STHS Performing Arts

I just uploaded my latest photo project a couple days ago and it’s on my personal site. It’s possible that you’ve seen articles in the paper around Christmas about General George Washington’s invasion of Trenton on Christmas Day. Well, they reenact his crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas day, and I’ve photographed it for the last two years.

This year I was given a press pass so I could get up close, and having the new Canon Digital Rebel XT was helpful as well. Some of my photos from last year are already on their website at http://www.ushistory.org/washingtoncrossing/. Since they crossed this year, they will be using more of my photos on the website and for PR purposes.

Photos are at http://www.nrs2.org/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album202

For the 3rd year in a row, I will also be putting together a selection of marching band pictures for the yearbook. I’m sure that after they see my musical photos they’ll want to use some of those shots as well. It happens. Musical photos will be posted at www.sthsmusical.org. Buy your tickets now, and buy photos of your friends, buy the “formal” cast photo if you’re in the cast, stage crew photos if you’re in crew. I’m finalizing the pricing and details now. Money from the photo sales go to cover my expenses in operating the sites, and a portion of the profits will be donated to the music boosters. Buy a band photo and money goes to the band. Buy musical photos and money goes for improvements to the stage.

I’ll be posting some stage crew photos as it comes closer to tech rehearsal time, and I will probably post at least one set of dress rehearsal photos too. It’s a dress rehearsal for me too so I can become familar with the show, figure out the key shots for different scenes and the special effects, as well as making sure I get all the equipment setup properly. Photo requests are being accepted now.

It’s also very likely that I will need a few people at the musical to handle order processing and help people navigate the collections and keep an eye on things while I am setting up before the show, and during intermission and after the show until I am able to stow the hardware and get back to the table. Cast and crew members won’t be able to do this, but anyone else would be appreciated. The pay is a free ticket for the show, maybe more if sales are good.

Oh, if you’re feeling generous and want to Paypal me a couple bucks, that would be appreciated too.
