For World of Dance, Houston, I decided I wanted to dance and vibe to a R&B song from the early 2000's. The song is called “Missyou” by Musiq Soul Child.
Hotel Room Challenge 02 | Springhill Suites Marriott Houson
I couldn’t properly capture the size of this hotel because I only brought photography equipment suitable for close up self portraits, but it was big. So big that I felt i disrespected it by not having some crazy hotel room party. Like it was disappointing in me for not having used it for what it was meant for, I denied the room’s destiny by being a lame hotel room guest.
Also, as it happens the day I did this, it was pouring 90 degrees and 90% humidity RAIN. Hot hot wet rain. So I had to get real creative with the light situation. The best shot here is probably in the bathroom for which they had spectacular lighting.

Hotel Room Challenge 01 | Hilton Atlanta
Traveling as part of my work is a blessing and recently I’ve been traveling a great deal for the World of Dance Competition. I don’t have a lot of time at each stop to search around for locations to photograph and often I only have some free time the morning of the event in the hotel room . So to full take advantage of these trips and as a photography challenge to myself, I decided to try to create quick self portraits in these rooms and maximize whatever is provided in the rooms.
First stop: Hilton Atlanta
World of Dance Atlanta 2018 | Dance Performance
Last weekend, I freestyled to "Let Me Blow Your Mind" by Eve and Gwen Stefani for the World Of Dance Atlanta 2018. This is such a throwback 90's hip hop song. I've loved this song for so long and have never taught class, taken dance class, choreographed, nor performed it and this seemed like a good opportunity to showcase this song and my love for it to an audience and demographic that might not know it. A couple of dancers came up to me afterwards needing to know the name of this song.
My work here is done.
Maybe I should do a bunch of songs that I've loved but never have performed to. I have a couple more World of Dance Showcases and this seems like a pretty good opportunity to share music from another era that are amazing but doesn't really make the rotations in current playlists. Anyone got any suggestions?
