GOTR 2010 Slideshow and Prints

Posted in charity, commercial projects

My favorite part of this event is putting together the slideshow. I cant wait for all the photographers to get me their images, to see how they saw the day, and then put it altogether as a visual story that represents the day and hope I do it justice.
A special shout out to the other photographers who took some amazing photographs Stephen Laico and Matthew D Lyons.
And this also means that all the photographs are ready for viewing here http://www.digiproofs.com/EmilyWeiss/
(EDITED: The original gallery has expired but please contact me if in interested in prints)

Yolanda Stallmann - Great pictures! It is amazing to see the emotions and hard work of these kids. My daughter run too and it is a great event! Thankx.

Carol - Emily,

I saw the whole race but didn’t see the entire picture. You do, and its timeless. You captivate those who see your pictures and your slideshow, and you capture the spirit of the program.

CLWB

Betsy - The pics and video brought tears to my eyes!! I can’t tell how amazing and powerful these images are – and for those of us trying to manage the chaos behind the scenes and missed seeing the girls, the slide show is a perfect reminder of why we were so manic!!
I can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work!!

Girls on the Run – Decmeber 2010

Posted in charity, commercial projects

One word for the Girls on the Run 5K today: WET! But it did not dampen the spirit, enthusiasm, and determination of these girls and their parents/run buddies/coaches. You know they worked so hard to get here. You can see it in their faces. This moment is huge, to finish is amazing, to see all the hard work pay off is exhilarating.

EDITED: Come view all the Race Day photos at: http://www.digiproofs.com/ecom/g.pl

This was my 5th time photographing this race and was my coldest, wettest, darkish conditions to date. But I loved every minute of it. Looking at these photographs, looking at their faces…these girls inspire me.

More photos to come!

Girls on the Run- Slideshow

Posted in charity, clients, commercial projects

Thinking back on the day of the GOTR 5K at the National Arboretum, I was a bit out of sorts. I was cold and wet and covered in mud, my camera had fogged up more time than I could count, my makeshift rain coat for my camera was toast, I had been yelled at by a few parents (guess I was in their way) in a nutshell I was GRUMPY. Typically, at the GOTR 5K, my adrenaline is pumping and the spirit of the girls and what they are doing erases what minor discomforts or technical difficulties I may have. So it was a blessing that I had to put this shoot away for a few days to focus on other things. I needed to step away and come back to it with a fresh set of eyes.

A week later as I sat at my computer and poured over the photos one by one, I saw what I knew was there. I just had to look. I saw that spark, that thing that I find so inspiring and amazing.

Depending on your internet connection it might take a moment to fully load (check the progress bar on the lower right), so just be patient. Otherwise click on this link http://www.emilyweissphotography.com/webshow/GOTR4/

Therese - I just wanted to tell you that I thought the pictures were wonderful. I came across this as I was checking out the program for my own daughter. It brought tears to my eyes, just watching the young women and imagining my daughter completing such an event for herself. My daughter heard the music playing as I was watching the slideshow and she says “I want a picture with me running.” So now I guess, we will be there at the next GOTR event. Thank you for the images.

Kathy Horan - I found myself giggling loudly as I watched this slideshow…the joy of completing something that is really challenging…you captured it beautifully.

Thank you…despite the challenges of logistics etc…this makes me willing to take it on again next year!

Paige - Awesome images Emily!

Girls on the Run – Rainy Day Fun

Posted in charity, commercial projects

It was a wet, cold and rainy Sunday morning but it did not dampen the spirits of the girls who came out to run off their excess candy consumption for the Girls on the Run-DC 5K! This was a first for me shooting in the pouring rain. Thank goodness the great folks at Canon make a camera that can withstand the elements.

As always this is such a great event and the enthusiasm and supports is what helps propel the girls to the finish line. Here a a few of my favorites

Race day prints will be ready on (or before) Novemner 11 and can be purchased at http://www.digiproofs.com/GOTR1109/ Password GOTR.

Girls on the Run – Slideshow and Prints!!

Posted in charity, commercial projects

While shooting this event I often have to remind myself to keep shooting and stop cheering. Because every images of every girl is a story in itself. These girls work so hard all year to finish a 5K. It is is extraordinary thing. I am so proud I get to help them tell their story.

So here it is the slideshow!! Always my favorite and the hardest part of capturing this event. It is never easy to edit down over 600 photographs to the best 170 plus.

Be patient: depending on your internet connection it might stop and start. But just give it a minute. It should load and play all the way through. If that does not work, stop the show, wait for the big grey bar at the bottom (between the controls) to fill up, then start from the beginning. And if that still does not do it for you, email me and I will send you another link to try. Technology is awesome, when it decides to work

Don’t forget PRINTS! If you did not see yourself, your child, or your friend in the show check out all the race day photographs at our online print house at:

There many, many more photos of this event to see!
