It was very dark in the theatre and I was on the end of my 300mm lens. I actually started out with my 24-70mm but soon realized that I wouldn't be able to get a tight shot unless I switched. Switching a lens in the dark is a tricky little number, you should try it. The 30 minutes went quickly. I managed to get off about 10 shots of Eduardo (as they refer to him in one of the scenes) and only a few of those were well lit.
I have to say, I didn't really notice that there was no speaking until about half way through the show. It's amazing to think about how much you're able to express and convey through dancing and body movements. I guess I should change that to say, it's amazing how much trained professionals are able to ...
Much thanks to Julie Giles for giving me the opportunity to go and to Julie Lally for showing me around. In addition to the meet and greet I got a special quick tour of the back stage. I'll definitely have to go back for another tour where I can take photos, it's pretty cool how many artists and performers have signed (or otherwise grafitti'd) the walls.
Anyway, run out and grab yourself a ticket before they are all sold out. Take the significant other out for a nice romantic date to the theatre, you'll be glad you did.

*edit - I should add that KC from St. Louis (I met her at the meet and greet) has great coverage of this event, so skip on over to her site, All The World's a Stage for details on this show or any other show really.
St. Louis Arch Through LeavesYou have to look closely but it's there. The St. Louis Arch is awesome, it never gets old for me. Today Sarah, Jack and myself went down to the Arch grounds to do some shooting.
Botanical Gardens St. LouisEver been to Botanical Gardens in St. Louis? If not, I highly recommend it. And while this photo doesn't actually highlight the beauty of Botanical Gardens, you can find out more info on their website at MoBot.org
Entrances: South City St. LouisI've been collecting photos of entrances for quite awhile so I thought I'd unleash a few now. These were taken in South City St. Louis. A plate full of toasted ravioli for the first person who can name the street.

Benton Park Grunge in St. LouisBenton Park is a cool little historic neighborhood near downtown St. Louis. It's actually the first place I lived when I moved to St. Louis. I lived near Pestalozzi and McNair, close to Venice Cafe.
Caps - Schlafly No. 15Time for another Caps entry. This time I'm keeping it local with my favorite brewery of all time: Schlafly. This No. 15 brew is the tool I use to get people in the door and it even got Sarah to start trying (and now liking) beer.
Supporting the Tower Grove Farmers' Market is the smart thing to do. Why? Cause it's the right thing to do, AND you get a t-shirt. Beat that! It starts up again this season: Every Saturday from May 10 through October 25, 8:30am until 12:30pm.
Soulard Farmers Market - 10 thingsThis is a continuing series where I take one subject and in one short shoot produce 10 images for a series. Well here we go for round three.
St. Louis Zoo Kitty KittyWent to the Zoo awhile back and never went through the photos. Finally got the time and look, I found this little gem.
Benton Park ChihuahuaYanked this photo out of the archives. I was importing all of my stuff back into iView MediaPro and noticed this little Gem. It was taken during a stroll through Benton Park West.
Rainbow over St. LouisThis is the first rainbow shot I've ever captured. At 10mm I was able to get both sides of the rainbow in a single shot!
The list of places I will no longer eat at grew to 4 deep this past week. For those of you who may be curious. Toire wa doko desu ka? = Where is the toilet?
Fox Theatre - Edward ScissorhandsAnother shot of the ceiling from the Fox Theatre. I also processed a few more of the photos from the Edward Scissorhands show. I uploaded them into a slideshow for your viewing pleasure. Click here to check them out.
