I know that quite a few of the photos from my sites make their way around to Facebook, MySpace and other places and I’m generally ok with that if you credit where they are from or at least leave the watermarks intact as the copyright/terms of use/creative commons license say.  The site is targeted to parents and alumni as much as they are current students as well.  Given that there was a reasonable amount of light and I was using I was able to target individuals for features.  Some of these may be submitted for the high school yearbook later on, some of these will be posted on Facebook by myself or others, but hopefully you just enjoy being featured.  There’s no real reason as to who get’s featured, even though I did favor the guard more during this show as it is harder to capture the work in darker stadiums.  Being closer to the 50 and the fact that I am generally outside the 40s aiming in might have something to do with what sets are in there, but it’s whatever looks good at the moment.  I am not always able to judge or screen for technical accuracy, but I do try to make an effort when it’s only one person, so if there is something that’s really off and noticeable I’ll take it down.

For those who are willing to sign a model release and allow me to use the featured photos in my portfolio as I try to book more projects or enter them into contests, I’ll give you a free copy of the print.  For those who don’t want to be photographed individually, I can’t make any promises for formation, section or group photos but I’ll keep you out of anything on an individual level.  Just let me know.

If you have any comments on the photos, drop me a note, I’m always interested in feedback.  I accept requests throughout the season for band, indoor guard, musical, art/scenery/landscapes/places for my personal galleries so tell me what you are interested in seeing.  While you’re at it, take a minute to become a fan of Susquehanna Township Performing Arts on Facebook.  The address is http://www.facebook.com/STPerformingArts/.

I invite everyone to become a fan of Susquehanna Township Performing Arts on Facebook by visiting http://www.facebook.com/STPerformingArts/.  I regularly post updates on what’s going on, new content, offers and opportunities.  I’m also syndicating the Facebook posts to my professional twitter at http://twitter.com/nrsmedia/ and importing them here periodically as well.

If there is anything you would like to see this year, please come find me or drop me a line.  Thanks and have a great year.

Some of the other additions this weekend: I finally went through and processed all of the 2008 season videos that were given to me many months ago by Dave Miller along with the 2008 video from the top of Chambersburg’s stadium.  The quality may not be the best because I propped the camera on something instead of shooting with a tripod.

I’ve released the Susquehanna Township Performing Arts page on Facebook, so check it out and let me know what you would like posted and what you would like to see from me this year.  I encourage everyone to invite and tag your friends, and I will do my best to upload and tag something for all of the students and alumni if I have something in my collection.

Musical… I will make it a point to be at a few dress rehearsals and I may get to do construction for at least one weekend anyway. As far as the show goes, I have a Buccaneers camp on that Sunday but I should be there Friday and Saturday. If you are not familiar with Sweeney Todd and are too poor or too busy to get to a theatre (like me), Comcast has the 1997 version in their free movies on demand. It’s not a musical and it’s not Johnny Depp but it’s enough to get the point across.

I’m sorry I haven’t been spending as much time on the sites as I should be. I’m preparing to deploy an upgraded server which will help improve the services I’m offering and also allow me to use it as a terminal server where I can access some important tools to make changes to the sites and work on photos from remote locations if I’m not at home or don’t have all the data on my laptop. I don’t make a profit from this and I enjoy what I do, I’m just getting killed with the cost of travel (imagine how bad it would be if I owned a truck or sports car!). If you like what I’m doing I encourage you to buy photos, memory books or other gifts as they help cover my expenses and I also donate a portion to the music boosters. Yes, I’ll even accept lottery tickets, and if I hit the big one my first goal is 4 new marching tubas

Hopefully I’ll have some new content soon. Comments, suggestions, requests and submissions always accepted. I also could use the services of a graphic designer or web designer so contact me if you have any leads on that

If someone could send me a copy of the summer band schedule I would appreciate it. Other than that, I’ll be at the jazz band concert tomorrow night but can’t make Arts Fest on Saturday. Videos would be appreciated. More at a later date.

Anyone who wants to make a weekend trip to NY I’m sure they would appreciate the support of techs, performers and theatre fans alike.
