choir of the sound

volunteering during concert weekends for the Choir of the Sound has become a little tradition for me, and a great opportunity to spend some quality time with my mom, who sings 2nd soprano in the choir. usually, i "call the show" for the video crew. this job itself is for only one of the shows, but because i have to know exactly who will be where and when, it means watching the dress rehearsal and earlier shows, and taking some very good notes.

this last weekend, i had another opportunity. the choir was in need of photos for promotional use, and my mom readily volunteered me. friday night, i spent the entire dress rehearsal photographing the choir, soloists, sets & props, and dancers. i shot 3 full gigabytes of memory, knowing that the more i shot, the better my chances were of having tons that i loved. i'm about 50% done with the proofing, and i can honestly say i'm thrilled with the results. here's a handful of my favorites:

{i was so pleased with the photos of maria, the ballerina that danced during the choir's performance of "O Nata Lux". she dances so beautifully, and seeing the photos the next day brought back the same feeling i had when i saw her perform.}
