Nutcracker Statues randomly scattered in Seattle...

Seattle, WA

December 2006

There is a slight family resemblance between this nice old guy and the Nutcracker behind him. He is cranking a "Drehorgel", a German hand-powered organ that uses a paper roll of music.

I know some people collect Nutcrackers and decorate with them for the holidays, I'm not one of them, but some of these were interesting (and pricey!). There was even one like Uncle Sam in red, white and blue. Who knew that nutcrackers can even be made into lamps? :-)

Today was showtime for "The Nutcracker For Kids by Kids" presented by the Southern Rhode Island Youth Ballet & Dance For Art Inc. Zoe's first show, we were so proud!

There was a pig with this same idea, but I think it works better here. The nutcracker shapes lends itself to more geometric designs, I think.

Over the break between semesters, I'm going through the exposures I've made this year and last, with an eye towards doing some serious weeding. As I do so, I'm also trying to identify some of the better images I've captured. As I do so, I'll add them to my stream.

 

I don't remember taking this exposure. From the date, I must have been bored some Thursday evening in January, and when I get bored, I start playing with my camera. Discovering this image a year late, what leapt out at me was the nice hexagon bokeh in the background. And well, yeah, the nutcracker's cute, too.

 

Shot with my Nikon D600 and my Nikon AF-D 50mm f/1.8 lens - which is a very nice little lens, and very affordable.

My mom has a collection of nutcrackers she brings out each Christmas. This was taken in New York in 2006 with my Nikon D100 camera.

The announcer said Flash photography and led screens were prohibited.

At intermission I remembered that my Cam has stage mode. So I turned off the flash and the led screen.... looked through the viewer and shot away. I didnt get a lot of great shots because the movement was so fast AND I didnt know what to expect having never seen the Nutcracker. I LOVED IT

 

I think I loved the first act with the party and easy to follow story the best. The rest was just absolutely beautiful fantasy.

Pretty much what it says.

The town of Steubenville, Ohio, USA has over 200 life-sized nutcrackers on display each Christmas season.

Just image what these Nutcracker characters are saying to each other in the window at Bombay on South Granville!

Da stehen sie in Holzregalen

im Schulterschlusse dicht gedrängt,

in hohen Stiefeln, in Sandalen,

und meist mit Rauschebart behängt.

 

Ob Hellebarde, Schwert, ob Kerze,

die Hände zeigen sich nicht leer.

So hält der Römer die Sesterze,

den Schlauch der Mann der Feuerwehr.

 

Die Köpfe tragen Kronen, Helme

auch Zipfelmützen lieben sie,

Sie können beißen, diese Schelme,

ein Hebel führt dabei Regie.

 

In farbenfrohen Uniformen

beenden sie nach Rang und Stand

mit Kiefern jenseits aller Normen

der harten Nüsse Widerstand.
