theatre kapow's "How I Learned to Drive"

theatre kapow's latest production, How I Learned to Drive--previewed earlier--will be performed this weekend. As usual, it has high dramatic and production values and showcases some new actors (to this company, at least). Learn more about it and, better yet, attend a show.

A photographic note: I usually will balance the color of the light to be the same throughout a show; here, though, most of the stage lighting was quite warm, except for a few scenes. I've decided to retain the original qualities of color as much as possible (eg, the red table scenes).

I spent Sunday evening working with friends (aka theatre kapow) on their next production, How I Learned to Drive. Besides setting up a studio for individual headshots, a cast photo, and some photos that will be displayed during the actual show (and so can't be posted yet), I photographed some scenes for promotional use (including for an upcoming issue of The Hippo). Nothing is established for the stage yet (including set, props, and lighting), so we created our own with two 500W hot lights I brought. I've only seen bits, but this will prove to be a powerful experience for the audience.







Jamie + Jim's wedding, part 4

We knew that post-ceremony outdoor light would be quickly waning, and that the temperatures would be quite cold, but we ventured out anyway, moving as much as possible while photographing. Jessica held a wireless flash off-camera for some of them, which became increasingly necessary as the sunlight faded.






Jamie + Jim's wedding, part 3

As a graduate of Saint Anselm, Jamie married Jim in the Abbey Church. What was unique, though, was that the ceremony was held in back part of church, in the choir stalls. This is where daily Mass and the Divine Office is said, and photographically it is almost an entirely different church: it's intimate, has stronger lines, and the background is the large (and thus bright) stained glass windows.
