Photo Hunter: Painted

It's odd, but my mind went first to performers who wore heavy, "painted" makeup. I was going to flip through my banquet pictures to find someone who went a little extreme on the make up, then I remember that we completely painted our moon character in blue makeup. Here he is as he is being painted.

The spirits also had pretty extraordinary makeup, so here are our painted woodland creatures under stage lights.

Honey, I'm Home!

I am back. Finals are all officially over, I have pulled my last working all-nighter until August (who knows if any midnight premeires may come up), and I started reading one of my books for fun. Summer is here! I don't have a lot to say since my thoughts are still scattered all over the place, but I have a few projects like organizing the 500+ Blood Wedding pictures I have into a presentable form for other people and finishing up the Flat Stanley project for the nephew. I am also working on my website for my portfolio...it's slow going though. So, here are some teasers of what should be coming in the next few weeks. By the way, I'm living with the very gracious brother and sister-in-law this summer, so I'll be relocating next week. Thanks for letting me run away! I promise to fill in the gaps soon.

Photo Hunter: Walking

I have now been to a couple of countries where they drive on the left side of the road. This wasn't as confusing as I expected in the form of motor transportion, largely because I never drove. However, as a pedestrian I lost all confidence in my ability to cross a street because I learned how instinctive it is to look over a particular shoulder first and how impossible it is to consciously change how I view things. That is why I greatly appreciated these instructions when walking in Hong Kong, especially with the arrow:

Photo Hunter: Protect(ion)

This is another one of those words that didn't immediately bring anything to mind. However, I was able to locate some enjoyable ones.

First, please buckle up for your own protect(ion).

The next takes us back to my freshman year again. My roommate and I were very fortunate to have befriended our neighbor that offered us her mad ninja skills for our protect(ion).

Finally, the classic example of the measures in place to ensure the public's protect(ion): informative signage.

Oh Hi There!

Hey, friendly readers. I'm just

(touching base...haha). This is a picture of my life currently:

(in the strictly metaphorically sense of course). I'm of course lovin' every minute of it. This is tech week which begins the most exhilirating part of a show for me and our first performance is next Tuesday. Whew! What a thrill!

Photo Hunter: Purple

Following the theatre banquet fall of my freshman year, my friend Kara and I were invited to a cookie decorating party hosted by someone we knew outside the department. We arrived a little late and all dolled up, but enjoyed making use of what was left over. Kara asked for an apron, since it is an essential part of all baking tasks and was presented with this purple patchwork apron. Right before taking this picture to show off her masterpieces, Kara proudly declared, "Eat your heart out, Betty Crocker!"

Photo Hunter: Triangle

Actors are often told to form triangles to make interesting stage pictures while allowing their faces to be seen. Therefore, my rehearsal folder seemed a logical place to begin my search for triangles. This is a picture from Blood Wedding of the wood spirits on the ladder that the character of the Moon will stand on. This is from our first blocking rehearsal for this scene, the spirits testing the limits and playing with the triangle moon unit.
