It's been a very busy time around here. As I mentioned on my other blog; I got my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer. It finally became available and was delivered on Monday. It's definitely a lot different getting photos ready to be printed than it is to put them on the web. I am learning quickly how to configure everything and how to manage the color for printing. I've done several large jobs already and I'm pleased with the results for most of them. I have some large prints done and ready for framing which will be my next challenge.

I am still working even though it's almost 11 pm, but I thought it might be a good idea to post up a photo so you guys don't forget about me. I'm sorry I haven't been around as much the past few days but I will get around to visiting tomorrow...I hope.

This is from the archives. It is the sophisticated lighting system that they used in a dining tent at a great little country fair that we went to last summer...Oh how I wish it was summer again. We are in the throws of an Arctic Blast and it's taking its toll...BRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Some of you may know that I am affiliated with a few local orchestras. Some of them I am involved with through my kids as well as working with them as a Music Librarian. I've also recently taken on the "job" of being their resident photographer this past year. I really enjoy working with the musicians they are truly wonderful, friendly, talented people.

Last night was the first of 2 winter concerts for one of these groups. The New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra www.njio.org is a group of talented musicians of all ages ranging from the very young to the very young at heart. They have 3 levels of orchestras to challenge the fairly new musician to the more experienced, more advanced players. Many of the musicians choose to participate in all 3 groups just because they love to play and enjoy the camaraderie.

This is a shot I took from the lighting/sound booth just before the concert began. I will not likely be posting photos here of members since many are children and I've not obtained permission, so I will leave that up to the orchestra itself to decide which, if any, they would like to use on their web-site since they have the proper releases. I was pleased to see that my member photos were included in the program as well as in a fund raising campaign presentation. It made me smile.

I found this building on a drive last weekend. I had parked behind it so I could take some pictures of an old abandoned mill on the opposite side of the street. It didn't look like much when I first looked at it. It was a mostly overcast afternoon with peaks of sun from time to time. When I returned to my car to leave, I noticed the late afternoon sun hitting the side of the building and the shadows really caught my eye. It looked as though repairs had been started on the building and then perhaps abandoned.

I am still trying to get my archives up and running again. Despite trying all sorts of different fixes, I still have no idea what is going on with them and Blogger has yet to respond to my numerous requests for help. I am among a number of other Bloggers who have been suffering through this issue for several weeks and some for several months now. In the meantime it is what it is, and I am sorry for any inconvenience it may cause. To view earlier work you can still click on the current photo and it will take you to the previous one.

This is the young man who was responsible for the stage lights during the concert where I took this photo of Jon. He was high up on a ladder busily repairing a set of lights in preparation for the evenings performance. I know this photo is dark, but that darkness somehow seemed to lend an sense of the urgency to the situation. I could have shot it with the flash but chose not to. (I also didn't want to scare him off of the ladder, he was up pretty high.)
