If They Could See Me Now …

I headed north to Elkton to help Cecil county photographer Scott Serio photograph the dress rehearsal for the Cecil Dancenter’s 2010 Recital.
Because of all the colorful lights used during the performances, flash or strobes is a huge no-no if you want to capture the mood of the performance. I used my Canon 5D Mark II and 70-200 f/2.8L lens. I shot at ISO 3200 and set my white balance to tungsten. Below are the results.

*auditions for tamborine player to be announced soon.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra last night had an after-show party to honor two orchestra members — Ed Patey and Ed Hoffman — who have retired from the orchestra.
The members of the Orchestra, the Symphony Society, Governing members and other VIPs were invited to attend. A good time was had by all.
Ed Patey holds a poster announcing what he and Ed Hoffman (right) plan to do now that they have retired from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Story by the Baltimore Sun: BSO’s ‘Mass’ CD has electric appeal
Sure, this is a shameless pat on the back (to myself), but hey, sometimes we’ve got to toot our own horn every once in while.
The new CD of Bernstein’s Mass, which was performed and recorded here in Baltimore at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall last October, features as the CD cover, one of my photographs. I wonder if Jubilant Sykes, the performer featured in the photo, had his hand in choosing the image to use. I say this because Jubilant called me from his California home shortly after this performance and ordered a large photograph of this same image to display in his home. Whatever the reason, I think they made a wise choice.
Just for grins, here is what the original image looked like.
You can see more images from that performance here: Bernstein’s Mass

Saturday night, the Marin Alsop and the BSO performed an “Off the Cuff” series on Brahms. It’s a combination conversation on the featured composer and concert.
