Another Theater Preview

Rehearsal in the hallway
Emotional back lit moment
Waiting Backstage


Since classes started at UMW I have been shooting a lot of A&E and prep sports assignments on the late shift. Here are a few outtakes from my shoot.

Photo Essay: The Rock Show










I had an assignment to shoot a community rock concert. The evening started off slow, but as the tempo of the music increased so did my shooting. I enjoy the challenge of shooting in these kinds of light conditions. It really makes you work harder and I had to be more patient, as I look for the right combination of moment and light to release the shutter.

Kids and Politics

Kids and politics do not mix. When I took this picture I could hardly believe that a small group of parents would use their children as poster stands on a local Virginia street. I doubt these kids really have a clue on what or who Ron Paul really is.

Saturday Afternoon Trip









Petra and I went to the National Cathedral in D.C. on Saturday. After touring the Gothic hallways of this beauty church we made our way to Georgetown for Indian food and see the movie National Treasure. I had a great time. These pictures are some of the first non-work relate pictures I've made in a long time. I need to do more of this.

Late Night with Winnie the Pooh






At the end of a very long day, I was assigned to photograph a rehearsal of Winnie the Pooh at the local community theater. As I walk into the front entrance, I was busily trying to convince myself not to blow off this assignment, in order to go home to watch the Championship bowl game. I did not know what to expect and was not very excited about drawing this late assignment. When I finally walk into the theater, the first thing I saw was a bunch of little kids running around with bunny ears on. As you can imagine, I had very little hopes of this assignment turn out good pictures. In the end, I stayed for the whole rehearsal and work really hard to make a few images. Here are a few outtakes from my take.
