A Post-Mortem on my Project365 was posted on my blog today. Check it out HERE

(YES I KNOW… it says EVERYWHERE that it’s called Project365… Its not MY fault 2012 was a leap year) Anyways, Crystal and I rang in 2013 in spectacular fashion with Jessica (who Crystal went to University with) and her new … Continue reading →

Day #365

30 Dec ’12

Today was spent driving. St. Clair Shores, MI to St. Catharines, Ontario… In a 16′ Penske rental truck… and all went without fail. Crystal and I got across the border without even a question of what exactly is in the … Continue reading →

Day #364

29 Dec ’12

Today I was, thankfully, feeling much better… After some morning packing (and inventory-ing for the borders that we have to cross) I headed out to pick up the Penske Truck that will haul our belongings from Michigan to St. Catharines, … Continue reading →

Day #363

28 Dec ’12

Today was probably made possible by coffee… and orange juice. It seems that the small little cold that I wasn’t really worried about in Boston turned into a HUGE mess of a cold that sort of killed my day. Thanks … Continue reading →

Day #362

27 Dec ’12

One last cat photo for the last week of 2012… and it’s Gypsy’s first experience in the snow. We let Gypsy (on her leash) out on the back deck and in the yard of the Moore Resort to experience snow … Continue reading →

Day #361

26 Dec ’12

“Boxing Day” in Canada… a holiday that I think that big box stores tried to bring to the states as a second Black Friday, and never succeeded… Crystal and I headed out into what I imagined to be a tame … Continue reading →

Day #360

25 Dec ’12

Christmas Day here at the “Moore Resort” was as hectic as you can imagine with 5 children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years old. Christmas dinner was phenomenal and watching the children run around and open presents … Continue reading →

24 Dec ’12

Merry Christmas Eve!!! Crystal and I set out this morning (after cramming our luggage, etc into our poor car for the last time in 2012) for St. Catharines, Ontario via our storage locker in Albany. After 9 hours of driving, and … Continue reading →

Day #358

23 Dec ’12

Two last shows for the week and the LAST photo from the MEMPHIS Tour in my Project365! Crazy to think of, but even more crazy is the thought that after today’s shows I will only have 10 more performances of … Continue reading →

Day #357

22 Dec ’12

I spent today with @mooreofcrys and @kmccoy tweeting for @MemphisBroadway and @BroadwayBoston for both shows here at the Colonial Theatre… IT WAS AMAZING. I also had the opportinity to snap a bunch of amazing photos of the MEMPHIS company including … Continue reading →

Day #356

Made the trip to Albany, NY from Boston, MA today in a the 16′ box truck from yesterday’s post. Snapped a few photos along the way (when it was safe). As I pulled off the highway into the Troy/Cohoes New … Continue reading →

Day #355

20 Dec ’12

Spent today driving a 16′ box truck around China town in Boston… it was challenging to say the least. Picked up my personal workboxes, etc from the theatre in preparation for a drive to drop them in Albany, NY tomorrow. … Continue reading →

Day #354

19 Dec ’12

RUSHED back from today’s apartment hunt with Crystal in Albany, NY for a very fast (and very rushed feeling) photo-shoot with Angela. This theatre is SO unique… I knew I had to photograph it somehow, and when I managed to … Continue reading →

Day #353

18 Dec ’12

16 days left in 2012 and Crystal and I both went to the theatre tonight to officially share our excitement with the rest of our MEMPHIS family. Letters were officially sent tonight, and notice officially given. My last day with … Continue reading →

Day #352

17 Dec ’12

Today was an important day in the life of both Crystal and I. While apartment hunting in Albany, NY (it will make sense soon) I received the email I had been waiting for. The letter indicating a formal offer for … Continue reading →

Day #351

16 Dec ’12

Snapped a few photos in a REALLY cool (and cold and snowy) alley with an amazing member of the MEMPHIS acting company today. Turns out, he ended up on stage shortly after this in a role that he understudies, Bobby. … Continue reading →

Day #350

15 Dec ’12

Headed out the front doors of the theatre today (to visit the Dunkin Donuts on the corner), and caught a glimpse of Boston Common… through the window decals that adorn the front entrance of the Colonial Theatre here in Boston. … Continue reading →

Day #349

A quick photo of my little Christmas Tree at work. Crystal and I set up a tree (complete with lights and ornaments) and dressed the window with lights and hung stockings from the mirror in out hotel room here in … Continue reading →

Day #348

13 Dec ’12

Today’s photo of the day workflow has been a bit different than usual. I am actually writing this post before taking the photo. Today’s photo (like a few of the past one) required notice of photography posted days in advance … Continue reading →

Day #347

12 Dec ’12

A portion of the Boston skyline from the top of the parking garage next to the hotel… I snapped this one as I was headed into work tonight. The intended photo of the day, and a few outtakes from the … Continue reading →

Day #346

11 Dec ’12

Today, was again spent inside the Colonial Theatre. Unlike yesterday, today, I wasn’t able to grab my camera and wander around, in fact, I didn’t really even get a dinner break. We worked from 8am until the show began, stopping … Continue reading →

Day #345

10 Dec ’12

Monday in Boston, and after arriving at 3am on a bus from Providence, some of us will work 12 hours today, others will work an almost civil 8 hours. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is one of the few across the country … Continue reading →

Day #344

9 Dec ’12

Between our last two shows here in Providence and I snapped a HDR image of the theatre’s marquee. A beautifully inspirational theatre here for a week, and now its off to Boston, MA for two weeks before heading home for … Continue reading →

Day #343

8 Dec ’12

As I was walking through the theatre just before the ushers let the audience in, I looked up and thought the ceiling (which wasn’t in the earlier photo of this gorgeous theatre) would make a great last minute photo for … Continue reading →

Day #342

7 Dec ’12

After the show tonight I finally made good on a conversation about dance and photography. Preston, a somewhat recent addition to the MEMPHIS tour joined me after the show to jump around in the lobby of the theatre. A gorgeous … Continue reading →

Day #341

6 Dec ’12

Snapped a quick portrait of Bree tonight before the show. There is gorgeous backdrop material all around this theatre, and I knew I wanted to use this cool pattern as a backdrop for one photo this week. This wasn’t exactly … Continue reading →

Day #340

5 Dec ’12

On the walk back from the theatre tonight, I turned a different corner than I normally do, and came across this great sign complete with red neon illuminating the face of it from the beer sign in the window. Not … Continue reading →

Day #339

4 Dec ’12

Tuesday-Opening night here at PPAC in Providence, RI, and I snapped this HDR image of the GORGEOUS theatre before the audience was let in. Hopefully I will find a few interesting photos in and around this gorgeous building this week!

Day #338

3 Dec ’12

ROAD TRIP! Today, a short one (in comparison to the Detroit to Portland road trip earlier this year) from Rochester, NY to Providence, RI. 6 hours in a car, and we were there. Not bad at all. One week in … Continue reading →

Day #337

2 Dec ’12

One last quick HDR image in the week of somewhat meaningless HDR images from around the theatre here in Rochester, NY. Tonight the MEMPHIS tour packs up, loads out, and leaves Rochester, and of course, just because all of our … Continue reading →

Day #336

1 Dec ’12

Another random HDR of some small detail in or around this old masonic building here in Rochester, NY. Today’s offering was one that I happened to notice as I passed by a second story window and glanced out to see … Continue reading →
