UPDATE:Here’s the YouTube video made from my shots…
I just finished chronicling the work of Theater of the Seventh Sister Associate Artistic Director, Lydia Brubaker during her annual Shakespeare Camp at F&M. Every summer Lydia directs a group of young men and women (from ages 13-18) through an intensive theater workshop that produces one Shakespeare play. This year’s offering was The Taming of the Shrew.
One of the most interesting parts of the workshop, at least for me, was the gender distribution of the students and how that affected the play. The students, some dozen or more young women and three young men, because of the make to female ratio, all played cross-gender roles. Put simply, all the guys played women on stage and woman played the male roles. So not only were they learning and working with the process of acting but they had the double hurdle of playing against their own gender. In a time of life when we all formed our adult identities, these students were not only working it out in real life but on stage.
I can’t say how impressed I was with the group’s passion, involvement and their performances. It’s simply amazing to watch Lydia work with the campers and them work for her. The students (and Lydia) do everything from working the theater itself to costuming their roles. I saw the final dress rehearsal today and I thought they did an admirable job with the play. It was very entertaining.
Below you find a few samples from today’s dress rehearsal and you can view the other images I shot throughout the workshop at the links below.
New things to do
3 years ago
Right now, before you even scroll down, click on this link and buy tickets to the Ghostlight Theater Company’s production of “City of Angels”. I’ve been lucky enough to sneak into a few of the rhersals and catch some quick snaps and the show is great. Lancaster could use an alternative theater and this first Tony Award winning musical from Ghostlight portends great things.
For now, enjoy a few images (click here and here to see my complete rehearsal shot galleries) from the rehearsals but do pick up some tickets for “City of Angel’s” running all this month and early August.

I’ve been so busy working

I haven’t spent any time here talking about it.
So, starting from right after the Sertoma BBQ, here is quick wrap up of the last two weeks.
If you click on the link in the intro to each image, you can view the entire gallery from which that image came.
One shot from the 27th Annual Fiesta (a fantastic party by the way).
Ricky Calderon, owner of Club Rumbha was kind enough to invites me in to shoot some images for a project for the City. Club Rumbha is a great little club and if you want to do some Salsa, it’s the place. From what I understand, Ricky even offers to teach beginners some steps.
I just started a new project for JSID focused on one Northeastern Lancaster neighborhood. There’ll be a lot more in this set soon.
Velaska Jewelry is a new client and I’m working on a bunch of different things for owner, Kathryn Pearce. These are just some initial tests. We’re working on defining a style and then I’ll be shooting a good representation of her many designs.
I managed to wake up early enough to catch some shots at this year’s Red Rose Run.
Last Saturday’s 300 North Queen Street Block Party was fun. Here’s one of my favorite shots.
One of my favorite things about Lancaster is the Lancaster Police Mounted Patrol. I’ve been lucky to befriend two of the officers and they’re always good for a great shot when they are out on duty. I stopped by the paddock a few days ago to see what’s new and check on one of the horses, Zeke (below) who has literally come back from death’s door and is now back on duty with Officer Wayne McVey. We’re all really glad Zeke and Officer McVey are back to work.
Most recently, as part of that new JSID project I mentioned above I got to shoot inside Grace Lutheran Church. It’s a beautiful church. Here are just a few of the great images I managed grab in a mere half hour inside.
Changes
3 years ago
The rain finally stopped.
The weather has changed the routine a bit from last year. If the weather had been more cooperative earlier Friday evening I would have had something to post. But, given the steady rain we had a lot of the tasks that normally take place then were bumped back. So, the first update of the night is this one. This one covers the period from about 11:00 p.m. Friday night through 3:00 a.m. Saturday morning.
Below are some samples from this set of images. If you want to see the entire set (about 110 shots) click here.

I’ll be back in a few hours with more photographs.
More rain in Long’s park
3 years ago
Below are some selections from the afternoon shots of this year’s Sertoma BBQ. The rain continues to make everything sloppier. Simple set-up tasks are tougher (if not next to impossible) and no matter, you’re wet, cold and muddy.
The good news is that all the trucks are here with everything to go into the dinners. Everything is in place and mostly ready to go. Soon, the hard work begins.

The first images from the Sertoma BBQ

I was there this mornning at 9:00 a.m. The rain, well, it’s not good. It’s supposed slow down or stop at some point today. Hopefully that point will be sooner rather than later.
The standing water in the park from the night long soak is bad enough, if it continues to fall it will make things much tougher.
Here are some shots from this morning.

Thanks for stopping by!
I’ll be there all night and all day tomorrow and I’ll be updating this site and the Flickr Gallery as often as possible (probably about once an hour depending on the quality of the internet connection). Keep checking back for updates.
