We attended ACMA’s Root performance, which featured student choreography including our neighbor Annabelle as a soon-to-be graduating senior. It was beautiful to see creative and artistic movement from the minds and hearts of students.
I personally enjoyed the “hair-ography” in a piece that Annabelle choreographed with two other dancers and the use of the giant screen and lighting to set the mood of several pieces.
I’ve put this off for too long and we made fun progress through the 147 miniatures we own for Marvel United. For this batch, I worked on finishing the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, but also anti-heroes and villains for gameplay variety.
We were delighted to photograph Steve and Pam’s 50th anniversary party–to see a marriage after many seasons of love instead of the beginning, like a wedding.
I’ve grown to appreciate the optimism and hope that Annie’s story brought to my Christmas season. While I was not impressed by the 1982 movie when we watched it for educational purposes, unsurprisingly, I’m fond of Lovegood‘s production.
Amazon’s expedited delivery is a blessing and a curse. Jenni got a wig delivered on Halloween morning so that I could be a KPop Demon Hunter Saja Boy (or should I say Saja Dad). Kadie used her tattoo markers and drew some of the demon marks on my neck.
Jenni tested 1920s-1930s makeup as an experiment for the upcoming Lovegood production of Annie where she plays in the band.
As for the kids, Kadie was a Chemistry teacher, Violet dressed as a character from her friend’s story, and Bruce was a hitman.
I visited the Vernier Vineyard to see its fields of gold, stay for golden hour, and learn from people with hearts of gold.
We were thrilled to have Heather reached out to us to photograph her wedding. We met from Lovegood Theatre Company during the production of Tuck Everlasting.
Their ceremony took place near the Rose Test Garden, in a private space aptly named “The Secret Garden”.
I’m surprised that I still get surprised that I enjoyed a Lovegood production more than I thought I would. My family didn’t have a positive initial impression of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, which I understand. However, the musical includes several fantastic song and dance numbers with humor and heart that aren’t wimpy at all.
My brother introduced Into the Woods to me seventeen years ago, but I only made it through act one of this wonderful play. I was not interested in theater in 2008, so sitting through the first half of the 1991 version on YouTube was enough for me. I was amused by the first half but I didn’t realize the second half was the payoff.
Christopher Marley’s Exquisite Creatures Revealed exhibit at OMSI was a miraculous display of the art in nature: colors, textures, and patterns of life on our planet. The new additions since our first experience with Marley were incredible.
