”

While attending the Blissdom Conference in Nashville, going to see Harry Connick Jr. in concert would have to rate as one of the most awesome experiences I had there.

It wasn’t awesome just because Harry was there (although it goes without saying that he was a huge part of the awesomeness of the night)…but also because I got to hang out with my girlfriends, dance the night away and have F-U-N!!

The nightclub we were in was an absolute nightmare from a photographer’s point of view.  Very dark with crazy lights flashing everywhere and tons of movement.  It was even more nightmarish because this forgetful photographer left her huge, wonderful, amazing external flash sitting up on the bed in her hotel room instead of taking it to the concert with her. {shame on me!}  My feet were hurting so bad from wearing my cute, super-high heels and walking 10 miles through the hotel with them on that you couldn't have paid me to run back up to my room to get the flash though.  LOL!

So, I’m choosing this photo as my “I Wanna Dance!” entry…mainly because it shows off so many of my girlfriends that I enjoyed an amazing weekend with…laughing, being goofy, having fun together and dancing the night away!

Why can't we all get together and dance like that once a month? Is that too much to ask? We need to make friends with someone rich who has a private jet.

What a fun shot! Nice movement, great expressions. The flare that you got from the lights really makes the whole thing, I don't think you needed your flash!

Amy @ Living Locurto said...

Why do you always put nerdy photos of me on here?? And yes, what ARE we doing with our hands... the robot? LOL!!! I'm with Julie, anyone have a private jet we can borrow? That was the best night I've had in a loooong time.

The hands... I need to know what's up with the hands! Love the way you worked out the lighting and turned a nightmare into a dream! (and Amy, oh puleeeze... you are cute, and tall, and us short people envy you for looking so good no matter what!)

I thought the same thing when I saw this photo in my files...what's up with the hands?!

I think you all were trying out the robot right then. Which, I just have to say, I thought you all rocked it out!

Good times. Good times. :)
