Behind The Scenes: "Book Club Play" Photoshoot
so that was the shoot. so far, i've only seen this on Arena Stage's homepage...
and this on a page specific to the play...
as well as a couple of smaller ads on the sidebar of web-sites like dc theatre scene, etc., but i hope to see more out there! and hopefully some of you can get out there to see the show, it looks like it'll be pretty funny!

Work in Progress
today, i had the pleasure of shooting with Arena Stage! my assignment was to create some pre-production photos for one of their upcoming plays, "The Book Club Play". Karen ZacarÃas is the playwright behind this comedy about a book club that gets turned upside down when a newcomer joins and causes things to heat up. the play centers around a woman named Ana (Kate Eastwood Norris) who lives in a perfect world and hosts a bi-weekly book club meeting in her living room. members include Ana's husband Rob (Eric Messner), Rob's friend and Ana's ex-boyfriend Will (Tom Story), Ana's friend Jen (Ashlie Atkinson), Ana's prot´g´at work Lilly (Rachel Holmes), and a new guy named Alex (Fred Aresnault). definitely sounds like a recipe for disaster to me! here's a preview of some of the images from today...
i hope i get the chance to catch one of these performances (from october 7th to november 6th in the Mead Center's Kogod Cradle) and i can't wait to see what they do with the photos!

Sneak Peek: Mitch and Karen's Wedding
i've known mitch and karen for a few years now, and i've done several performances and shows with their kids over the years as well. based on that, it was not only a privilege to be a guest at their wedding, but i was also privileged with being able to shoot their big day! here's a preview!
the ceremony was really simple and elegant. a lot of music, which makes perfect sense with the merging to two very musical families. if i'm not mistaken, mitch actually wrote some (or all?) of the music himself. the reception was also very classy and elegant and it was definitely a great party!
i'd like to congratulate karen and mitch on their marriage and i wish them both a wonderful life together!

Oh Shenandoah...
i long to see you... or so the song goes. sometimes it's nice to just go out and shoot some photos just for yourself. no assignments, no incentives. just pure enjoyment. this past saturday i had the pleasure of attending a wedding out in luray, virginia where i stumbled upon some of the most beautiful scenery i have seen in a really long time. or at least since i've been able to use a camera to capture it the way the world deserves to be seen. it reminded me of how much i miss going camping, and the time i went to nova scotia for a family reunion. i may enjoy city life today, but i can assure you i will eventually be hanging my hat in the country!
these photos were taken in the shenandoah valley in virginia. beautiful, highly-recommended place to shoot some landscapes! and also not that far from dc, took my friend and i an hour and a half to get there. park admission is only 3$ and you can always find a neat place to eat or an art gallery in luray while you're there!

Just an Update
finally got a facebook fanpage... and anyone who reads this should probably become a fan...
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sbimagery/249241315088517
it's not really up-and-running as much as i want it to yet, but i need a much bigger fan-base before i can really start doing anything anyways. so tell your friends to become fans also :-)
in other news, i am very excited to be shooting the wedding of two friends on mine this saturday. Karen and Mitch have known each other for a very long time and are tying the knot this saturday at the open gate church in waldorf, md. i've worked with Mitch several times as a music director and accompanist for some of the shows i've done and met Karen through being around the family. i can assure you that the ceremony will be beautiful and that the reception will be a complete blast, and i cannot wait to share the photos here.
