The awkward girl gets a letter from the cute guy...
...who turns out to be a jerk, and--after much general angst and some awesome, emotional musical numbers--the nice, compassionate guy wins the day by standing up for the girl at the end. :)
I shot photos at our local high school's dress rehearsal for the musical "Back to the 80s" last night. (lots of great music and nostalgia there, by the way.) To my own surprise, I contacted the school drama instructor yesterday morning and asked if I could take photos at the dress rehearsal so that I could move freely about the auditorium and get shots to submit to our little local town magazine. She was very excited about the idea! I got many shots and edited a few this morning that the students are enjoying sharing on their Insta accounts to promote the show (I watermarked the ones I shared with them, and even that is new and seems very bold to me)... even while battling those awful, glaring, straight-down-on-their-faces stage lights. I'm getting used to them with all the Show Choir photos I like to take (many of those to come during show choir competition season for my 17-year-old son, starting next month). But, I still have that imposter complex and wonder who on earth I think I am calling someone and saying that I am a photographer! I wonder when/if that will end? I look forward to seeing if that imposter complex does end at some point, as I continue studying and learning and practicing.
Anyway, it was a great show, and I am so glad the students are excited about the photos! I chose an emotional song from the second act for my 11/365. :)
