Evita Poster


I have been pretty bad about updating my blog. I have been swamped with several projects that I have undertaken to keep me busy and creative while being unemployed.

The best thing I have been doing is to take photos of the Juneau-Douglas High School production of the musical "Evita." The first time I was in London was in July of 1978. I was on a $8-dollar-a-day budget for my trip. I was wondering around the West End and I lucked into tickets to see "Evita" just a few weeks into its original run. The front-row-seat cost me about $50. I suspect that was the night I fell in love with Argentina.

Today I set up my studio at Juneau-Douglas High school and gave just a few technical directions for my photo intern Hannah Bibb. Then Hannah took all the photos of Shanae'a Moore who is playing the title role of Evita. It is fun to see the play slowly come together and to see the quick progress of my student Hannah.
