Yes... it's true. Buffalo and all of the Western New York region really is beautiful... especially between June and November.. magnificent sunsets, wonderful hiking and gorgeous landscapes as the trees prepare for winter (which look like big bowls of fruit loops from a hot air balloon 
.
Thought I'd join the crowd and introduce m'self too!
My name is Rob, "Red Rob" on some networks like Tribe and here, and I first got involved with Belly Dance indirectly when my wife began dancing 8 or 9 years ago, and then became more directly involved when I had a most incredible dream (a preminition perhaps?) that manifested me onto the stage performing with Folkloric Productions. Through that dream I befriended an amazingly talented and beautiful dancer named Kassia who asked me to do a 2-camera video recording of one of her Haflas...
... and so it went. Ever since then I've been creating multi-camera video/DVD productions for Belly Dancers and other live theatre events (musicals, bands, etc) using from 3 to 6 cameras.
Although I remain humble, I'm told I'm good at what I do (and that there are lots of bad videographers out there), and am slowly making strides in showing producers that they can have beautiful multi-camera work done of dancers without compromising choreography or botching up the spirit of the dance (the myth is that only a single "camera-on-a-stick in the back of the room" can get it right).
Anyhow... since I'm involved with the BD community via friends old and new, and my videography work, and just discovered this wonderful forum, I thought I'd sign up and say "Hi!".
So... here it is...
Hi!
Cheers,
Rob
PS I've been uploading (with permission) some of the videos I've done of dancers (many of these are only one-cam though) to YouTube... if anyone is interested, here's a link to the playlist:
