The biggest highlight of this past week had to be THON. As old as THON posts are getting, I will try to keep this one as unique and non-cliche as possible. It was hard for me to stop taking pictures with all the different colors that were surrounding me and all of the ridiculous dance moves that people were showing off. Being on the floor provided me an awesome opportunity to take some great photos of dancers working hard throughout the weekend, but I felt a bit awkward taking photos of random people with my little camera. Dancing were crying, laughing, struggling, and pushing through and I wish I could have captured these moments that help people see what THON weekend entails. One of the most captivating moments on the floor of the Bryce Jordan Center came when it was time for line dances. Everyone on the floor who is tired and resting gets up, and almost everyone in the stands participates. The first few times were a bit messy, but towards the end of the weekend, everyone in the BJC was dancing to the same dance and it almost looked jaw dropping. In this photo, I tried to get a perspective from near the stage of the line dance. One could see that everyone seems to have similar movements going on, it made for a great capture. All of the colors help to show the audience of the photo how much personality the event has and how excited people get about THON. Overall, this picture really helps to capture the spirt of the past weekend.
It is the coolest thing to see everyone in the BJC moving and dancing in the same way, we kind of look like the world's least intimidating army. I was looking back on THON pictures too and I stil can't find one of the final four hours that captures the feelings I had through out it. Another powerful picture is when everyone in the BJC throws up the diamond. Wow, chills.
ReplyDeleteHey dude, there's no shame in another THON post. I loved seeing all of the picture from the weekend, I still stop and check them out whenever I see them. What's cool to me is how the picture of three friends standing in the stands is just as awesome as the crazy panoramic shots where you can zoom in and find yourself. Definitely a good picture and post.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone's pictures from different vantage points. It really encapsulates what THON is about for me, thousands of people coming together for a little less than two days and dancing their hearts out for a fantastic cause. The bright colors definitely add to the excitement of the image. It's a really great capture of the excitement and craziness that the whole event was.
