Shoveling Snow

[Brian Moore]

The "Snow" scene has just ended, the curtain has come down temporarily and the volunteers are shoveling up the snow that has fallen on stage.

I was scrolling through my images to find some for the "my street" theme and came across this one that I had taken during one of last year's Nutcracker performances. I think I had quickly skimmed past it when I first looked through the set of images it came from. Now I quite like it.

Olympus XA and Arista Premium 100 film. (It's actually Kodak Plus-X). Hand held (of course). Processed in Rodinal.

I REALLY like this one, Brian. Just perfect. Great dark tones, and movement that is just enough.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks a lot, Rob. Much appreciated.

That a whopping cake they be snorting

 

[Brian Moore]

lol. When my daughter saw it she thought there was some snorting going on, too.

Wonderful Brian - as are all of the stage shots you've posted. And if you hadn't added the text, it would have been wonderfully abstract too.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you, Pete. Much appreciated.

It really invites you in to try to work out what is going on. Took me a while to notice the bin and work out those are brooms. Your text then made it easier to see what it was.

Actually I reckon he is hiding the truth. They are actually spreading out some 'special' snow in preparation for the after-show party!

I appreciate the comments, Paul. Thank you.

That's right Pete. The "After Snow" party we call it round these parts. We all lie around and make snow angels.

Of course you do Brian. So what are all the giant straws for then?!

Uh-oh. Pete,...I'm not saying another word!
