Kneehigh High Chairs

[Julian de'Courcy]

It was Wednesday morning and I did not have anything planned but ended up at the beach and going to the theatre. The Knee High company performed Steptoe and Son, set in the Asylum on the North Cornwall coast. The Asylum is a Geo-dome set in a field for the summer months. There is a make shift restaurant and bar along side the dome with plenty of seats and open wood fires. The food is good,the chocolate cake the best, the music before and after the show was performed by a Californian based band the BLUE SUNS. Cannot vouch for the beer as I was driving.

Looks like an excellent day out Julian

The opening shot of the beach is beautiful - I like the reflections of the sky in the remaining water

The restaurant looks suitably temporary - kind of chaotic!

The low angle on the chairs shot is superb - makes a really dynamic shot against the clouds

The show shots worked well - they were ok with you taking photos then?

I've been chastised before know for shooting such 'events' - more jobsworths than anything serious

I can't add much more than Chris has said except to compliment you on such a super set. The stage shots are especially good and really show the stage setup and lighting to great effect. For this reason I think they have a bit of a small-scale Gregory Crewdson look to them (Gregory Crewdson Photography |)

Thanks people. All taken with the little OM_D as well. I do know them well ( some probably to well it can take the edge off the show to some extent ) and did ask.
