GLEE Flash Mob 2012 • Seattle, WA

It's been a year since I photographed my first flash mob! This past weekend the 3rd annual GLEE Flash Mob occurred on a gorgeous sunny Saturday afternoon in Seattle. An estimated 850 dancers came together to perform the spectacular choreography by Beth Meberg and Jared Jones. A special thanks to Egan Orion for organizing everything and to Bobby Bonsey for starting this sensation with him 3 years ago. Spoiler alert... congratulations to Emily and Tim on their engagement!

The Blue trees at the Westlake Center, painted by Konstantin Dimopoulos to raise       awareness for the importance of trees, made for a neat backdrop at the Westlake performance.

The incredibly sweet proposal had me crying and most all of the spectators as well. 

So heartfelt!

As a little bonus, I wanted to share this video of Egan speaking at a TED talk about the history of flash mobs in Seattle. His contribution has made Seattle flash mobs so popular and he explains the importance of them in society as well. 

Very interesting and worth a watch!

GLEE Flash Mob • Seattle, WA • Official Photographer

I got to be an official photographer for one of the largest flash mobs to ever occur in Seattle recently, with 1300 dancers! Bobby Bonsey and Beth Mehberg did an awesome job choreographing this momentous event. Jalen Testerman (9yrs old!) the youngest "America's Best Dance Crew-Season 2" winner, break danced at the beginning! The GLEE flash mob performed in three locations on 4/11/11, the Seattle Center (just under the Space Needle), Westlake Park, and on the road by Cal Anderson Park in Capitol Hill.  I wouldn't mind making flash mob photography a regular occurrence in my life. So much fun! Here is the official video (focusing on the Westlake performance) along with some of my favorite shots from the day!
