I need to get out more.
I don’t make it a point enough to head downtown for Riverside’s Art Walk, the 1st Thursday of every month.
I tend to pop in only when my students have their work displayed at Back to the Grind.
Thursday evening I got to meet the family of some my students and I was also treated to some very exquisite Belly Dancing by Hadia Habibi.
In my previous life I photographed all sorts of events, indoors, outdoors, some staged others totally impromptu.
On a good day, my photo assignment would give me a good idea or a “mental picture†of what to expect.
Lighting on-the-fly–With little preparation, all I could do was put my Canon 580EX with radio receiver, set it to 1/32th power, keep my fingers crossed that Hadia would be dancing in the general area.
