Aspen Santa Fe Ballet

May 7, 2009

So I’m the official shooter for the Augusta Ballet in town. www.augustaballet.org I mainly cover the people around the events, and not the events themself, usually a copyright issue is involved, or the lighting is too dim etc. Well I said to hell with that last night since the lady said “No flash photography”. Game on. No flash, no problem.

The last set involved black lights and full bodysuits. There was also a screen in front of the stage that projected different scenes like the moon, sun, and other weird junk. It was a super cool performance though, and I actually stayed awake.

I am obviously by no means a professional ballet aficionado, but to see that kind of entertainment and art locally was truly something worth seeing. 

Just another FYI: I will be out of town starting tomorrow and will not be back in town until the 17th. I’m going on a family vacation to Alaska!

Tap Into Potential

June 30, 2008

One of the events to cover for the Augusta Ballet was this past weekend, “Tap Into Potential”. It was held at the Warren Road Community Center and was a real treat to watch the kids kick back, up, left and right. They conveniently watched the film Happy Feet. Ironically the kids looked like they were on an ice rink and not a tap dance floor. Those shoes are awfully slick.
