The current challenge for the photography site (http://photozo.com -- go and sign up and then vote for my picture :P) is portraits. I asked a new friend of mine to be my model (or is it my victim?). He agreed to do it so we met for lunch one day this past week and I took all of the pictures. It was a beautiful day which allowed us to take them outside. I had a guitar to use as a prop, figuring since this was really just for the photography challenge, nobody would ever know that he didn't really play the guitar. However, he shocked me. After I had the first picture all set up ready to go and handed him the guitar, before I could get back to my camera, he actually started playing the one I had handed him. He really plays the guitar! I knew his wife was a musician, but I never knew he was! I actually got a bunch of nice shots of him but this one was one that I took when he wasn't even aware that I was going to take it. He was engrossed in playing the guitar when I snapped the picture. I think it turned out really nicely and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of it.
Next, on a completely dif- ferent note, this week is the week for South Pacific. We had tech rehearsal on Saturday. I had to be there at 8 in the morning and I didn't get to leave until 4 in the afternoon. It went really well, but it was a very long day. I play Stewpot, one of the sailors. My daughter is in it with me...she plays one of the 2 kids that's in it. We also have dress rehearsal this Thursday and then performances on Friday and Saturday. I am really looking forward to it; we've been having a riot rehearsing. The best part of it though, is the people you end up meeting. I've really gotten to like spending time with the guy who is playing our Lt. Joe Cable and the woman who is playing our Nellie Forbush. They both are just fun people who like to laugh and have fun. The are also very easy to talk to. Besides them, one of my best friends from church is in it. It has been great to be able to hang out with him as much as I've been able to since he and I are almost always togehter in the scenes we're in (and I play one of his sidekicks). I'm ready for performance day to get here after all the work we've been doing on it. I know I'll be sad when the performance is over! The picture is of me (the one on the left) and one of the other guys I've gotten to know and enjoy while working on the production.
