Impromptu Dress Rehersal |
Oh my, I had a lady try and snatch the shirt of my back. No kidding. I still got it.
Well not really. They were doing a dress rehearsal and she needed a large white mens dress shirt. I was the only one there with a shirt like that as I had to dash off from work, speed through rush hour, past CONSTRUCTION, wait on 5 red lights, get delayed by an accident, get delayed but a police car, a fire truck and two ambulances, oh and did I mention rush hour traffic? Miracle or miracles I was only 10 minutes late and did not miss my niece at all despite only having 90 minutes to cover 100 miles. Needless to say I did not have a chance to change from my work attire. And no I did not give up my shirt. Sorry but the world is not ready for that.
The pictures, best as I could tell all turned out well. None were as bad as the one I posted a few posts ago (Saturday) . What a difference some nice equipment and knowing how to use your equipment makes a difference. I will post a couple once I get a chance to look at them and sort them out after work. Oh and my niece was the best one in her routines and almost as good as the older gals. She does love her dance.
OK, quick update before heading into work. Of the 700+ pictures I took... 10 percent fell into the very nice category (of course there is always room for improvement)... just under 5 percent fell into the reject, mainly because of improper focus... of those only about 5 were actually deleted because they just did not have any redeeming qualities. Funny thing, the ones I consider reject or just automatically deleted, every one was better then the majority of pictures I took of dance recitals in the past. I love my camera!
Here is a teaser. I went a looking and found this cute picture from last night. I will post a few more after work.

Hi Bryan, I got here from my new blogger friend, g-man.
I like your blog, you have a great sense of humor!
I have been bouncing thru blogs, and you people are a fun group!!!!!
Ah, some excuse she had. She was after U!
Hi Littlewing, come back any time and do wander about. You will find that G-man has a lot of interesting people come visit, several of whom come here too. We do like to have fun. If it is not fun, who bother? Hope to see you around.
Evalinn, nice to see you too. You know, I keep telling myself it was all about me but somehow I just don't know I am convinced.
It seems like whenever one is in a hurry that's when you run into all kinds of holdups in traffic.
Can't wait to see some pics.
tc
traffic sucks when you really need to be somewhere..(try living here...sheesh). Looking forward to seeing the photos.
Those little girls are absolutely adorable!
How cuuute!
Those little girls are sooooo cute! I know what you mean by trying to beat the clock...EVERY thing seems to go wrong...ugh! But the important thing is you made it there and didn't miss a beat...well, ok, 10 min worth ain't bad.
;o))
oh those 2 are some cutiepies! new toys are such fun aren't they?
Aw.........so adorable!
Oh my they are so cute! What was the song/dance routine? I went and checked out prices for photo shop and yeah its going to have to wait as Im more interested in getting new back door and new flooring first.
Man, my heart melts looking at those two little sweethearts. What a perfect and precious pic. Are they twins? thanks for the big smile on my face!
