This was my first experience making rehearsal photographs in a theater.
For a decade, it was always, Magic!
Stage Struck

Early Christmas Arrival
A new copy of a book published in 2011, shipped from a Berkeley, California book store on Monday, arrived in North Carolina very early Wed. morning! Yes, it’s a present from me, to me.

Today’s Treasures #5
Another Kjazz 88.1 midnight discovery. The CD arrived today. S’ wonderful! Listening now – oh my! Lady could play!
My Favorite Things #3
I had no experience making photographs of a studio rehearsal. 14 Decembers later, this is still, vivid memory. It was an affirmation of joy without guile. An expression of, the best of us.
Today’s Treasures #4
An ad page from the April 1920 “The Ladies Home Journal”, 10.5 x 16 inches. Arrived today. My display is complete!
Not my photograph, the eBay reseller’s image. I can’t improve on this.
And yes, I’m going to make some photographs with the one I have. It may be awhile though – an upcoming 3rd Grade Christmas Choir Concert has priority. I’ll shoot that with some 100 year newer glass & digital camera. Stage lighting!
Parisian Dreams
There was and is, a “corner joint”, Le Bûcheron, just down the stairs and around the corner, from an apartment on Rue Ferdinand Duval, Paris.
Searching today, I discovered the Chocolate Shop next door is no more. Post dinner, it was a wonderful stop before late evening home.
The meals and memories, are delicious
Today’s Treasures #3
The Stylus on Kodak Autographic Cameras is almost always missing. Found this on eBay. Located in Spokane, Washington. Arrived today!
Not my photograph – I can’t improve on this.
Today’s Treasures #2
This Portrait, aka Close Up Attachment, fits my 1925 era No.2 Kodak Brownie Model F. Instead of a fixed focus distance of 8 ft. and beyond, it allows photographs at a distance of about a meter. Which suits a head and shoulders portrait.
Found it, the only one I could find, on eBay, in a vintage camera shop in the Netherlands. USPS, in cooperation with NL Post, delivered today. Original printed instructions, from 100 + years ago were in the tiny box. In French. No problem!
My Favorite Things #2
Listening to KJazz 88.1 this evening, José Rizo played a wonderful recording of “My Favorite Things” by Laili Biali. And in the luxury of my new found peace and contentment, thought about things that I treasure. That’s what this will be about.
