toddpage and i went to the huntington theatre to see their new show, how shakespeare won the west. beforehand, we ate at a tasty little resto next door, betty's wok & noodle. while there the camera came out and i made a few images (including this one, seen in my friends set on flickr). as we were finishing up, an english couple of certain ages came in to vet the menu. the absence of meaningful fish dishes led them to leave, but while they were with us i wanted to get a shot of the man (his wife's back was always to me and she had nothing to say; he was plenty chatty for both, as our waitress discovered). initially, i was using todd as a beard, but i soon realized that he and the waitress made for much more interesting images.

the show at the huntington? well-acted, nice sets, terrible book. the whole spectacle was saved by juliet's unique interaction with romeo, and even that was almost obliterated by the giant horse.

"well-acted, nice sets, terrible book. the whole spectacle was saved by juliet's unique interaction with romeo, and even that was almost obliterated by the giant horse."
HAHA. Never better said.
Also, I love yesterdays photo [and the day before also, but yesterdays is especially long-exposure-tastic]

Date: 2008-09-12 03:47 pm (UTC)by yesterday i assume you mean the tent. it captivated me, and i spent at least five minutes trying to find the image i wanted. i pat myself on the back for these low-light images with which i have a crappy camera and no tripod. if nothing else, i'm learning how to stand very still (good for hunting wabbits, too!).

Date: 2008-09-12 04:09 pm (UTC)Haha, s'true, but there is no issue there, really.
I do indeed. I pat yourself on the back too, and they look lovely.
Standing still is something that you get used to in this field, I've noticed.

and even if i didn't find you attractive, i make images all the time of people and places i don't find attractive, but which are compelling and speak to me. conventionally beautiful or not, a person or place which grabs me gets the full treatment.
that said, i don't think ugly will be in my reading of you.
