My World: Cabaret Random

I had the privilege to photograph the final dress rehearsal of the performance from the local college Performing Arts class yesterday.
What a show! It was hard to concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing with so much talent throwing itself around. It warms my heart to know that the performing arts is in such good hands; teachers and students.
Here are a few shots. You should have been there.

Tom,

Great job but far more difficult than photographing flowers or oneself, LOL

It never ceases to amaze me how many folk are far more talented that I am. Yet in photographing performances like this, one still gets a tad of a special thrill for being associated with all the glee and enthusiasm of these capable performers.

You have hooked on to a great past time. watch out as it's addictive!

During the rehearsal I was allowed on stage and able to penetrate the activity. The artists were very tolerant and accomodating. At some stages I felt I was part of the act. You have to realise I'm almost 4 times their age. By the time I was finished I had to have a good lay down. They went for food and did a full performance in front of a packed house that very evening. Oh, to be that young again.
I haven't done a lot of this sort of work and I was a lot younger when I did. It was incredibly uplifting, challenging, and a good lesson learnt on the run. I could very well become addicted to it if just for the performance alone. They loved the photos and want me back again. That was nice. I hope they wait until I'm out of traction.
Cheers
Tom
